Why isn't this binding working?
<Window x:Class="S3PackageInstaller.MainWindow" x:Name="Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

<!-- this is the binding that isn't working -->
<ListView Width="200" ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=Window1, Path=InstalledPackages}">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Installed Packages" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Filename}"></GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
<!-- snip -->
</Window>
Relevant code behind:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public ObservableCollection<object> InstalledPackages { get; private set; }
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
InstalledPackages = new ObservableCollection<object>();
LoadInstalledPackages();
}
private void LoadInstalledPackages()
{
var installPath = Settings.Default.TargetDirectory;
var packages = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(installPath, "*.package");
InstalledPackages.Clear();
foreach (string filename in packages)
InstalledPackages.Add(new { Filename = filename });
}
// snip...
}
When I run the program, the ListView is empty. When debugging, I have verified that the collection contains items after LoadInstalledPackages is run.
I think the problem is that while your collection property is an ObservableCollection, so will notify of collection changes, the property itself does not raise a change notification when you first assign to it. When you create your window as follows:
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
InstalledPackages = new ObservableCollection<object>();
LoadInstalledPackages();
}
When InitializeComponent is invoked your UI is created and bindings constructed. At this point InstalledPackages is null. In the next line you create your collection, but because InstalledPackages does not raise a PropertyChanged event, your binding is not updated.
Either implement INotifyPropertyChanged, or assign the ObservableCollection to this property before invoking InitializeComponent.

I have been doing development work in WPF application which uses an MVVM pattern for a couple of days now. I'm very new to WPF and MVVM pattern as well.
In my scenario, I have a user control view (named EPayView.xaml) which has a textbox that will accept a phone number. The view has a corresponding viewmodel (named EPayViewModel.cs). In the MainWindow.xaml, I have a user control (floating virtual keyboard) which is derived from namespace controls WpfKb.Controls. The MainWindow.xaml also has a corresponding viewmodel (named MainViewModel.cs)
Having said that, I have done research on how to use attached dependency properties which lead me to this solution. Set focus on textbox in WPF from view model (C#) which I believe this is where I could bind the property IsFocused in the textbox of EPayView.xaml.
Below are the codes that I have already incorporated in my solution.
EpayView.xaml (textbox xaml markup)
<TextBox Text="{Binding PhoneNo}" Grid.Row="5" Margin="10,0,10,0" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" FontSize="12" x:Name="Email" behaviors:FocusExtension.IsFocused="{Binding IsFocused, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
MainWindow.xaml (xaml markup)
<Window x:Class="SmartPole540.View.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:WpfKb.Controls;assembly=SmartPole.WpfKb"
xmlns:wpf="clr-namespace:WebEye.Controls.Wpf;assembly=WebEye.Controls.Wpf.WebCameraControl"
xmlns:utilities="clr-namespace:SoltaLabs.Avalon.Core.Utilities;assembly=SoltaLabs.Avalon.Core"
xmlns:userControls="clr-namespace:SoltaLabs.Avalon.View.Core.UserControls;assembly=SoltaLabs.Avalon.View.Core"
xmlns:square="clr-namespace:SmartPole.View.Square;assembly=SmartPole.View"
xmlns:view="clr-namespace:SmartPole.View;assembly=SmartPole.View"
Title="CitiPulse"
WindowStartupLocation="Manual"
PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown="Window_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown"
Name="mainWindow">
<userControls:RollPanel.BottomContent>
<square:SquareView Canvas.Top="1010" DataContext="{Binding DataContext.SquareViewModel,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type userControls:RollPanel}}}"/>
</userControls:RollPanel.BottomContent>
<controls:FloatingTouchScreenKeyboard
x:Name="floatKb" Width="500" Height="250" PlacementTarget="{Binding ElementName=MainGrid}"
Placement="Center" AreAnimationsEnabled="False" Visibility="Visible"
IsOpen="{Binding IsChecked, ElementName=kbButton}"/>
</Window>
In the above code, the user control RollPanel.BottomContent host the EPayView.xaml view inside another view which is RollPanel.xaml
EpayViewModel.cs contains the static class FocusExtension for the IsFocused attached property (refer to this solution - Set focus on textbox in WPF from view model (C#)). And, EPayViewModel.cs already implemented INotifyPropertyChanged which is wrapped inside a concrete class ObservableObject that accepts type of T. This is also same with MainViewModel.cs
public class EPayViewModel : ObservableObject<EPayViewModel>, IPaymentViewModel, IActiveViewModel
{ ... }
public class MainViewModel : ObservableObject<MainViewModel>
{ ... }
As such, my goal is that when the textbox in EPayView.xaml has the focus, the floating virtual keyboard (floatKb) in the MainWindow.xaml will be shown.
I'm stuck on how to proceed (I was thinking if a call to FocusExtension static class in EPayViewModel inside my MainViewModel.cs will suffice?), any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
As AnjumSKhan already said, to react to some event in a MVVM way, you'll have to use Command. Command can be called within an EventTrigger, you will need to add a Reference to System.Windows.Interactvity component.
Let's assume you have a simple View and View Model and you need to show this View when the TextBox in a MainWindow got focus.
View (NewWindow.xaml)
<Window x:Class="My.NewWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="NewWindow" Height="300" Width="300">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Message}"/>
View Model
public class NewWindowViewModel
{
private string _message;
public string Message
{
get { return _message; }
set { _message = value; }
}
}
You also have a MainWindow, it is a main view for an app and it contains the target TextBox. You may see that there is an EventTrigger added to the TextBox and it has a property InvokeCommandAction which is binded to the MainWindowViewModel's command called ShowCommand.
Main Window
<Window x:Class="My.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:Interactivity="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Interactivity;assembly=System.Windows.Interactivity" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<TextBox Height="40" Text="{Binding Text}">
<Interactivity:Interaction.Triggers>
<Interactivity:EventTrigger EventName="GotFocus">
<Interactivity:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding ShowCommand}"/>
</Interactivity:EventTrigger>
</Interactivity:Interaction.Triggers>
</TextBox>
In the Show method of MainWindowViewModel NewWindow view is created and got new NewWindowViewModel instance as a DataContext. RelayCommand class is presented in my answer to this question
MainWindowViewModel
public class MainWindowViewModel
{
private string _text;
public string Text
{
get { return _text; }
set { _text = value; }
}
private ICommand _increaseCommand;
public ICommand ShowCommand
{
get
{
if (_increaseCommand == null)
{
_increaseCommand = new RelayCommand(
p => true,
Show);
}
return _increaseCommand;
}
}
private void Show(object obj)
{
var w = new NewWindow();
var nvm = new NewWindowViewModel();
nvm.Message = "Test";
w.DataContext = nvm;
w.Show();
}
}
What is left is to create a new MainWindowViewModel and setup a DataContext for MainWindow.
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
var mvm = new MainWindowViewModel();
mvm.Text = "Focus me!";
DataContext = mvm;
}
Hope it will help.
Is it the intended behavior that a binding to a collection automatically uses the first item as source?
Example Xaml:
<Window x:Class="ListSelection.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ColContent}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ItemContent}" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>
and Code:
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows;
namespace ListSelection
{
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = new MyCol("col 1")
{
new MyItem("item 1"),
new MyItem("item 2")
};
}
}
public class MyItem
{
public string ItemContent { get; set; }
public MyItem(string content)
{
ItemContent = content;
}
}
public class MyCol : List<MyItem>
{
public string ColContent { get; set; }
public MyCol(string content)
{
ColContent = content;
}
}
}
The UI shows up with:
col 1
item 1
The second binding took implicitly the first collection item as source! So bug, feature or intended?
EDIT: .net 4.5, VS2012, corrections
EDIT 2:
I further investigated the problem together with a mate and got closer to the solution:
<Window x:Class="ListSelection.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<StackPanel>
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding}" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ItemContent}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ItemContent}" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>
The - lets call it - magic binding seems to exist for master detail views. By default any collection that is bound gets a CollectionView - which provides a selected item property (and other cool stuff like sorting). This selected item can be used shortcutted for the detailed view. If the IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem is set to true the shortcutted binding reacts to changed selections. The problem in the whole thing: the selected item of the CollectionView is alway set to the first item which leads to the magic binding... I would call that a bug and it should only work explicitly, e.g. by binding the collection to a Selector with the IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem set.
This should be an extremely simple solution, but searching through the internet there seems to be multiple different ways to do binding and NONE seem to actually work.
I've created a simple application with a button, textbox and listbox. The user adds text to the textbox, clicks Add and I want the text to appear in the list box. Note that the Add button will create a Person with the firstname the text in the textbox and the last name "Jones". This is just to figure out how to get binding to actually work. I have the ObservableCollection but can't seem to even figure out how to put in the resource to the object within the class itself. Is this even possible? do I have to create a separate class to have a binding?
Here is the complete XMAL
<UserControl x:Class="simpleBinding.MainPage"

<ListBox Name="_list" Canvas.Left="18" Canvas.Top="41" Height="98" Width="190" />
</Canvas>
and here is the complete Code behind
namespace simpleBinding
{
public partial class MainPage : UserControl
{
public ObservableCollection<Person> PersonList = new ObservableCollection<Person> ();
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void OnAdd(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
PersonList.Add(new Person(_tb.Text, "Jones"));
}
}
public class Person
{
public string FirstName {private set; get;}
public string LastName {private set; get; }
public Person(string fName, string lName)
{
FirstName = fName;
LastName = lName;
}
}
}
thanks for any help,

To illustrate Ravuthasamy's & aqwert's comments. You have to set a DataContext first. You can set this in DataContext or read how MVVM work (It's a good Silvelight binding pattern) :
c#
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = this;
}
After you can bind the class properties to elements :
Xaml
<ListBox
ItemsSource="{Binding PersonList}"
Canvas.Left="18"
Canvas.Top="41"
Height="98"
Width="190" />
Following the timeline you can see that this has taken me a week to finally get to a solution. I post it here now in hopes that someone else won't waste this much time. There seems to be a lot of posts about how to deal with this issue and the examples are limited. They either show only C# or Xaml. Then CollectionChanged and PropertyChanged aren't dealt with in a single example.
This is a simple example, that implements both collection changed and property changed. As well as binding in Xaml
Here is the Xaml.
<UserControl x:Class="simpleBinding.MainPage"

<TextBox Name="_tb" Canvas.Left="12" Canvas.Top="4" Height="24" Width="72"></TextBox>
<ListBox Name="_list" Canvas.Left="18" Canvas.Top="41" Height="98" Width="190" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource myDataSource}}" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=LastName}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Canvas>
Add a xmlns that will reference your code behind. In this case my namespace is xmlns:src then you can use VS intellisense to go to the correct class.
Add a resource to the layoutRoot item. In my case I'm using a canvas, but it could be Grid or Stackpanel etc.
With the resource declared, you can now set the ItemSource binding in the ListBox.
I've chosen to use a template to display the data which I think is really cool (best part of Xaml!) In this case there are two textBlocks but if my underlying data source had an image, I could have used this was well to graphically display the data. The binding for each textbox can be set because the exposed properties of the object are declared in the C# code. Which will be discussed next
C# Code behind
namespace simpleBinding
{
public partial class MainPage : UserControl
{
public PersonList m_pList = new PersonList();
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
_list.ItemsSource = m_pList;
m_pList.Add(new Person("John", "Doe"));
}
private void OnAdd(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
m_pList.Add(new Person("Jones", _tb.Text));
}
private void OnEdit(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
m_pList[1].FirstName = _tb.Text;
}
}
public class PersonList : ObservableCollection<Person> , INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public PersonList() : base() // need to call base on intialization otherwise the binded resource is not updated.
{
Add(new Person("Willa", "Cather"));
Add(new Person("Isak", "Dinesen"));
Add(new Person("Victor", "Hugo"));
Add(new Person("Jules", "Verne"));
}
}
public class Person : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private string _fName;
private string _lName;
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public string FirstName
{
set
{
_fName = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged("FirstName");
}
get
{
return _fName;
}
}
public string LastName
{
set
{
_lName = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged("LastName");
}
get
{
return _lName;
}
}
public Person(string fName, string lName) : base()
{
FirstName = fName;
LastName = lName;
}
public override string ToString()
{
return String.Format("{0} {1}", FirstName, LastName);
}
private void NotifyPropertyChanged(String propertyName = "")
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
}
}
I've chosen to use the ObservableCollection because it implements INotifyCollectionChanged. The public variable is exposed which allows you to bind to the resource declared in the Xaml. (Better code, make the var private and have a property that exposes the variable through a get!)
The ListBox _List needs to have its ItemsSource property set in Code Behind!!! without this whenever you change the list (add, delete etc) the UI is not updated. AND in fact you do not need the binding in the ListBox at all because we set the source in Code behind it is nice however in that in the designer with this bound control you can see that the binding is working because there are four names added when instantiating the PersonList.
The ObservableCollection needs to have the INotifyCollectionChanged added. Without this, when a property is changed the UI is NOT changed.
The properties that are to be exposed to the UI need to be implement in the object that is contained within the ObservableCollection (in my case the class Person exposed both FirstName and LastName) and then these properties can be bound in the Xaml (see the textBlocks's)
INotifyPropertyChanged requires that you implement a PropertyChanged event i.e. public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
To actually fire that event the "Person" object needs to implement code to do that, which in my case is the NotifyPropertyChanged Method. Each time a property is set, I call this method, which in turn looks to see is the PropertyChanged event is not null, and if not, then it raises that event.
Here is the key to property changes, without adding the , INotifyPropertyChanged to the Observable collection PropertyChanged is null.
Hope this helps someone
I have a ComboBox on a silverlight control, that I want to bind. Sounds simple, except what I'm finding is that because the data for the ItemsSource comes from a web service asynchronously, I need to use the code behind to bind the SelectedValue only after the data has come back.
The collection that the data goes in implements INotifyCollectionChanged and INotifyPropertyChanged, so it should all be working, and indeed the combo box loads properly, but there is no value pre-selected.
What I think is happening is that the SelectedValue is getting bound before the collection has loaded - when the combobox is empty - so nothing is selected, and then later when the data comes in, the combobox is populated, but it is not checking the selected value again.
So whilst I have this working if I use code behind to hook up events and creating bindings in code, I'd like to move this all to XAML with something like:
<ComboBox HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="5,3,9,127" Name="cboCategoryID" Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="1"
ItemsSource="{StaticResource Categories}"
SelectedValue="{Binding CategoryID, Mode=TwoWay, NotifyOnValidationError=True, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}"
SelectedValuePath="CategoryID"
DisplayMemberPath="Caption"
VerticalAlignment="Center">
</ComboBox>
This correctly loads items, but doesn't bind the selected value. If I put the following code in the code-behind, it all works:
public MainControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
CategoryCollection cats = new CategoryCollection();
cats.Dispatcher = this.Dispatcher;
cats.LoadComplete += new EventHandler(cats_LoadComplete);
cboCategoryID.ItemsSource = cats;
cats.LoadAll();
}
private void cats_LoadComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
cboCategoryID.SetBinding(ComboBox.SelectedValueProperty, new System.Windows.Data.Binding("CategoryID"));
}
Is there a way to do this without resorting to code behind?
Are you using mvvm? If so, you can try to set the ItemsSource and SelectedItem in the callback of the web service, or take a look at this post from Kyle.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kylemc/archive/2010/06/18/combobox-sample-for-ria-services.aspx
you are already using a collection that notifies of changes, so if the value that you are binding the SelectedValue to is notifying of changes, then all you have to do is set that property after the values are loaded from the webservice. it SHOULD update the combobox automatically, allowing you to do your binding purely in xaml.
public myObject CategoryID { get {....}
set {
this.categoryID = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("CategoryID");}
public void DataLoadedHandler()
{
CategoryID = 34; // this will cause the binding to update
}
take a look at this simple sample:
XAML:
<UserControl
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

</sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
</sdk:DataGrid>-->
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding MyList}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}" Height="50" VerticalAlignment="Top" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource Item}" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Codebehind:
public partial class MainPage : UserControl, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private ObservableCollection _myList;
private CustomClass _selectedItem;
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public ObservableCollection<CustomClass> MyList
{
get { return _myList ?? (_myList = new ObservableCollection<CustomClass>()); }
set
{
_myList = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("MyList");
}
}
public CustomClass SelectedItem
{
get { return _selectedItem; }
set
{
_selectedItem = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("SelectedItem");
}
}
protected void RaisePropertyChanged(string propertyname)
{
var handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyname));
}
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = this;
MyList.Add(new CustomClass() { PropertyToBeWatched = "1"});
MyList.Add(new CustomClass() { PropertyToBeWatched = "2" });
MyList.Add(new CustomClass() { PropertyToBeWatched = "2" });
MyList.Add(new CustomClass() { PropertyToBeWatched = "2" });
SelectedItem = MyList[1]; //Here is where it happens
}
}
By binding the SelectedItem of the ComboBox to an entity, we can achieve what you want. This works TwoWay ofcourse.
Hope this helps. :D
I am binding a list of urls to a ListBox (MVVM) and found that if the model is a string[] everything works fine but if it's a List<Uri> then no items are displayed in my ListBox. I assume this is because WPF doesn't know how to convert a Uri into a string but
I'd figure it would just call ToString() which is what I want
I don't know how to tell WPF how to do the right thing
Here's my XAML:
<ListBox Height="200" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=UrlsFound, Mode=OneWay}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="String">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Now as long as UrlsFound is a string[] the binding works, but if I refactor to make it a List<Uri> nothing is displayed in the ListBox. I changed the DataType="String" to "Uri" but that didn't help
There must be something else wrong as I've copied your XAML and it works.
Here's my code-behind:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
urlsFound.Add(new Uri("http://www.google.com"));
urlsFound.Add(new Uri("http://www.google.com"));
urlsFound.Add(new Uri("http://www.google.com"));
this.DataContext = this;
}
private List<Uri> urlsFound=new List<Uri>();
public List<Uri> UrlsFound
{
get { return urlsFound; }
set { urlsFound = value; }
}
}
