Combobox and IDataErrorInfo - wpf

This is my problem.
When I select an item from the combobox, (combobox is populated) I have always red outline.
Why ?
<ComboBox x:Name="Cmb_USER"
TabIndex="5"
ItemsSource="{Binding User_USER,
ValidatesOnExceptions=True,
ValidatesOnDataErrors=True,NotifyOnValidationError=True}"
IsEditable="True"
DisplayMemberPath ="DescUser"
Text="{Binding Path=USER}" Margin="114,105,98,179"/>
Public Property User_USER As ObservableCollection(Of Model_User)
Private p_USER As String
Public Property USER() As String
Get
Return p_USER
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
p_USER = value
OnPropertyChanged("USER")
End Set
End Property
#Region "IDataErrorInfo Members"
Public ReadOnly Property [Error]() As String Implements System.ComponentModel.IDataErrorInfo.Error
Get
Return Nothing
End Get
End Property
Default Public ReadOnly Property Item(ByVal Name As String) As String Implements System.ComponentModel.IDataErrorInfo.Item
Get
Dim result As String = Nothing
Select Case Name
Case "User_USER"
If USER = "" Then
result = "ERROR"
End If
End Select
Return result
End Get
End Property
#End Region

Solved ..
This is the solution
Public Property USER() As String
Get
Return p_USER
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
p_USER = value
OnPropertyChanged("USER")
OnPropertyChanged("User_USER")
End Set
End Property

Why is my data binding not working? (WPF/vb.net)

I want to bind each property of my class "Artikelstammdaten" to a textbox, but my textbox stays empty. This is what the class looks like:
Public Class Artikelstammdaten

I'm using a ViewModel where i implement the INotifyChanged Interface:
Public Class ArtikelstammdatenViewModel
Implements INotifyPropertyChanged
Private _ArtikelstammdatenList As List(Of Artikelstammdaten)
Public Event PropertyChanged As PropertyChangedEventHandler Implements INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged
Public Property ArtikelstammdatenList As List(Of Artikelstammdaten)
Get
Return _ArtikelstammdatenList
End Get
Set
_ArtikelstammdatenList = Value
NotifyPropertyChanged("ArtikelstammdatenList")
End Set
End Property
Private Sub NotifyPropertyChanged(ByVal info As String)
RaiseEvent PropertyChanged(Me, New PropertyChangedEventArgs(info))
End Sub
End Class
I'm initializing an object in the MainWindow and fill it with data, which should bind to "EditArtikelstammdaten.xaml"
Dim asd As New Artikelstammdaten
With asd
.Artikel = "VAUBEF0010"
.BezeichnungDE = "Sammelbandantrieb"
.BezeichnungEN = "Collection Belt Drive N50"
.Einheit = "STK"
.MatGrp = "VAU"
.Kostenart = 1500
.Vertriebstext_DE = "Antrieb Umlenkungen"
.Vertriebstext_EN = "Drive, Deflections"
.Stuecklistennummer = "VAUBEF0010"
.Status = "F"
.Klasse = "VTPIMV"
.Mantelflaeche = 1.3
.Gewicht = 120
.KlasseID = "1.2.6.5"
End With
I used "Artikelstammdaten" as DataContext and finally bind each Property to the text Properites.
<Window.DataContext>
<local:Artikelstammdaten></local:Artikelstammdaten>
</Window.DataContext>
<TextBox x:Name="txtItem"
Text="{Binding Artikel}"
Grid.Column="2"
Grid.Row="1"
Margin="0, 5, 0, 8"
FontSize="13"
></TextBox>
What am i missing or doing wrong? Thank you for your time!

WPF Radgridview with ObservableCollection and INotifyPropertyChanged

Despite the many online tutorials, I still do not quite understand how this is supposed to work. I have a radgridview where the user can enter an address per row. I want them to enter the zip code first. The city and state will be supplied from a database matching the zip code. So the radgridview must be updated as soon as the zip code is entered.
It appears that using INotifyProperty is the way to go. I can get the collection to update but cannot get the datagrid to update.
View Model:
Public Class ShipTo
Implements INotifyPropertyChanged
Public Event PropertyChanged As PropertyChangedEventHandler Implements INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged
Private Sub NotifyPropertyChanged(ByVal info As String)
RaiseEvent PropertyChanged(Me, New PropertyChangedEventArgs(info))
End Sub
Public Property shipAddressType As String = String.Empty
Public Property orderID As String = String.Empty
Public Property shipName As String = String.Empty
Public Property shipAddr1 As String = String.Empty
Public Property shipAddr2 As String = String.Empty
Private _shipCity As String
Public Property shipCity As String
Get
Return _shipCity
End Get
Set(value As String)
_shipCity = value
NotifyPropertyChanged("shipZip")
End Set
End Property
Private _shipState As String
Public Property shipState As String
Get
Return _shipState
End Get
Set(value As String)
_shipState = value
NotifyPropertyChanged("shipZip")
End Set
End Property
Public Property shipZip As String = String.Empty
Code to find City and State:
Dim shipCS As New ShipTo
shipCS.shipCity = GetCityAndState.CityLookup(CStr(CType(dgShippingAddresses.SelectedItem, ShipTo).shipZip))
shipCS.shipState = GetCityAndState.StateLookup(CStr(CType(dgShippingAddresses.SelectedItem, ShipTo).shipZip))
XAML:
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I finally got this to work well. For anyone else who is struggling here is my solution:
Private _shipSelected As Boolean
Public Property shipSelected As Boolean
Get
Return _shipSelected
End Get
Set(value As Boolean)
_shipSelected = value
NotifyPropertyChanged("shipSelected")
End Set
End Property
Public Property shipAddressType As String = String.Empty
Public Property orderID As String = String.Empty
Public Property shipName As String = String.Empty
Public Property shipAddr1 As String = String.Empty
Public Property shipAddr2 As String = String.Empty
Private _shipCity As String
Public Property shipCity As String
Get
Return _shipCity
End Get
Set(value As String)
_shipCity = value
NotifyPropertyChanged("shipCity")
End Set
End Property
Private _shipState As String
Public Property shipState As String
Get
Return _shipState
End Get
Set(value As String)
_shipState = value
NotifyPropertyChanged("shipState")
End Set
End Property
Private _shipZip As String
Public Property shipZip As String
Get
Return _shipZip
End Get
Set(value As String)
_shipZip = value
shipCity = GetCityAndState.CityLookup(_shipZip)
shipState = GetCityAndState.StateLookup(_shipZip)
NotifyPropertyChanged("shipZip")
End Set
End Property
Now when the zip is entered in the datagrid, the city and state automatically update.

Wpf DataGridTemplateColumn ComboBox displayed text after selected an item

I have a datagrid that uses a DataGridTemplateColumn and in the CellEditingTemplate a combobox. Everything works okay until a value is selected. I've spent a ton of time trying to figure out how to make this work. Basically a user selects a text item (Display Text) from the combobox, the value needed for the database is stored as the selected value, and the user only ever sees the display text. The way it behaves now is the user only sees the display text when opening the combobox to select an item. But after the item is selected the selected value is shown. Below is my xaml and vb code and screen shots.
Selecting an item from the combobox shows the display text, which is good.
After the user selects an item, instead of the display text being shown, the selected value is; which is what i don't want.

You observe DispositionID in the Disposition column, cause you have CellTemplate with txtDisposition that displayed this.
To display DefectDesc you can add ValueConverter to the txtDisposition binding that converts id to DefectDesc.
Or you can add DefectDesc property in QC class for displaying that description. And you should add code in the DispositionID property setter, that updates DefectDesc. And change txtDisposition binding to DefectDesc.

CellTemplateSelector for .NET 3.5 DataGrid is passed DataRowView and not cell contents

I am using the DataGrid that comes in the WpfToolkit for .NET 3.5. I am displaying DataTable. I want negative amounts to be red. The number of columns is variable so AutoGenerateColumns is True.
Following the advice here http://wpftutorial.net/DataGrid.html I have done the following. However whenever TemplateSelector is called item is a DataRowView and not cell contents. How can I reference the cell contents??
Public Class AmountDataGrid
Inherits Microsoft.Windows.Controls.DataGrid
Public Property CellTemplateSelector() As DataTemplateSelector
Get
Return DirectCast(GetValue(CellTemplateSelectorProperty), DataTemplateSelector)
End Get
Set(value As DataTemplateSelector)
SetValue(CellTemplateSelectorProperty, value)
End Set
End Property
Public Shared ReadOnly CellTemplateSelectorProperty As DependencyProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Selector", GetType(DataTemplateSelector), GetType(AmountDataGrid), New FrameworkPropertyMetadata(Nothing))
Protected Overrides Sub OnAutoGeneratingColumn(e As Microsoft.Windows.Controls.DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs)
e.Cancel = True
Columns.Add(New Microsoft.Windows.Controls.DataGridTemplateColumn() With {.Header = e.Column.Header, .CellTemplateSelector = CellTemplateSelector})
End Sub
End Class
DataGrid in XAML
<l:AmountDataGrid x:Name="dgMonths" Style="{StaticResource MonthsView}" CellTemplateSelector="{StaticResource TemplateSelector}"/>

Set(value As DataTemplate)
_defaultTemplate = value
End Set
End Property
Public Overrides Function SelectTemplate(item As Object, container As System.Windows.DependencyObject) As DataTemplate
Return Me.DefaultTemplate
End Function
End Class
Code that binds the DataTable
strSelect = "TRANSFORM Format(Sum(Items.amount),'#,##0.00') AS total SELECT Accounts.accCategory, Accounts.ID, Accounts.comment AS Account FROM Accounts INNER JOIN Items ON Accounts.ID = Items.accFrom WHERE (((Year([idate]))=2013) AND ((Items.category)<>3 Or (Items.category) Is Null) AND ((Accounts.accCategory)=6 OR (Accounts.accCategory)=7) AND ((Accounts.curr)=1)) GROUP BY Accounts.accCategory, Accounts.ID, Accounts.comment PIVOT Format(idate,'mmm') IN ('Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr', 'May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec')"
dsmcmd = New OleDbDataAdapter(strSelect, cn)
dsmcmd.Fill(dsm, "Totals")
dgMonths.ItemsSource = dsm.Tables("Totals").DefaultView

Figured it out.... rather complicated for something that should really be simple!

Databinding to individual properties of the main Dataobject

This is my ViewModel Code:
vb:
Public Property Doctor() As Doctor
Get
Return _objDoctor
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Doctor)
_objDoctor = Value
OnPropertyChanged("Doctor")
End Set
End Property
Public Property AddDate() As Nullable(Of DateTime)
Get
Return _objDoctor.AddDate
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Nullable(Of DateTime))
_objDoctor.AddDate = Value
OnPropertyChanged("Doctor")
End Set
End Property
Public Property AddUserID() As String
Get
Return _objDoctor.AddUserID
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
_objDoctor.AddUserID = Value
OnPropertyChanged("Doctor")
End Set
End Property
Public Property ChangeDate() As Nullable(Of DateTime)
Get
Return _objDoctor.ChangeDate
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Nullable(Of DateTime))
_objDoctor.ChangeDate = Value
OnPropertyChanged("Doctor")
End Set
End Property
Public Property ChangeUserID() As String
Get
Return _objDoctor.ChangeUserID
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
_objDoctor.ChangeUserID = Value
OnPropertyChanged("Doctor")
End Set
End Property
Public Property CollaboratingPhysicianID() As Nullable(Of Int64)
Get
Return _objDoctor.CollaboratingPhysicianID
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Nullable(Of Int64))
_objDoctor.CollaboratingPhysicianID = Value
OnPropertyChanged("Doctor")
End Set
End Property
Public Property CredentialsID() As Int64
Get
Return _objDoctor.CredentialsID
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Int64)
_objDoctor.CredentialsID = Value
OnPropertyChanged("Doctor")
End Set
End Property
Public Property DisplayName() As String
Get
Return _objDoctor.DisplayName
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
_objDoctor.DisplayName = Value
OnPropertyChanged("Doctor")
End Set
End Property
Public Property DoctorSpecialtyID() As Int64
Get
Return _objDoctor.DoctorSpecialtyID
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Int64)
_objDoctor.DoctorSpecialtyID = Value
OnPropertyChanged("Doctor")
End Set
End Property
Public Property FirstName() As String
Get
Return _objDoctor.FirstName
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
_objDoctor.FirstName = Value
OnPropertyChanged("Doctor")
End Set
End Property
Public Property ID() As Int64
Get
Return _objDoctor.ID
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Int64)
_objDoctor.ID = Value
OnPropertyChanged("Doctor")
End Set
End Property
Public Property LastName() As String
Get
Return _objDoctor.LastName
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
_objDoctor.LastName = Value
OnPropertyChanged("LastName")
End Set
End Property
Here is on example of XAML that I could use:
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="{Binding LastName}" />
<TextBox Text="{Binding Doctor.LastName}" />
</StackPanel>
I would really prefer to bind to my data as the first textbox is so that I can do validation on changes. (if there is a way to do validation with the second way someone please let me know)
The problem is this:
If I load the doctor in the new constructor of the viewmodel as such:
Public Sub New()
If IsInDesignMode Then
Else
CreateEventSubscriptions()
End If
Me.Doctor = DoctorService.GetDoctor(4839)
End Sub
The Databinding works correctly the first time. But if I try to change the associated doctor with an Event, only the doctor.lastname binding works.
Private Sub onEdit(ByVal d As Doctor)
Me.Doctor = DoctorService.GetDoctor(d)
End Sub
I know I dont need to load a doctor from my service because I am actually passing the doctor...I was trying to see if there was something magical about using a service to fill the propery.
I got the code for my viewmodel properties using Karl Shifflet's XAML PowerToys. Knowing that Karl knows what he is doing I am not sure why I cant get this to work....hopefully it is something silly I am missing.
I believe if you change the doctor during an event, you should also call:
OnPropertyChanged("LastName")
Otherwise I don't think the binding code has any way of knowing the LastName property has been updated.
