The only really remarkable thing about an ObservableCollection is that it implements INotifyCollectionChanged. This interface contains a CollectionChanged event when the number of items in the collection is changed somehow. When WPF sees that an item it is binding to implements this interface, it knows that it can listen to this event.

Okay, so that's the ObservableCollection. Why did I bring it up? Well, that's because the collection changing is taken care of for you by a custom collection. Property changes, on the other hand, aren't handled automatically for you. When you think about it, you can see why this is desirable. Would you really want WPF to be listening for changes on every property you've bound it to, even if those properties are straightforward primitives. Implementing automatic change binding on these would put a tremendous strain on your application because you would potentially be wiring up many items that you don't want to. So, how do you do property change notification? Well, in just the same way you have INotifyCollectionChanged, there's a property change interface that WPF understands called INotifyPropertyChanged. This interface has a PropertyChanged event that you raise to tell WPF that a particular item has changed (by passing the name of the item that changed, or an empty string if you want WPF to refresh all properties).

Now, if you've heard of MVVM, you're probably aware of a concept called a ViewModel. The ViewModel is intended to isolate the View from the Model. It's a common implementation pattern that has a BaseViewModel class that handles the INotifyPropertyChanged (often abbreviated to INPC). So, the base VM would look something like this:

public abstract class BaseViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
  protected void NotifyOfChange(string property)
  {
    PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
    if (handler == null) return;
    handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
  }

  public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}

So, your derived VM would possibly look something like this:

public class MyViewModel : BaseViewModel
{
  private int _onlineCount;

  public int OnlineCount
  {
    get { return _onlineCount; }
    set
    {
      if (_onlineCount == value) return;
      _onlnieCount = value;
      NotifyOfChange("OnlineCount");
    }
  }
}

No.

Without seeing any of your code, it's difficult to see what the issue is.

How to display from nested usercontrol another usercontrol class on button click event?

Hello everyone

In my WPF project I have created a UserControl (this is called Applic.xaml), and within this usercontrol I have placed a nested UserControl (this is called PasswordScreen.xaml). Here is the xaml design code of Applic.xaml usercontrol:

XML

<UserControl xmlns:my2="clr-namespace:iPosCloud.com.iposcloud.uiC_.views"
             x:Class="iPosCloud.com.iposcloud.main.Applic"

            </Grid>
        
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

In PasswordScreen.xaml usercontrol there is a button (called Login). On the click event when clicked, I want to call another xmal file called SwitchboardView.xaml and display it within the (Applic.xaml usercontrol) but it is not firing nothing and the code behind this button is:

private void btnLogin_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
            SwitchboardView sbv = new SwitchboardView();
            
            Applic ap = new Applic();
            ap.MainGridApplic.Children.Add(sbv);    
}

Could someone please help me solve this problem with the sample of code (what am I doing wrong...)

Well, a few years ago, this really great guy called David Silverlight ran community sites for.NET developers. One day, he was invited to spend some time with Bill Gates who said he wanted to name a product after him to thank him for his work in the online.NET community. Fortunately they chose to use his second name.

You are treating this like a winforms application, STOP. Do some reading on MVVM and data binding if you wish to continue using WPF or actually use winforms.

WPF Combo Box SelectedValue = null issue

Mhister Pamakwas25-Jun-14 11:54

Mhister Pamakwas

25-Jun-14 11:54

I got a combo box in wpf form I set the ItemSource to the collection of Dictionary of (Pet Type) and just display the Value and hid the Key

public void BindComboBoxes()
        {
            this.cboTypes.ItemsSource = new    BindingSource(CommonMgr.GetPetTypesDropDown(false), null);
            this.cboTypes.DisplayMemberPath = "Value";
            this.cboTypes.SelectedValuePath = "Key";
        }

Then whenever I type to encode a new Breed Object, and type a text in the cboTypes of something that doesn't exist in its items(not in the db), my program will ask if the end user wants to add that new PetType in the db, if yes, then it will do so.

Then i update the cboTypes using the BindComboBoxes method again, set the cboTypes.Text into the new item and assign the Key to the designated field, but the problem is, it says, it was null. it worked fine in the windows form though. Here's my code:

public Breed GetPageEntity()
        {
            Breed setEntity = new Breed();
            bool doesExist = false;
            setEntity.Id = DefaultValue.GetInt(this.txtId.Text);
            setEntity.BreedName = DefaultValue.GetString(this.txtName.Text);


            try
            {
                setEntity.PetTypeId = DefaultValue.GetInt(this.cboTypes.SelectedValue.ToString());
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                var addAnother = MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0}: This type is not in the database. \nAdd {0} to the database?",
                    this.cboTypes.Text), "Pet Type Cannot Be Found", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel);

                if (addAnother == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
                {
                    petTypeMgr.Entity = this.PetTypeAdder(cboTypes.Text);
                    string temp = this.cboTypes.Text;
                    petTypeMgr.Insert((petTypeMgr.Entity), fUser.Entity.Id, ref doesExist);
                    //cboTypes.ItemsSource = null;
                    //cboTypes.Items.Clear();
                    BindComboBoxes();
                    cboTypes.Text = temp;

//SelectedValue became null
                    setEntity.PetTypeId = DefaultValue.GetInt(this.cboTypes.SelectedValue);
                }

            }

            setEntity.Description = DefaultValue.GetString(this.txtDescription.Text);
            setEntity.SortOrder = DefaultValue.GetInt(txtSortOrder.Text);
            setEntity.StatusId = true;
            return setEntity;
        }

I don't recognise the binding method but your combo does not have a selected record, you do not set the mode to TwoWay and you should not be setting the text but putting the value into the selected record and letting the binding update the UI.

For starters you're not modifying the existing Applic UserControl.
You are creating a new one and setting the SwitchboardView into that UserControl.
Then you're dropping them both on the floor!

A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

Async method using RenderTargetBitmap and BitmapEncoder

FlurryKnox18-Jun-14 21:40

FlurryKnox

18-Jun-14 21:40

Hello

I am playing around with the async and await keywords using .net4.5 and windows 7.

The problem is that I would like to use RenderTargetBitmap and System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapEncoder to capture a UI element and return a System.Drawing.Bitmap.

The following is some test code. The problem is that it does a lot of work synchronously (e.g. using FileStream and BitmapEnocder).

For this reason, the UI blocks most of the time e.g. the UI is non-responsive.

I was hoping some of the more experienced programmers here could advise me on where I have gone wrong or how best to proceed with this function?

Many thanks for your time....

private async Task<System.Drawing.Bitmap> GetCaptureBitmap(CaptureFrame captureFrame)
       {
           VisualBrush brush = new VisualBrush(captureFrame);

           brush.Stretch = Stretch.Fill;
           brush.AlignmentX = AlignmentX.Left;
           brush.AlignmentY = AlignmentY.Top;
           brush.TileMode = TileMode.None;

           Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
           rect.Width = Settings.Instance.Capture.Width;
           rect.Height = Settings.Instance.Capture.Height;
           rect.Fill = brush;

           rect.Measure(new Size(rect.Width, rect.Height));
           rect.Arrange(new Rect(0, 0, rect.Width, rect.Height));

           System.Windows.Media.Imaging.RenderTargetBitmap bmp = new System.Windows.Media.Imaging.RenderTargetBitmap((int)rect.Width, (int)rect.Height, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Pbgra32);

           bmp.Render(rect);

           FileStream stream = new FileStream(System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName(), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.Read, 4096, FileOptions.DeleteOnClose);
           System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapEncoder encoder = new System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BmpBitmapEncoder();
           encoder.Frames.Add(System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapFrame.Create(bmp));
           encoder.Save(stream);
           stream.Flush();

           System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = (System.Drawing.Bitmap)System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(stream, true, false);

           return bitmap;
       }

I did not notice an "await" in your method, so the whole method runs synchronously.

Consider using a BackgroundWorker instead.

The "do work" handler of the BackgroundWorker can do the work in your method; the "completed" event handler can subsequently update the UI, if necessary.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
