Error in XPath binding in XAML

Question

I have a binding in XAML:

{Binding XPath=List/Item[@Status='OK']}

Visual Studio tells me it's expecting ' and } but when I look at documentation elsewhere, it seems this line looks fine. It won't compile and gives me an error saying that the member List/Item[@Status='OK'] is not accessible.

What am I doing wrong?

To fix the problem, try to escape the entire XPath expression with quotes, and escape quotes inside XPath using &amp;amp;quot; :

{Binding XPath='List/Item[@Status=&amp;amp;amp;quot;OK&amp;amp;amp;quot;]'}

Or another option, escape equals sign and single quotes using backslash :

{Binding XPath=List/Item[@Status\=\'OK\']}
