I have created one custom control for paging data grid in WPF but it is not working. Please help me.
I am using my custom control as follows:
<Window x:Class="Frames.Masters.AreaWindow" xmlns:uc="clr-namespace:Frames.UserControls"> ...<Grid.Resources><uc:PagedData x:Key="database" /></Grid.Resources> ...<xcdg:DataGridControl></xcdg:DataGridControl><uc:PagingControl x:Name="pager" Grid.Row="2" Height="25" ItemsSource="{Binding ocArea}" PageContract="{StaticResource database}" /> I am using Xceed data grid above. Then declaring my custom control which is nothing but an user control which I have created which includes buttons and text boxes. I am assigning it to ObservableCollection which has 5 records. My user control is PagingControl.xaml. Its cs file is like, (I am giving partial code here) public partial class PagingControl : UserControl { public static DependencyProperty ItemsSourceProperty; public ObservableCollection<object> ItemsSource { get { return GetValue(ItemsSourceProperty) as ObservableCollection<object>; } set { SetValue(ItemsSourceProperty, value); } } static PagingControl() { ItemsSourceProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("ItemsSource", typeof(ObservableCollection<object>), typeof(PagingControl), new PropertyMetadata(new ObservableCollection<object>())); } public IPageControlContract PageContract { get { return GetValue(PageContractProperty) as IPageControlContract; } set { SetValue(PageContractProperty, value); } } private void SetDefaultValues() { PageContract.SetRecordSource(ItemsSource); } private void Navigate(PageChanges change) { uint TotalRecords; short NewPageSize; if (PageContract == null) { return; } TotalRecords = PageContract.GetTotalCount(); } } Here above IPageControlContract is an interface which is like below: public interface IPageControlContract { void SetRecordSource(ObservableCollection<object> ocSource); uint GetTotalCount(); ICollection<object> GetRecords(uint StartIndex, short NumberOfRecords); } Then I implement it as: public class PagedData: IPageControlContract { ObservableCollection<object> oc; public void SetRecordSource(ObservableCollection<object> ocSource) { oc = ocSource; } public uint GetTotalCount() { return (uint)oc.Count; } } And this PagedData class is what I am referring in xaml via static resource. Now when I am debugging I am getting oc as null inside PagedData or oc having count zero even though my ocArea which is of type of some custom class 'Area' has 5 records. Now I have declared Observable Collection as type of object because I want my control to act on any type of object for paging.
