What I'm trying to do is bind the controls generated by a ItemsControl.ItemTemplate to a new instance of my ContactInterface class that is created whenever I run my query function.
ContactInterface.cs
class ContactInterface : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public string Type { get; set; }
private string firstname;
public string FirstName {
get{return this.firstname;}
set {
if (this.firstname != value) {
this.firstname = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("FirstName");
}
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public void NotifyPropertyChanged(string propName)
{
if (this.PropertyChanged != null)
this.PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propName));
}
}
}
SQL.cs
partial class MainWindow
{
private void selectContact(int? contactID)
{
using (ContactsDataContext context = new ContactsDataContext("Data Source=ds;Initial Catalog=db;Integrated Security=True"))
{
Contact contact = context.Contacts.SingleOrDefault(x => x.ContactID == contactID);
Contact spouse = context.Contacts.SingleOrDefault(x => x.ContactID == contact.Spouse);
Property property = context.Properties.SingleOrDefault(x => x.PropertyID == contact.Address);
ContactInterface selectedContact= new ContactInterface();
selectedContact.FirstName = contact.FirstName;
profileGrid.DataContext = selectedContact;
}
}
MainWindow.xaml
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="300" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ItemsControl Name="Profile_Page_Controls">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<Grid Margin="15">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="100" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="30" />

</Grid>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding TextContent}"/>
<TextBox Height="23" Text="{Binding Path=FirstName, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged }"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style>
<Setter Property="Grid.Column" Value="{Binding profile_Column}" />
<Setter Property ="Grid.Row" Value="{Binding profile_Row}" />
<Setter Property="Grid.ColumnSpan" Value="{Binding profile_Colspan}" />
</Style>
</ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
</ItemsControl>
<CheckBox Name="profile_SpouseCheck" Grid.Column="1" Margin="0,0,0,0" Checked="profile_SpouseCheck_Checked_1" Unchecked="profile_SpouseCheck_Checked_1"> Spouse</CheckBox>
</Grid>
My plan is to make a new ContactInterface instance every time a user runs the selectContact() function. That new instance will be bound to the generated controls, so when the user makes and saves a change, the textboxes will update that ContactInterface instance and my other functions can grab the data from that ContactInterface to make changes to the database. Any ideas?
