My First implementation in Silverlight4 with MVVM and Ria Service
This is my first practices in silverlight4 using MVVM pattern and Ria Service to only show data in the gridview
please walk with me in this steps
1-adding my framework
2-adding my ria service class DomainService1
3-in the silverlight project make the following
a)add a new folder and call it ViewModel
b)insert into the view model folder a c# class and Call it ViewModelBase
4-in the ViewModelBase Class make the follwing code
public class ModelViewBase : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public void RaisePropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
}
the previous class inherited from INotifyPropertyChanged and implement it
note)this INotifyPropertyChanged interface in the System.ComponentModel
5-Adding a new class for each page “each view” like EmployeePageViewModel
this calss will be the following code :
public class EmployeePageViewModel: ViewModelBase
{
private DomainService1 ds;
public EmployeePageViewModel()
{
ds = new DomainService1();
LoadOperation<Employee1> loadOperation = ds.Load<Employee1>(ds.GetEmployee1Query());
loadOperation.Completed += new EventHandler(loadOperation_Completed);
}
private void loadOperation_Completed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LoadOperation<Employee1> loadOperation = sender as LoadOperation<Employee1>;
if (loadOperation.HasError)
{
ListOfEmployees = null;
loadOperation.MarkErrorAsHandled();
}
else
ListOfEmployees = loadOperation.Entities.ToList();
}
private List<Employee1> _listOfEmployees;
public List<Employee1> ListOfEmployees
{
get { return _listOfEmployees; }
set {
_listOfEmployees = value;
RaisePropertyChanged(“ListOfEmployees”);
}
}
}
===========================================================================
in the EmployeePage.xaml
make the following
Add the name space
1) xmlns:vm=”clr-namespace:SilverlightApplication3.ModelView” which refer to the viewmodel in ur project
2)add the items source property as the following ItemsSource=”{Binding ListOfEmployees}”
==================================================================
in the EmployeePage.xaml.cs
but the following code
InitializeComponent();
EmployeePageModelView vm = new EmployeePageModelView();
this.DataContext = vm;
======================================================================
thats all
Happy programing
