I'm new to both Linq and WPF and I'm looking for a good resource to understand the concepts better (XAML Databinding and INotifyPropertyChanged specifically when using Linq). Ultimately I want to use an opensource gauge that automatically registers a new value whenever a row is added to the table. I'm using VS 2012. I created a test application but it doesn't work and I can't figure out why. I get the intial value from my table but when I add a row and generate a new ProcessID nothing updates. Here is my code:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2Test6.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"><Grid><TextBox x:Name="tbTest" BorderBrush="#FFCB5D5D" Width="50" Height="25" Text="{Binding Source=valueP, Path=ProcessID, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"></TextBox></Grid></Window>

{
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(Window1_Loaded);
}
void Window1_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
BindingList<ProcessUpdate> processList = new BindingList<ProcessUpdate>();
var processID = ProcessUpdate.GetNewProcessValue().ProcessID;
tbTest.Text = processID.ToString();
}
}
public class ProcessUpdate : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private int pid;
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private ProcessUpdate()
{
WpfApplication2Test6.MonthlyBudgetEntities entity = new MonthlyBudgetEntities();
var valueP = (from p in entity.WPFTestTables
select new { p.ProcessID }).ToList().Last();
pid = valueP.ProcessID;
}
public static ProcessUpdate GetNewProcessValue()
{
return new ProcessUpdate();
}
public int ProcessID
{
get { return pid; }
set
{
pid = value;
OnPropertyChanged("ProcessID");
}
}
public void OnPropertyChanged(string pid)
{
PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(pid.ToString()));
}
}
}
