Being guilty of being a code-head (and a binding one at that - can it get
worse!), I'm keen to know how you'd like us to make a better fist of it.
One way of binding the example of "<p>This is <strong>very</strong>
important</p>" might be to have a class structure that (with any unused
elements ignored) looks like:-
class p
{
string cdata1; // = "This is "
class strong strong;
string cdata2; // = " important"
};
class strong
{
string cdata1; // = "very"
};
as opposed to (ignoring the CDATA):
class p
{
class strong strong;
};
class strong
{
};
or (lumping all the mixed text together):
class p
{
string mixedContent; // = "<p>This is <strong>very</strong>
important</p>"
};
Or do you just decide that binding isn't the right solution in this case, or
a hybrid is required?
Thanks,
Pete.
