I am able to add a row but its empty!!Please help.it worked in windows forms but its not working with WPF.
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
GetGridView();
}
private void GetGridView()
{
string[] row0 = {textBox1.Text,"Beatles" };
dataGrid1.Items.Add(row0);
dataGrid1.Columns[0].DisplayIndex = 0;
dataGrid1.Columns[1].DisplayIndex = 1;
}
//////////////
sure,here it is

Edit: You bound the ItemsSource of the DataGrid, you cannot add items to the grid itself while that is the case, add the items to the bound collection (which is what i originally suggested)
I would not suggest you do anything like that. In WPF you should bind your controls to the data, that way you can change the source-collection and the grid will get updated automatically, which is less messy than using any method like DataGrid.Items.Add which accepts input of type object.
e.g.
Xaml:
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding GridData}" Name="DGrid"/>
<TextBox Name="TB" Width="100"/>
<Button Content="Add" Click="Button_Click"/>
Code:
private ObservableCollection<Employee> gridData = new ObservableCollection<Employee>();
public ObservableCollection<Employee> GridData
{
get { return gridData; }
}
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
GridData.Add(new Employee(TB.Text, "Beatles?"));
}

C# WPF Binding of group boxes and controls inside dependent on object

I have a list of objects in my mainViewmodel. When selecting in the listbox, depending on the selected type, a groupbox for this type should be visible and the properties should be binded.
I am not sure how i can achive this. I tried some stuff but i dont get it worked.
Foreach type of the ISimulator i have a groupbox and when I select it in the listbox, i try to show the right groupbox and bind the properties to that.
Thanks in advance

Whenever you need dynamic data type based views you usually have to define a DataTemplate for each. Using the DataTemplate makes manual control of the GroupBox.Visibility obsolete and significantly reduces lines of code related to the related logic. See Microsoft Docs: Data Templating Overview
The following example shows how to display a dedicated GroupBox based on three imaginary ISimulator implementations: SimulatorA, SimulatorB and SimulatorC.
The associated GroupBox itself is hosted in a DataTemplate - one for each ISimulator implementation.
A ContentControl is used to render the DataTemplate. ContentControl.Comtent is bound to the SimulatorModel.Simulator property i.e. the ISimulator instance of the currently selected item of the ListBox:
<Window>
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type SimulatorA}">
<GroupBox x:Name="gb_Vehicle">
...
</GroupBox>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type SimulatorB}">
<GroupBox x:Name="gb_Traffic">
...
</GroupBox>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type SimulatorC}">
<GroupBox x:Name="gb_AddSimulator">
...
</GroupBox>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<StackPanel>
<ListBox x:Name="SimulatorList"
ItemsSource="{Binding SimulatorModels}" />
<!-- Host for the GroupBox that is rendered via DataTemplate
based on the SimulatorModel.Simulator property.
Instead of binding directly to the ListBox.SelectedItem like below,
you can bind to a MainViewModel.SelectedSimulatorModel property, which is bound to the ListBox.SelectedItem -->
<ContenControl Content="{Binding ElementName=SimulatorList, Path=SelectedItem.Simulator}" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>
You should bind the ListBox, or XAML elements in general, rather than assigning values explicitly in code-behind. Especially in an MVVM scenario where you always focus on the data models rather than on the view's elements: you only update the data model and let the framework take care of the GUI via data binding. If you have to update the source collection dynamically, make the source collection e.g., SimulatorModels of type ObservableCollectio<T>.

Need to get my enum inserted into a combobox in C#

I need help with getting the information in my enum into a combobox.
Here is the code for my enum:
namespace Arsalan_Salam_991571527_A2
{
public enum CarType
{
Odyssey,
Rouge,
Sienna,
Accord
}
}
I have found some code that was suppose to work and I tried to implement into my code to make the information inside of enum appear as shown below:
private void AddingEnumIntoComboBox(Car c)
{
foreach (var item in Enum.GetValues(typeof(CarType)))
{
carTypeInput.Items.Add(item);
}
}
But for some reason the program works fine but this code does not show the information of my enum into the combobox which is called carTypeInput. This is for a college assignment.
Here is the xaml that I used to create the UI interface:

jdweng pointed this out in their comment, but I'll expand on it and make it an answer:
The problem is that Enum.GetValues returns the values of an enum, which is a integral type (currently C# enums are more or less a fancy wrapper around a bunch of constant numbers). By default this is a int (more here). Meaning your call to Enum.GetValues(typeof(CarType)) is returning int[]. Now there are multiple ways to get the name of an enum value, I'll demonstrate two.
Convert the int back to an enum value and call ToString
foreach (var item in Enum.GetValues(typeof(CarType))
{
// This can be written as 'carTypeInput.Items.Add(((CarType) item).ToString());'
var carType = (CarType) item;
carTypeInput.Items.Add(carType.ToString());
}
Use Enum.GetName to avoid having to get an instance of CarType
foreach (var item in Enum.GetValue(typeof(CarType))
{
// This can be written as 'carTypeInput.Items.Add(Enum.GetName(typeof(CarType), item));
var carTypeName = Enum.GetName(typeof(CarType), item);
carTypeInput.Items.Add(carTypeName);
}
Why not use Enum.GetNames?
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
comboBox1.Items.AddRange(Enum.GetNames(typeof(CarType)));
}
private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string carTypeName = comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
if(carTypeName == CarType.Accord.ToString())
{
...
}
}

Set selected item in WPF ComboBox [closed]

Improve this question
(I've read similar posts but they all had a twist to them that made the solution different)
I'm porting a WinForms app that used this:
myComboBox.SetSelected(myComboBox.FindString("Some Text"), true);
to select an item programmatically. When porting over to WPF, I tried this but it has no effect (the item does not get selected):
myComboBox.SelectedItem = myComboBox.FindName("Some Text");
What is the correct way to select an existing item in a ComboBox, in WPF?
You have to use SelectedValue. In WPF ComboBox, there are multiple ways to achieve the same thing. So, one syntax to select an item programmatically won't work. There are various ways of adding items to ComboBox.
You can set ItemsSource both declaratively or in code.
You can add ComboBoxItems etc. See Items property in property window to see various item-types available.
If you are using ItemsSource with string values, then you need syntax like : cmb1.SelectedValue = "Name1"
If you are directly adding items like <ComboBox ...> <ComboBoxItem Content="Name1"/> </ComboBox/> , then you need
foreach (ComboBoxItem item in cmb2.Items)
if (item.Content.ToString() == "Name1")
{
cmb2.SelectedValue = item;
break;
}
I have posted a full working sample demonstrating how to select an item programmatically in various scenarios. Sample code (can be used as is) :
Pay attention to last one, where you have to use SelectedValuePath.

WPF Sparrow Chart

Hello i've got a problem with generating a simple chart with Sparrow Toolkit in WPF. It's my XAML
<Window x:Class="GeneratorWPF.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:sparrow="http://sparrowtoolkit.codeplex.com/wpf"

Title="Generator" Height="500" Width="1000" Loaded="button1_Click">
<Grid>
<TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="79,12,0,0" Name="textBox1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" />
<Label Content="Wariancja" Height="28" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,12,0,0" Name="label1" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
<Label Content="Średnia" Height="28" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,46,0,0" Name="label2" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
<Label Content="Przedział" Height="28" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,80,0,0" Name="label3" VerticalAlignment="Top" />

<sparrow:LinearYAxis MinValue="0" MaxValue="10" MajorTicksPosition="Cross"></sparrow:LinearYAxis>
</sparrow:SparrowChart.YAxis>
</sparrow:SparrowChart>
</Grid>
And .cs
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//float wariancja = 0;
//float srednia = 0;
//int przedzial = 0;
textBox1.Text = "asdasd";
chart.Series["as"];
var point = new Sparrow.Chart.ChartPoint();
var asss = new Sparrow.Chart.AreaSeries()
{
Points = new Point()
{
X = 1,
Y = 4
},
};
var serie = new SeriesBase();
chart.Series.Add();
}
I'm trying to create object but nothings work. Can someone help me? Can i use only cs to generate chart? I need to use bind ? I'm start with WPF and don't really know about it too much
You assign point, asss and serie but you never use them.
chart.Series["as"]; has no effect.
chart.Series.Add(); looks wrong, should that be chart.Series.Add(point);?

Datagrid not showing data in wpf with c#

I am trying to use a dataGrid in WPF with c#. But I cannot get my datagrid to show any of my data in the table when I run my program in debug mode. I have this code executing when the datagrid loads. But all I see is an empty square.
private void dataGrid1_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var items = new List<SaveTable>();
items.Add(new SaveTable("A" , 0));
items.Add(new SaveTable("B" , 0));
items.Add(new SaveTable("C" , 0));
items.Add(new SaveTable("D" , 0));
items.Add(new SaveTable("E" , 0));
var grid = sender as DataGrid;
grid.ItemsSource = items;
}
I save a class named SaveTable which looks like this:
class SaveTable
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public double Value { get; set; }
public SaveTable(string name, double value)
{
this.Name = name;
this.Value = value;
}
}
I got this code format online and it seems like everything is right? any suggestions?
here is the xaml code for that window
<Window x:Class="RobustCalculator.Storage"

<TextBlock Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="11,131,0,0" Name="textBlock5" Text="E" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
<DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" Height="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="235,130,0,0" Name="dataGrid1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="200" SelectionChanged="dataGrid1_SelectionChanged" Loaded="dataGrid1_Loaded" />
</Grid>
I added a breakpoint and the code isn't being executed. I am using the Loaded event, should I be using a different event?
Your code works fine with Loaded event but at the moment you set AutoGenerateColumns="False" and don't define columns. You need to either define columns manually
<DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" ... Loaded="dataGrid1_Loaded">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Name}" Header="Name"/>
<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Value}" Header="Value"/>
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
or let it auto generate columns
<DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="True" ... Loaded="dataGrid1_Loaded"/>
