# Simple Binding Example

We want to display the name of the current race that comes from a JSON source on the internet (in this case from RACE RESULT).

The list can be retrieved from this URL [*https://api.raceresult.com/335303/J6Y6115LQEVGISWVEMFNQEG7NM3LXUF4*](https://api.raceresult.com/335303/J6Y6115LQEVGISWVEMFNQEG7NM3LXUF4) and the content looks like this: 

```json
[
    {
        "TimeOfDay": "2025-11-28 12:34:24",
        "Random": 0.74654231,
        "RaceName": "Test Race Marathon 2",
        "StartTime": "09:50",
        "IsStarted": true
    }
]
```

So we need the property called "*RaceName*" from the first element (index 0) of the list. 

First we need to add this URL known to ScreensPro. In the *Sources* tab click the *plus* button, then select *HTTP Rest (Json),* name it "*RaceResult*" and paste the URL from above:<br>

<figure><img src="/files/oFis9pgBrTWf5zarv2OK" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Then we create a layout named RaceResultSimpleBindingLayout.xaml and paste this code (this assumes you have completed the [Visual Studio Projects](/dbnetsoft/screenspro/projects-and-configs/visual-studio-projects.md) section):

```
<UserControl x:Class="AdvancedProject_400x300.RaceBindingLayout"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" 
             xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:AdvancedProject_400x300"
             mc:Ignorable="d" 
               xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:Screens.Controls;assembly=Screens.Controls"
             d:DesignHeight="450" d:DesignWidth="800">
    <UserControl.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary Source="Styles.xaml"/>
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <controls:TextElement  Foreground="{DynamicResource DefaultForeground}" Text="Current Race: " Grid.Row="0"></controls:TextElement>
        <controls:TextElement  Foreground="{DynamicResource DefaultForeground}" Text="{Binding Sources.RaceResult.Value[0].RaceName}" Grid.Row="1" FontSize="20"></controls:TextElement>
        <controls:TextElement  Foreground="{DynamicResource DefaultForeground}" Text="Rae Time: " Grid.Row="2"></controls:TextElement>
        <controls:Stopwatch2Element  Foreground="{DynamicResource DefaultForeground}" IsPaused="False" StartTime="{Binding Sources.RaceResult.Value[0].StartTime}" RunningFormat="hh:mm:sS.f" StoppedFormat="hh:mm:sS.ff" Grid.Row="3" FontSize="20"></controls:Stopwatch2Element>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

```

Import part here is the binding in the textElement's Text property: \
`<controls:TextElement Foreground="{DynamicResource DefaultForeground}" Text="`***`{Binding Sources.RaceResult.Value[0].RaceName}`***`" Grid.Row="1" FontSize="20"></controls:TextElement>`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.dbnetsoft.com/dbnetsoft/screenspro/sources/examples/simple-binding-example.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
