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>
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Controls; using System.Windows.Data; using System.Windows.Documents; using System.Windows.Input; using System.Windows.Media; using System.Windows.Media.Imaging; using System.Windows.Navigation; using System.Windows.Shapes; using System.Runtime.CompilerServices; using System.ComponentModel; namespace WpfApplication2Test6 { 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())); } } }
