I have 2 Textbox in Custom User Control.

First TextBox's Text property is Bind to Str Property in DataContext
While Seconds TextBox's Text property is assigned HARD-CODED Text.

Target Platform is set to x64.

Problem is that, with x64-bit, At Design Time, First Text Box don't display text which saved in Str.
While with x86-bit setting, it works fine

What I have tried:

Here is my XAML code in User control

XML

<UserControl x:Class="API_Test.CustomControlTest.UcTest"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" 
             xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
             xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:API_Test.CustomControlTest"
             mc:Ignorable="d" 
             d:DesignHeight="50" d:DesignWidth="200">

    <UserControl.DataContext>
        <vm:ControlTest/>
    </UserControl.DataContext>
    
    <Grid Margin="0,0,0,0" Background="White">
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition/>
            <ColumnDefinition />
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

        <TextBox Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Str}" ></TextBox>
        <TextBox Grid.Column="1" Text="String 2" ></TextBox>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Here is my ViewModel which is DataContext of above user Control

C#

using Prism.Mvvm;

namespace API_Test.CustomControlTest
{
    public class ControlTest : BindableBase
    {
        string str = "String 1";

        public string Str
        {
            get => str;
            set => SetProperty(ref str, value);
        }
        public ControlTest()
        {
        }
    }
}

"Design time". What happens at "run time"?

Solution 1

set the first textbox's binding mode to TwoWay and UpdateSourceTrigger to PropertyChanged.

Binding Mode TwoWay makes the View communicate to and fro with the property in ViewModel. Setting UpdateSourceTrigger to PropertyChanged makes changes are communicated whenever the value in the textbox changes.

also, make a habit to just use / at the end of controls that you dont plan to customize much.

So it becomes like this:

XML

<TextBox Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Str, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />

I have Changed my source as suggested by you.
It works Fine with x86 and Any-Cpu Settings but when I set x64 setting, It Fails.
With x64-bit settings, It displays binded Property Name (Str) instead of Actual String ("String 1").

Hi, how about changing the structure of the Str field and property?

I'm not familiar with what MVVM framework you use so i did suggest in changing your field and property. What I usually do (without any mvvm framework) is by using propfull shortcut, it will genereate:

private string str;

public string Str
{
get { return str; }
set
{
str = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("Str");
}
}

When you change Str value, xml will change the value of Str thanks to "PropertyChanged" and "Two Way". If you programmatically change value of Str, it will also be reflected to your UI.

Hope this helps.

I am using Prism framework for MVVM Architecture. So I don't need such type of code line for raising events. Prism self raise such events. While I know about asked problem that is occurring only due to architecture change. I am searching for any configuration, if available or solution

Hi, sorry I cannot help out more since I do not use any mvvm frameworks.
