Delete sqlite data in listview on uwp

I have a listview whose data is extracted from sqlite database, as shown below:
I want to check the user click the delete button, then the data on the list is deleted and the data in the sqlite database also deleted.
XAML:
<ListView x:Name="ListTryout" Grid.Row="1" Margin="0,5,0,10" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource itemsViewSource}}" DataContext="{Binding SelectedItem, ElementName=itemListView}" IsItemClickEnabled="True" SelectionChanged="ListTryout_SelectionChanged" Background="{x:Null}" SelectionMode="Single">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="0" Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock Margin="10,10,0,0" FontSize="20" Text="{Binding Judul}" Style="{StaticResource CaptionTextBlockStyle}" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
<TextBlock Margin="10,10,0,0" FontSize="17" Text="{Binding JumlahSoal}" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontWeight="SemiLight"/>
<TextBlock Margin="10,10,0,0" FontSize="17" Text="{Binding Durasi}" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontWeight="SemiLight" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
<Line X1="0" X2="1" Stretch="Fill" Margin="10,10,10,0" Stroke="#FF4B4B4B"/>
</StackPanel>
<AppBarButton x:Name="deleteItemBtn" Grid.Column="1" Margin="0,0,50,0" Icon="Delete" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Click="deleteItemBtn_Click"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
Code:
private void ReadTryoutList_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ReadAllDBName dbName = new ReadAllDBName();
DB_TryoutList = dbName.GetAllDBName();
ListTryout.ItemsSource = DB_TryoutList.OrderByDescending(i => i.ID).ToList();//Binding DB data to LISTBOX and Latest contact ID can Display first.
if(DB_TryoutList.Count == 0)
{
statuskosongStack.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
ListTryout.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}
else
{
statuskosongStack.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
ListTryout.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
}
private void deleteItemBtn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Db_Helper.DeleteQuiz(currentquiz.ID);
}
DatabaseHelper class:
public void CreateDatabase(string DB_PATH)
{
if (!CheckFileExists(DB_PATH).Result)
{
using (SQLite.Net.SQLiteConnection conn = new SQLite.Net.SQLiteConnection(new SQLite.Net.Platform.WinRT.SQLitePlatformWinRT(), DB_PATH))
{
conn.CreateTable<DBName>();
}
}
}
private async Task<bool> CheckFileExists(string fileName)
{
try
{
var store = await Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFileAsync(fileName);
return true;
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}
// Insert the new history in the DBName table.
public void Insert(DBName dBName)
{
using (SQLite.Net.SQLiteConnection conn = new SQLite.Net.SQLiteConnection(new SQLite.Net.Platform.WinRT.SQLitePlatformWinRT(), App.DB_PATH))
{
conn.RunInTransaction(() =>
{
conn.Insert(dBName);
});
}
}
public DBName ReadName(int quizid)
{
using (SQLite.Net.SQLiteConnection conn = new SQLite.Net.SQLiteConnection(new SQLite.Net.Platform.WinRT.SQLitePlatformWinRT(), App.DB_PATH))
{
var existingName = conn.Query<DBName>("select * from DBName where ID =" + quizid).FirstOrDefault();
return existingName;
}
}
public ObservableCollection<DBName> ReadAllDBName()
{
try
{
using (SQLite.Net.SQLiteConnection conn = new SQLite.Net.SQLiteConnection(new SQLite.Net.Platform.WinRT.SQLitePlatformWinRT(), App.DB_PATH))
{
List<DBName> myCollection = conn.Table<DBName>().ToList<DBName>();
ObservableCollection<DBName> DBNameList = new ObservableCollection<DBName>(myCollection);
return DBNameList;
}
}
catch
{
return null;
}
}
public void DeleteQuiz(string ID)
{
using (SQLite.Net.SQLiteConnection conn = new SQLite.Net.SQLiteConnection(new SQLite.Net.Platform.WinRT.SQLitePlatformWinRT(), App.DB_PATH))
{
var existingquiz = conn.Query<DBName>("delete from DBName where ID ='" + ID + "'").FirstOrDefault();
if (existingquiz != null)
{
conn.RunInTransaction(() =>
{
conn.Delete(existingquiz);
});
}
}
}
I tried it, but the data can not be deleted on listview and also on the sqlite database.
How to handle it?

Set or bind the ItemsSource of the ListView to an ObservableCollection<T> and remove the item from this one, e.g.:
private ObservableCollecton<DBName> _source;
private void ReadTryoutList_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ReadAllDBName dbName = new ReadAllDBName();
DB_TryoutList = dbName.GetAllDBName();
_source = new ObservableCollecton<DBName>(DB_TryoutList.OrderByDescending(i => i.ID).ToList());
ListTryout.ItemsSource = _source;
if (DB_TryoutList.Count == 0)
{
statuskosongStack.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
ListTryout.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}
else
{
statuskosongStack.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
ListTryout.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
}
private void deleteItemBtn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var btn = sender as AppBarButton;
var item = btn.DataContext as DBName;
if (item != null)
{
_source.Remove(item);
Db_Helper.DeleteQuiz(currentquiz.ID);
}
}
I assume that GetAllDBName() are returning an IEnumerable<DBName> and that you are displaying DBNames in the ListView.

Upon initializing, the string flashes for a second then disappears. Why?
Probably because you are "overwriting" the value of the ACLBoxText source property, which is initially displayed in the TextBlock, when you set the Text property of the TextBlock in your Loaded event handler.
If the TextBlock is empty once the UI has been loaded you should make sure that the _manage.getAclList() method returns the string that you expect it to return. You could temporarily try to assign the Text property to a "static" value:
private void ACLBox_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ACLBox.Text = "TEXT";
}
But I agree that it doesn't make much sense to first bind the Text property of the TextBlock to a source property in the XAML markup and then handle the Loaded event of the same TextBlock and set its Text property to a new value in this event handler. But I guess you have your reasons...
Note that binding that you define in the XAML markup will get reset when you programmatically set the Text property in your Loaded handler though.
So you should either don't bind the Text property in the XAML markup, or don't handle the Loaded event and set the Text property programmatically. It's one or the other but not both.

I figured out the problem. This is my first C# project and first time ever using Xaml (wpf) so I misunderstood binding. I bound the text like I did in the primary gui. The text is never getting triggered within this gui so I could only see the text flash because of loaded but then the text binding reset the textbox to nothing. When I changed my text to not be bound then everything works as I wanted. Lesson learned. Binding is only needed when accessing a textbox from within .cs files. It is not needed within xaml.cs. Since my text would only ever be triggered by xaml.cs just setting text the usual way(ie textbox.text = "whatever") does what I need. Thank you everyone for your help. I understand binding much, much better now. Java does things differently. :)

As Ed Plunkett has already mentioned, you should use your ACLBoxText backing variable instead of resetting the control value.
Something like this will work:
private void ACLBox_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ACLBoxText = _manage.getAclList();
}
Unfortunately, the view doesn't know about changes to backing properties unless you tell it that something changed. You need to implement INotifyPropertyChanged:
private string _aclBoxText;
public string ACLBoxText {
get { return _aclBoxText; }
set {
_aclBoxText = value;
OnNotifyPropertyChanged("ACLBoxText");
}
}
protected void OnNotifyPropertyChanged(string name)
{
var handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(name));
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

If I understand correctly, each time the user clicks the Bid button, you need to reset the timer. However, the previous timer continues. I haven't pasted your code into a project to test, but it appears to me that you need to make the dispatch timer a class field or property like this:
private DispatchTimer _dt = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
Inside the event handler for Bid, stop the current _dt first followed by instantiating the new timer:
_dt.Stop();
_dt = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
Try this change:
namespace Auction
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
//Class level field:
private DispatchTimer _dt = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
public MainWindow()

Can you access the gradient colour created in XAML in c# wpf

Similar questions may exists, but none of them seems to be helpful. So I'll try to explain a more specific case, and see if anyone can help me.
I have an application that has a label with a gradient background. I created the gradient background using XAML, my program changes the background fine, but I want the background to change back to "normal" after the user clicks the reset button. How can I do this as still new to wpf? The code in XAML "LinearGradientBrush x:Key="headerBackground" is what I want to access in code behind

You can access the Resources of your Window by invoking FindResource providing the key you have set for your Brush (and eventually cast it to LinearGradientBrush).
this.Label1.Background = (LinearGradientBrush)this.FindResource("headerBackground")

Clearing and refilling a bound combo box

I have a WPF application with a number of comboboxes that tie together. When I switch comboboxx #1, combobox #2 switches, etc.
Here is the xaml for the 2 comboboxes:
<ComboBox Grid.Row="1" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,12,286,0" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Name="CboDivision" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" SelectionChanged="CboDivision_SelectionChanged" />
<ComboBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,9,32,0" Name="CboCustomerList" ItemsSource="{Binding}" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" SelectionChanged="CboCustomerList_SelectionChanged" Grid.Row="1" />
CboDivision gets populated at the beginning and doesnt need a reset. HEre is the code that calls the change in division, which should trigger a change in customer:
private void CboDivision_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
division = CboDivision.SelectedValue.ToString();
CboCustomerList.ItemsSource = null;
BackgroundWorker customerWorker = new BackgroundWorker();
customerWorker.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(FillCustomers);
customerWorker.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(customerWorker_RunWorkerCompleted);
FillCustomers(null, null);
}
When I do an index change it calls a backgroundworker which calls the following code:
private void FillCustomers(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
string connectionString = Settings.Default.ProdConnectionString;
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
SqlCommand SqlCmd = new SqlCommand();
Mouse.OverrideCursor = System.Windows.Input.Cursors.Wait;
SqlCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
SqlCmd.Parameters.Add("#division", SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = division;
SqlCmd.Connection = connection;
SqlCmd.CommandText = "sp_GetCustomers";
SqlDataReader reader = null;
connection.Open();
reader = SqlCmd.ExecuteReader();
List<string> result = new List<string>();
while (reader.Read())
{
result.Add(reader["NAME"].ToString());
}
e.Result = result;
}
The problem is that i am unable to switch selections on CboDivision and have CboCustomerList clear and reload new values into it. Is it the way I'm binding the values in the xaml?
How can I have a change in CboDivision cause a clearing of CboCustomerList items, then the execution of the filling routine?
i am currently resetting the combobox with:
CboCustomerList.SelectedIndex = -1;
but this just appends the new cbocustomerlist query to the end
I also tried
CboCustomerList.Items.Clear()
but that just returns a null reference error after the box is refilled and the user selects an item.

Well, you didn't post all of your code, but one problem is that you are not invoking your worker thread.
Replace FillCustomers(null, null) with customerWorker.RunWorkerAsync().
private void CboDivision_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
division = CboDivision.SelectedValue.ToString();
CboCustomerList.ItemsSource = null;
BackgroundWorker customerWorker = new BackgroundWorker();
customerWorker.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(FillCustomers);
customerWorker.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(customerWorker_RunWorkerCompleted);
customerWorker.RunWorkerAsync(); // <-- this
}
Let me know if this helps. If there is still more problem, please post the rest of your code.

There are details of code you didn't show. However, here is an example that works: two combos, what that is populated at the beginning, and a second that is populated each time the selection changes in the first. Notice that the data is fetched in a background worker, just as in your case.
XAML
<Window x:Class="CombosRefresh.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ComboBox Name="CboDivisions" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Grid.Row="0" Margin="5" />
<ComboBox Name="CboList" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Grid.Row="1" Margin="5" />
</Grid>
</Window>
C#
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
private BackgroundWorker bw = new BackgroundWorker();
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
CboDivisions.DataContext = new List<string>() { "red", "blue", "green" };
CboDivisions.SelectionChanged += CboDivisions_SelectionChanged;
bw.DoWork += bw_DoWork;
bw.RunWorkerCompleted += bw_RunWorkerCompleted;
}
void CboDivisions_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
var division = CboDivisions.SelectedValue as string;
bw.RunWorkerAsync(division);
}
void bw_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
CboList.DataContext = e.Result as List<string>;
}
void bw_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
var division = e.Argument as string;
var r = new Random();
var result = new List<string>();
for(int i = 0; i < r.Next(0, 10); ++i)
{
result.Add(string.Format("{0} #{1}", division, i+1));
}
e.Result = result;
}
}

replace the wrong FillCustomers(null, null); code
with: customerWorker.RunWorkerAsync();
