Silverlight how to bind properties to List item values

I am new to XAML and playing around with the features. At this stage I am creating a datagrid populated with static data.
I want to know how to disable certain rows, I tried binding the IsEnabled Property to the model and then giving it boolean values like so:

public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }

public bool enabled { get; set; }
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public Model(int id, string name, string prop, bool isenabled)
{
Id = id;
Name = name;
Prop = prop;
enabled = isenabled;
}
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
}
But this far it only adds a column for IsEnabled as expected, but I thought it would also set the property value as well.
Could someone maybe explain how the binding between the XAML and C# works if it is even possible this way?

You could use a RowStyle to disable a row:
<Style x:Key="DataGridStyle1" TargetType="sdk:DataGrid">
<Setter Property="RowStyle">
<Setter.Value>
<Style TargetType="sdk:DataGridRow">
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="{Binding enabled}"/>
</Style>
</Setter.Value>

WPF DatePicker Icon Size

I have a DatePicker like this:
<DatePicker Grid.Row="7" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="43" CalendarStyle="{StaticResource styleCalendar}"/>
The problem is, that increasing the font size of the date picker doesn't resize the icon and it remains small.
I've searched but couldn't find a proper way to only resize the icon, or maybe this is not the proper way of enlarging the whold picker

For people who are not satisfied with the simple answers from Michael Repucci there is a "cleaner" alternative solution to my taste which allows you to surround only the icon by a viewbox.
You can right click on the element you want to modify on the Design panel of an xaml file and click on "modify model". This will take you to the xaml code of the element. Then you have to locate the part you want to modify. Here I have surrounded only the Button that contains the icon with a ViewBox and not the whole control.
The part in question is almost at the bottom. I put some line feeds to make it more visible.

I hope this answer will help someone.

The easiest way to do this is to put the DatePicker into a Viewbox and adjust the size of the Viewbox. So borrowing from your example, you might have
<Viewbox Grid.Row="7" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="150">
<DatePicker CalendarStyle="{StaticResource styleCalendar}"/>
</Viewbox>
where increasing/decreasing the Viewbox.Width parameter will allow you to adjust the size of the DatePicker.

For me the solution that worked was to put only the calendar button inside a viewbox.
<DatePicker...>
<DatePicker.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Viewbox>
<ContentPresenter/>
</Viewbox>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</DatePicker.Resources>
</DatePicker>

WPF DatePicker format

I got this sample code from this forum.
<DatePicker SelectedDate="{Binding myVideModelProperty}"
Height="25" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="81,-2,0,0" Name="myDatePicker" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115">
<DatePicker.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePickerTextBox}">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<TextBox x:Name="PART_TextBox"
Text="{Binding Path=SelectedDate, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type DatePicker}}, StringFormat={}{0:yyyy/MM/dd}}" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</DatePicker.Resources>
</DatePicker>
But I want the format i.e yyyy/MM/dd to come from an application property called dateformat.
Can you help me put the stringformat as a binding to the application property.

All of the other answers seem a little bit convoluted. It is as simple as:
<DatePicker SelectedDate="{Binding PropertyName, StringFormat=dd/MM/yyyy}"/>
All you need to do is adjust the string format to suit yourself.

Use this snippet for your DatePicker (you will have to style it):
<DatePicker SelectedDate="{Binding myVideModelProperty}">
<DatePicker.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePickerTextBox}">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<TextBox x:Name="PART_TextBox"
Text="{Binding Path=SelectedDate,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type DatePicker}},
StringFormat={x:Static local:App.DateFormat}}" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</DatePicker.Resources>
</DatePicker>
Use this snippet for your App.xaml.cs (change the namespace to something useful):
namespace _24417730
{
public partial class App
{
public static string DateFormat = "yyyy/MM/dd";

}
In the xaml control containing your DatePicker, define a XAML namespace like so:
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:_24417730"
Note that you will have to change the namespace to the one you used to define your application class.
Here is how I defined my xaml namespace on the MainWindow.xaml control:
<Window x:Class="_24417730.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:_24417730"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<StackPanel>
<DatePicker SelectedDate="{Binding myVideModelProperty}">
<DatePicker.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePickerTextBox}">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<TextBox x:Name="PART_TextBox"
Text="{Binding Path=SelectedDate,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type DatePicker}},
StringFormat={x:Static local:App.DateFormat}}" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</DatePicker.Resources>
</DatePicker>
</StackPanel>
</Window>
Also, reading up on Static Markup Extension and XAML Namespaces may help for future reference.
If you require any further clarifications, I will be happy to assist.

You can use converters for that.
Or you can add another property to your class which will return the formatted date.
With converter
public class DateFormatConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
return string.Format(Application.DateFormat, value);
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
}
}

Add a Style for DatePickerTextBox like this, no CultureInfo required, make the format you want with StringFormat:
<DatePicker SelectedDate="{Binding myProperty}">
<DatePicker.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePickerTextBox}">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<TextBox x:Name="PART_TextBox" Text="{Binding Path=SelectedDate, StringFormat='dd MMMM yyyy', RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type DatePicker}}}" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</DatePicker.Resources>
</DatePicker>

Most of the time, when you want to change date format, it's usually because your had the wrong culture.
Set the current thread culture correctly :
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("fr-FR");
After that, if the culture format is still not ok for you, you can change it via ShortDatePattern and LongDatePattern properties of CulureInfo.
ci.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy"; //where ci a CultureInfo object
Finally you can tell DatePicker to prefer Short or Long format via SelectedDateFormat property.

WPF Datepicker Calendar buttons not working (Using modified template)

I apologize in advance if this is already out there (I did an advanced search and couldn't find this specific issue.)
I'm using a custom WPF Datepicker calendar template (Just changing colors really), but now my buttons don't work. It will pop up the calendar, but nothing works from that point, Am i missing anything? Here's the code below:

Value="{StaticResource CalendarStyle1}" />
</Style>
And this is where the resource dictionaries are referenced (In case I did it wrong, I'm new to xaml
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary
Source="ResourceDictionary/CustomCalendar.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary
Source="ResourceDictionary/GlobalStyles.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

Your problem is with your style TargetTypes. If you notice you have the style for your calendar defined as:
<Style x:Key="CalendarStyle1" TargetType="{x:Type Calendar}">
And the style for your CalendarItem defined as:
<Style x:Key="CalenderStyleNew" TargetType="primitives:CalendarItem">
The problem is that the Calendar type is from the standard System.Windows.Controls package but the CalendarItem is from the namespace Microsoft.Windows.Controls (that's the wpftoolkit namespace you have defined as primitives). So to fix this you have to either use ALL System.Windows.Controls in your styles or use ALL Microsoft.Windows.Controls namespaces.
I fixed your issue to use all Microsoft.Windows.Controls:
<Style x:Key="CalendarStyle1" TargetType="{x:Type Controls:Calendar}">
The global styles must be changed to:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Controls:DatePicker}">
<Setter
Property="CalendarStyle"
Value="{StaticResource CalendarStyle1}" />
</Style>
And to instantiate a DatePicker you must use the correct one:
<Controls:DatePicker />
NOT
<DatePicker />
If you don't reference it from the WpfToolkit namespace it won't have your custom styles.

WPF slider in disabled state after editing template

I used the latest Blend preview to create a style for the slider. When I run the application, the slider is always disabled. As soon as a remove the custom style, it is enabled again. I cannot see why this would be happening.
Template code generated by Blend is below:
<Style x:Key="SliderStyle1" TargetType="Slider">
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="Maximum" Value="10"/>
<Setter Property="Minimum" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Value" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush">
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">

<GradientStop Color="#FF718597" Offset="0.375"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF617584" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False"/>

Some of the Silverlight control templates work in WPF, while others do not. Slider is one of those controls.
