I've looked at the answers to various questions, but haven't managed to map the content in the answers to the problem I'm attempting to solve. I've reduced it down to the following code (representative of the outcome I'm trying to achieve), and basically want to be able to render the Person.TitleId
as its corresponding Title.TitleText
when the row isn't being edited, and have the drop-down bound correctly so that it displays the TitleText
s in the drop-down and writes the associated TitleId
back to the Person
record when its changed.
In short, what do I put in my
to achieve this?
App.xaml.cs
protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{
base.OnStartup(e);
var viewModel = new ViewModels.MainWindowViewModel();
var mainWindow = new MainWindow();
mainWindow.DataContext = viewModel;
mainWindow.ShowDialog();
}
MainWindow.xaml
Person.cs
public class Person
{
public int TitleId { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
}
Title.cs
public struct Title
{
public Title(int titleId, string titleText)
: this()
{
TitleId = titleId;
TitleText = titleText;
}
public string TitleText { get; private set; }
public int TitleId { get; private set; }
public static List GetAvailableTitles()
{
var titles = new List();
titles.Add(new Title(1, "Mr"));
titles.Add(new Title(2, "Miss"));
titles.Add(new Title(3, "Mrs"));
return titles;
}
}
MainWindowViewModel.cs
public class MainWindowViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
private ObservableCollection contacts;
private List titles;
public MainWindowViewModel()
{
titles = Title.GetAvailableTitles();
Contacts = new ObservableCollection();
Contacts.Add(new Person() { FirstName = "Jane", LastName = "Smith", TitleId = 2 });
}
public List Titles
{
get { return titles; }
}
public ObservableCollection Contacts
{
get { return contacts; }
set
{
if (contacts != value)
{
contacts = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged("Contacts");
}
}
}
}
ViewModelBase.cs
public class ViewModelBase : INotifyPropertyChanged
