WPF AvalonEdit does not display bound TextDocument from ViewModel - c#

I have no Binding errors in my output window.
I want to bind text from a file(s) to one/many avalonEdit controls via MVVM.
How can I do that, because its not working the way I tried?!

}
I have looked at that sample were MVVM is introduced:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/570313/AvalonDock-Tutorial-Part-AvalonEdit-in-Avalo
I do the same binding actually when I load a text file but my text is just not shown :/
You can find here a repro visual studio solution:

MVVM WPF TreeView in the MainWindow bound to the ObservableCollection doesn't update when the ObservableCollection was modified from another window

The problem might look similar to this
But I don't have an issue with updating the TreeView if the ObservableCollection is modified in the same window (as in the case of the linked post).
I have a TreeView located in my MainWindow. I use a HierarchicalDataTemplate for the TreeView, basically the TreeView is structured into three levels of hierarchy: Group, Report, Node
For each level of the TreeView, I have created simple Model classes, each class will have a Name property and an ObservableCollection of its children class as second property (e.g., Group class will have a Name and a ReportList property, whilst Report class will have a Name and NodeList property)
In the ViewModel of my MainWindow, I have an ObservableCollection of the Group objects (I named it Groups) that is bound to the TreeView. I also have a RelayCommand method that will add a new Group object to the Groups collection (Let's call it the ImportReport Method). If I bind the RelayCommand to the button inside the MainWindow, everything worked fine, the TreeView is updated immediately with new Group Object each time I press the button.
However, this becomes an issue when I have another window, let's call it ImportWindow. In ImpportWindow, I have a button. Probably this is the cause of the issue, but I use the same ViewModel for both the ImportWindow and the MainWindow so that they can share the Groups property that is bound to the TreeView in the MainWindow. My goal is to perform addition to the TreeView from the second window by pressing a button from there. Now, If I move the binding of the ImportReport command to the button in ImportWindow instead, then try to run the code, pressing the button on ImportWindowdoesn't update the TreeView at all. I have debugged the code and the Groups ObservableCollection in the ViewModel indeed recorded a new addition but the TreeView doesn't display the new Group object.
Any explanation to this? Thanks!

How to bind events and properties of controls in UniformGrid dynamically?

I am a newbie in templating Wpf controls. I use VS2013, WPF 4.5 and Caliburn Micro 2.0.2. In part of tasks I have I need to populate a grid with toggle buttons contained different images and its subtitle. I have solved it using UniformGrid. See my code below. They work but still don't have event and property binding since I don't know how I can bind the events and properties of toggle buttons to view model, since they are generated automatically and dynamically and the number of toggle buttons is uncertain (depends on the number of images in the image folder).
For example:
manually I could bind the Click event, IsChecked property and some other properties of toggle button 1 like following:
<ToggleButton x:Name="ToggleVehicle01" IsChecked={Binding SelectedVehicle01} Background="{Binding BackColorSelectedVehicle01}" ToolTip="{Binding VehicleName01}">
But now I can't do that anymore since the toggle buttons are generated automatically and their number is uncertain. Please help. Feel free to change my code below or give me examples code that works. Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Now I can bind the properties of generated ToggleButton with view model. I make the VehicleImage class to a view model (see modified code below). But I still have problem to bind Click-event of generated ToggleButton to view model.
The modified class to view model
public class VehicleImage : PropertyChangedBase
{
public String Image { get; private set; }
public String Name { get; private set; }
private Boolean _selectedVehicle;
public Boolean SelectedVehicle
{
get { return _selectedVehicle; }
set
{
_selectedVehicle = value;
BackColorSelectedVehicle = _selectedVehicle ? new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 242, 103, 33)) : new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);
}
}
private Brush _backColorSelectedVehicle;
public Brush BackColorSelectedVehicle
{
get { return _backColorSelectedVehicle; }
set
{
_backColorSelectedVehicle = value;
NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => BackColorSelectedVehicle);
}
}
// ToggleButton's Click-Event Handler, but it doesn't get event trigger from View.
// Therefore I set the BackColorSelectedVehicle fin setter of SelectedVehicle property.
public void ToggleSelection()
{
//BackColorSelectedVehicle = SelectedVehicle ? new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 242, 103, 33)) : new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);
}
public VehicleImage(String image)
{
Image = image;
Name = Path.GetFileName(image);
}
}
The modified view
<ToggleButton Width="180"
Margin="10,10,10,10"
Background="{Binding Path=BackColorSelectedVehicle}"
FontSize="10"

MVVM based Item binding to two Windows Phone controls

I have two Controls on a single Page :
1. RadSlider
2. ListBox
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="100"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<telerik:RadSlideView Name="imgSlidView" >
<telerik:RadSlideView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Image Source="{Binding Src}"></Image>
</DataTemplate>
</telerik:RadSlideView.ItemTemplate>
<telerik:RadSlideView.ItemPreviewTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<telerik:RadBusyIndicator></telerik:RadBusyIndicator>
</DataTemplate>

<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Image Height="100" Margin="0,0,5,0" Source="{Binding Src}"></Image>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
I want to bind the two controls to a single Item Source such that if selection of one changes other's selection also should change . I am interested in MVVM based solution.
My code :
class CategoryViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
public ObservableCollection<ImageSource> ImageCollection { get; set; }
private ImageSource _CurrentImage;
public ImageSource CurrentImage
{
get { return _CurrentImage; }
set
{
_CurrentImage = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("CurrentImage");
}
}
}
In addition to this I have a piece of code that returns IEnumerable and I want this to be as Item Source.
public static async Task<IEnumerable<Object>> GetCategoryNames()
{
if (Categories == null)
{
JDir dir = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JDir>(await LoadFromJson());
Categories = ConvertJDirToCategory(dir);
return Categories.Select(p => new { Name = p.Name, Src = "Images/" + p.Name + ".jpg" });
}
else
{
return Categories.Select(p => new { Name = p.Name, Src = "Images/" + p.Name + ".jpg" });
}
}
Am I doing in right way ? How should I proceed ?
Thanks in advance !
EDIT - from comments:
private static async Task<string> LoadFromJson()
{
string theData = string.Empty;
StorageFile file = await Windows.Storage.StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(new Uri("ms-appx:///data.json"));
using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(await file.OpenStreamForReadAsync()))
{
return await streamReader.ReadToEndAsync();
}
}
Thanks every body, My problem has been solved now :

Your problem is that you're binding a ListBox to an object that contains several properties, but really only represents a single object/state. The ListBox expects to display a list of items (i.e. IList, IBindingList, IEnumerable, ObservableCollection).
Assuming you want to display more than one download at a time, which I'm assuming given that you're using a ListBox, I would refactor the download properties into a separate class. You will also need to implement INotifyPropertyChanged on your properties so that when the values are changed, they will be shown in the UI.
public class Download : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private string _WebsiteTitle;
public string WebsiteTitle
{
get { return _WebsiteTitle; }
set
{
if (_WebsiteTitle == value)
return;
_WebsiteTitle = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged("WebsiteTitle");
}
}
private string _Status;
public string Status
{
get { return _Status; }
set
{
if (_Status == value)
return;
_Status = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged("Status");
}
}
private string _DownloadStartDate;
public string DownloadStartDate
{
get { return _DownloadStartDate; }
set
{
if (_DownloadStartDate == value)
return;
_DownloadStartDate = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged("DownloadStartDate");
}
}
private string _DownloadingSpeed = "0 kb/s";
public string DownloadingSpeed
{
get { return _DownloadingSpeed; }
set
{
if (_DownloadingSpeed == value)
return;
_DownloadingSpeed = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged("DownloadingSpeed");
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
if(this.PropertyChanged != null)
this.PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
The new BindingController:
public class BindingController
{
public BindingController()
{
this.Downloads = new ObservableCollection<Download>();
}
public ObservableCollection<Download> Downloads { get; private set; }
}
Setting up the bindings in XAML:
<ListBox Width="Auto"
Name="WebsiteList"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="2"
Grid.RowSpan="2"
ItemsSource="{Binding Downloads}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource DownloadedWebsitesListBox}"
Margin="0,0,0,0">
</ListBox>
Initializing the collection in MainWindow
Download download = new Download();
download.DownloadingSpeed = "40kb/s";
download.WebsiteTitle = "WebsiteTitle";
download.Status = "Downloading";
bc.Downloads.Add(download);
this.DataContext = bc;

WPF: Binding a List<class> to a ComboBox

I've been working on this problem for about 3 hours now, and I got to a dead end.
Currently I'm trying to bind a list to a ComboBox.
I have used several methods to bind the List:
Code behind:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public coImportReader ir { get; set; }
public MainWindow()
{
ir = new coImportReader();
InitializeComponent();
}
private void PremadeSearchPoints(coSearchPoint sp)
{
//SearchRefPoint.DataContext = ir.SearchPointCollection;
SearchRefPoint.ItemsSource = ir.SearchPointCollection;
SearchRefPoint.DisplayMemberPath = Name;
The data was binded correctly but the DisplayMemeberPath for some reason returned the name of the class and not the name of it's member.
The XAML method returned an empty string...
<ComboBox x:Name="SearchRefPoint" Height="30" Width="324" Margin="0,10,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top" ItemsSource="{Binding ir.SearchPointCollection}"
DisplayMemberPath="Name">
I've also tried to fill it with a new list which I create in the MainWindow. the result was the same in both cases.
Also I've tried to create and ListCollectionView which was success, but the problem was that I could get the index of the ComboBox item. I prefer to work by an Id. For that reason I was looking for a new solution which I found at: http://zamjad.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/multi-columns-combo-box/
The problem with this example is that is not clear how the itemsource is being binded.
Edit:
To sum things up: I'm currently trying to bind a list(SearchPointsCollection) of objects(coSearchPoints) defined in a class (coImportReader).
namespace Import_Rates_Manager
{
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public coImportReader ir;
public coViewerControles vc;
public coSearchPoint sp;
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
ir = new coImportReader();
vc = new coViewerControles();
sp = new coSearchPoint();
SearchRefPoint.DataContext = ir;
}
}
}
//in function....
SearchRefPoint.ItemsSource = ir.SearchPointCollection;
SearchRefPoint.DisplayMemberPath = "Name";
namespace Import_Rates_Manager
{
public class coImportReader
{
public List<coSearchPoint> SearchPointCollection = new List<coSearchPoint>();
}
}
namespace Import_Rates_Manager
{
public class coSearchPoint
{
public coSearchPoint()
{
string Name = "";
Guid Id = Guid.NewGuid();
IRange FoundCell = null;
}
}
}
This results in a filled combobox with no text
Here a simple example using the MVVM Pattern
XAML
<Window x:Class="Binding_a_List_to_a_ComboBox.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

<ColumnDefinition Width="150"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="50"/>
<RowDefinition Height="25"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ComboBox Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" ItemsSource="{Binding SearchPointCollection , UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
SelectedIndex="{Binding MySelectedIndex, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
SelectedItem="{Binding MySelectedItem, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Id}" Grid.Row="0"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Grid.Row="1"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Otherstuff}" Grid.Row="2"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
<Button Content="Bind NOW" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" Click="Button_Click"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding MySelectedIndex, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0"/>
<Grid Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1"
DataContext="{Binding MySelectedItem, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Id}" Grid.Column="0"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Grid.Column="1"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding SomeValue}" Grid.Column="2"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>

Here are 3 Classes:
MainWindow which set VM as his Datacontext
coImportReader the Class which presents your properties for your bindings
coSearchPoint which is just a Container for your information
IRange which is just an Interface
The Collection you are binding to needs to be a property of ir not a field.
Also try this :
public coImportReader ir { get; set; }
public <type of SearchPointCollection> irCollection { get { return ir != null ? ir.SearchPointCollection : null; } }
Bind to irCollection and see what errors you get if any.
The DisplayMemberPath should contain the property name of the elements in your collection. Assuming the elements in the SearchPointCollection are of the type SearchPoint and this class has a Property SearchPointName you should set DisplayMemberPath like this:
SearchRefPoint.DisplayMemberPath = "SearchPointName";
Edit:
In your code the class coSearchPoint has the Field Name defined in the Constructor. Name has to be a Property of the class, otherwise the Binding can't work.
