Use the ContactSearchResultList control to display the result of a search performed by the ContactSearchInputBox control.

The ContactSearchResultList control is intended to be used with and bound to a ContactSearchInputBox control. To bind a ContactSearchResultList control to a ContactSearchInputBox control, bind the properties as shown in the code sample later in this topic. The ContactSearchResultList control gets its results collection from the ContactSearchInputBox control.

The ContactSearchInputBox and ContactSearchResultList controls, while related, are designed as separate controls to allow the developer to display search results and search input in separate locations on a page.

As shown in the following code example, to establish the connection between these controls, you should bind ItemsSource to the Results property of the ContactSearchInputBox control.

Code Example

The following example can be used for Silverlight and WPF application development.

	Copy Code
<StackPanel> <controls:ContactSearchInputBox x:Name="searchInput"/> <controls:ContactSearchResultList ItemsSource="{Binding Results, ElementName=searchInput, Mode=OneWay}" ResultsState="{Binding SearchState, ElementName=searchInput, Mode=OneWay}"/> </StackPanel>

Copy Code

<StackPanel>
  <controls:ContactSearchInputBox x:Name="searchInput"/>
  <controls:ContactSearchResultList
	ItemsSource="{Binding Results, ElementName=searchInput,
Mode=OneWay}"
	ResultsState="{Binding SearchState, ElementName=searchInput,
Mode=OneWay}"/>
</StackPanel>
