I've a WPF application that loads a menu from an XML file, each node as a tag that identifies the user function. Each user has visibility permission that match against the tag defined in the xml file. I wish some help on simplifing that code since I's quite complex and from my point of view poor performing. Consider that the main menu is composed of main items and inside each there're specific areas function. If a user is enabled to at element at list the main menu node is shown otherwise not.

In specific what I did is to process each child node then if visible I add it to the collection... do you see any possible better solution?
Thanks
Whoever wrote that code clearly didn't know how to write WPF. In WPF, there is a much simpler option... just use the MenuItem.Visibility property to hide (collapse) MenuItems that users don't have access to. Of course, you'd need some data bind-able security bool properties which you could then data bind to the MenuItem.Visibility property of each MenuItem via a BooleanToVisibilityConverter. Here's a simple example:
<MenuItem Header="Some option" Visibility="{Binding User.Security.HasSomeOptionPermission,
Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" ... />
If a particular user has the SomeOptionPermission, then the MenuItem will be displayed, otherwise it will be hidden.

Like the title says, I try to notify a property change, the method RaisePropertyChanged is called coorectly, but PropertyChanged is always null.
Here the shortened class:
public class BluetoothManager : INotifyPropertyChanged {
private string selectedBluetoothResult;
private List<string> foundDevices = new List<string>(5);
public List<DeviceInformation> penDevices = new List<DeviceInformation>();
private GattCharacteristic TxCharacteristic;
public string SelectedBluetoothResult {
get {
return selectedBluetoothResult;
}
set {
selectedBluetoothResult = value;
RaisePropertyChanged();
}
}
public List<string> FoundDevices {
get
{
return foundDevices;
}
set
{
foundDevices = value;
RaisePropertyChanged();
}
}
public BluetoothManager() {
StartScanWatcher();
}
public void StartScanWatcher() {
Debug.WriteLine("Starting device watcher...");
String query = "";
//query for Bluetooth LE devices
query += "System.Devices.DevObjectType:=5 AND System.Devices.Aep.ProtocolId:=\"{BB7BB05E-5972-42B5-94FC-76EAA7084D49}\"";
//query for devices with controllers' name
query += " AND (System.ItemNameDisplay:=\"" + DeviceName + "\" )";
var deviceWatcher = DeviceInformation.CreateWatcher(query); //, requestedProperties, DeviceInformationKind.AssociationEndpoint);
deviceWatcher.Added += DeviceWatcher_OnAdded;
deviceWatcher.EnumerationCompleted += DeviceWatcher_OnEnumComplete;
deviceWatcher.Removed += DeviceWatcher_Removed;
deviceWatcher.Stopped += DeviceWatcher_Stopped;
deviceWatcher.Updated += DeviceWatcher_Updated;
deviceWatcher.Start();
Debug.WriteLine(" StartScanWatcher end");
}
private void DeviceWatcher_OnAdded(DeviceWatcher sender, DeviceInformation deviceInfo) {
Debug.WriteLine(" DeviceWatcher_OnAdded Start");
lock (foundDevices) {
if (foundDevices.Contains(deviceInfo.Id)) {
return;
}
foundDevices.Add(deviceInfo.Id);
RaisePropertyChanged("FoundDevices");
}
Debug.WriteLine($"[{deviceInfo.Name}] DeviceWatcher_OnAdded...");
if (SelectedBluetoothResult == null)
{
SelectedBluetoothResult = deviceInfo.Id;
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void RaisePropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
Debug.WriteLine("<<<<<<<<<<<<< BluetoothManager, PropertyChanging: " + propertyName);
if (PropertyChanged == null) {
Debug.WriteLine("============ BluetoothManager, PropertyChanged == null, " + propertyName);
return;
}
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
Debug.WriteLine(">>>>>>>>>>>>> BluetoothManager, PropertyChanged: " + propertyName);
}
}
}
And here the Binding in the XAML file:
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding BluetoothManager.FoundDevices}" SelectedItem="{Binding BluetoothManager.SelectedBluetoothResult}">
<ListView.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="BluetoothDeviceTemplate">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Sap}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.Resources>
</ListView>
The binding seems to work properly.
Please note, that the class in which the PropertyChanged is always null is not the DataContext auf the XAML file. Does that mean I have to work differently with the PropertyChange notification?
Thanks in advance.

Edit tl;dr:
Why do all "direct" properties of MainWindowViewModel update great (like MainWindowViewModel.IsSearchResult), but the two "indirect" properties don't (MainWindowViewModel.BluetoothManager.SelectedBluetoothResult).
List.add() doesnt trigger PropertyChange. You need to use ObservableCollection or raise PropertyChange yourself after adding item.
I have a set of classes that I am using to deserialize JSON into. My program will periodically look for changes to this JSON file, and if it finds any, will push the new data to the properties of these classes using reflection.
I need to find any new items added to the collection of the Item2 class (SocialExportJSON.SocialExportData.Item2) after a successful update.
My JSON classes look like this (there are more but I want to avoid too big a wall of code):
public class Item2 : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
[JsonProperty("type")]
private string type;
public string Type
{
get
{
return type;
}
set
{

{
type = value;

}
}
}
[JsonProperty("id")]
private string id;
public string ID
{
get
{
return id;
}
set
{
if (id != value)
{
id = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("ID");
}
}
}
[JsonProperty("postedIso8601")]
private string postedIso8601;
public string PostedIso8601
{
get
{
return postedIso8601;
}
set
{
if (postedIso8601 != value)
{
postedIso8601 = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("PostedIso8601");
}
}
}
[JsonProperty("postedTimestamp")]
private object postedTimestamp;
public object PostedTimestamp
{
get
{
return postedTimestamp;
}
set
{
if (postedTimestamp != value)
{
postedTimestamp = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("PostedTimestamp");
}
}
}
[JsonProperty("engagement")]
private Engagement engagement;
public Engagement Engagement
{
get
{

In another class, I have a method to deserialize to a global instance of my JSON class. It looks like this:
public SocialExportJSON socialExportData;
private async void DownloadAndDeserializeJSONAsync()
{
try
{
//Create a web client with the supplied credentials
var exportClient = new WebClient { Credentials = new NetworkCredential(uName, pw), Encoding = Encoding.UTF8};
//Create a task to download the JSON string and wait for it to finish
var downloadTask = Task.Run(() => exportClient.DownloadString(new Uri(eURL)));
downloadTask.Wait();
//Get the string from the task
var JSONString = await downloadTask;
//Create a task to deserialize the JSON from the last task
var DeserializeTask = Task.Run(() => JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<SocialExportJSON>(JSONString));
DeserializeTask.Wait();
SocialExportJSON sej = await DeserializeTask;
//Check the timestamp first to see if we should change the data
if(socialExportData == null)
{
//Get the data from the task
socialExportData = await DeserializeTask;
}
else if(sej.ModifiedTimestamp != socialExportData.ModifiedTimestamp)
{
//Get the data from the task
SocialExportJSON newData = await DeserializeTask;
GetNewItems(newData);
SetNewData(newData);
//Call the exportUpdated event when the task has finished
exportUpdated();
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Message.ToString());
}
}
In my SetNewData function, shown below, I use reflection to set the properties of my global class. Because I'm setting the whole collection rather than iterating through each of the properties in each of the classes, I can't use the CollectionChanged event to find new items.
public void SetNewData(SocialExportJSON newData)
{
//Loop through each of the properties and copy from source to target
foreach (PropertyInfo pi in socialExportData.GetType().GetProperties())
{
if (pi.CanWrite)
{
pi.SetValue(socialExportData, pi.GetValue(newData, null), null);
}
}
}
Is there a way I can modify my SetNewData function in such a way that it calls CollectionChanged? If not, what would be the best way to go about getting any new additions to my collection of Item2?
In my Main function. I create an instance of my class called SocialExport like so:
SocialExport s = new SocialExport("http://example.json", "example", "example");.
This class is where the global instance of my JSON class is contained, and my event handler is added like so
s.socialExportData.Exports[0].Items.CollectionChanged += CollectionChanged;
Then you are hooking up an event handler for the CollectionChanged event for that particular instance of ObservableCollection<Item2>.
If you create a new ObservableCollection<Item2>, you obviously must hook up an event handler to this one as well. The event handler that is associated with the old object won't be invoked when new items are added to the new instance.
So whenever a new ObservableCollection<Item2> is created, using deserialization or not, you should hook up a new event handler.
You could probably do this in your DownloadAndDeserializeJSONAsync method. The other option would be to create only one instance of the collection and remove and add items from/to this one.
I am trying to reach a foreach but my program never gets inside because my ICollection Coletores is always empty even if I put a lot of stuff in there.
The code where I want to get inside and it is always empty (I want to get inside the second foreach):
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationEventArgs e)
{
if (NavigationContext.QueryString.TryGetValue("email", out email))
{
//MessageBox.Show(email);
List<HyperlinkButton> listaLinks = new List<HyperlinkButton>();
AppDataContext db = new AppDataContext();
int i = 0;
HyperlinkButton aux = new HyperlinkButton();
foreach (Pessoa pessoa in db.Pessoas)
{
if (pessoa.Email == email)
{
foreach (Coletor coletor in pessoa.Coletores)
{
aux.Content = "Coletor " + (i + 1).ToString();
aux.FontSize = 24;
aux.NavigateUri = new Uri("/OcorrenciasPage.xaml?coletorId=" + coletor.Id.ToString(), UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
listaLinks.Add(aux);
i++;
}
}
}
ListBox coletores = new ListBox();
coletores.ItemsSource = listaLinks;
stcList.Children.Add(coletores);
}
base.OnNavigatedTo(e);
}
Now the code that I am adding data:
if (txtLat.Text != "" && txtLong.Text != "" && rdNorte.IsChecked == true || rdSul.IsChecked == true && rdLeste.IsChecked == true || rdOeste.IsChecked == true)
{
foreach (var pessoa in db.Pessoas)
{
if (pessoa.Email == email)
{
pessoa.Coletores.Add(coletor);
}
}
db.Coletores.InsertOnSubmit(coletor);
db.SubmitChanges();
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/ColetoresPage.xaml?email=" + email, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
}
Now, my Pessoa class:
public class Pessoa : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private int _id;
[Column(IsDbGenerated = true, IsPrimaryKey = true)]
public int Id {
get { return _id;}
set { _id = value;

[Association(Name = "FK_Coletores_PessoaColetores", Storage = "_coletores", ThisKey = "Id", OtherKey = "pessoaId")]
public ICollection<Coletor> Coletores
{
get { return _coletores; }
set { _coletores.Assign(value); }
}
private EntitySet<PessoaColetor> _pessoaColetores = new EntitySet<PessoaColetor>();
[Association(Name = "FK_PessoaColetores_Pessoas", Storage = "_pessoaColetores", OtherKey = "pessoaId", ThisKey = "Id")]
private ICollection<PessoaColetor> PessoaColetores
{
get { return _pessoaColetores; }
set { _pessoaColetores.Assign(value); }
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void OnPropertyChanged(string name)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{

}
}
}
The Coletores property on the Pessoa class looks alright. There is also a PessoaColetores property. Are you sure there has been no confusion between the two? Especially with intellisense one might dot or tab the wrong one.
Have you put a break point on the line that actually adds coletors (second code snippet)? Maybe stuff is added to the wrong collection.
Cheers, B.
I populate a data grid with a list of objects that come from a repository like this:
public static IEnumerable<Order> GetOrdersForDataGrid()
{
IEnumerable<Order> query;
using (RSDContext = new RSDContext())
{
query = context.Orders.Include(o=>o.OrderDetails).ToList();
}
return query;
}
When I want to edit an order I pass the selected row to a new window like this:
OrderEditWindow orderEdit = new OrderEditWindow();
orderEdit.SelectedOrder = SelectedOrder;
orderEdit.ShowDialog();
Here I set the DataContext of the Window to:
DataContext = SelectedOrder;
In this window I have another data grid that binds to OrderDetails collection property of Order. The problem is on CRUD operations on OrderDetails. For example, after I add a new orderDetail like this:
private void AddProductDetailButton_OnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (!ValidateProductDetail())
return;
var _selectedProduct = ProductAutoCompleteBox.SelectedItem as Product;
var selectedProduct = ProductsRepository.GetProductById(_selectedProduct.ProductId);
OrderDetail orderDetail = new OrderDetail();
orderDetail.Price = selectedProduct.Price;
orderDetail.ProductCode = selectedProduct.Code;
orderDetail.ProductName = selectedProduct.Name;
orderDetail.Quantity = int.Parse(QuantityNumericUpDown.Value.ToString());
orderDetail.Um = selectedProduct.Um;
orderDetail.Total = selectedProduct.Price * int.Parse(QuantityNumericUpDown.Value.ToString());
orderDetail.Group = selectedProduct.Subgroup.Group.Name;
orderDetail.Subgroup = selectedProduct.Subgroup.Name;
orderDetail.SupplierName = selectedProduct.Supplier.Name;
//orderDetail.Order=SelectedOrder;
//orderDetail.OrderId = SelectedOrder.OrderId;
SelectedOrder.OrderDetails.Add(orderDetail);
ProductAutoCompleteBox.Text = string.Empty;
QuantityNumericUpDown.Value = 1;
ProductAutoCompleteBox.Focus();
}
and then I call the update method from repository:
public static void UpdateOrder(Order order)
{
using (RSDContext context = new RSDContext())
{
context.Orders.Attach(order);
context.Entry(order).State = EntityState.Modified;
context.SaveChanges();
}
}
I get an error about OrderId. If i set manualy the navigation property and the id I don't get an error but changes dont get saved into db.
My Order model look like this:
public class Order : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

I'm really trying to use some sort of unit of work and I don't understand how i'm supposed to apply CRUD on objects with child collections and keep the UI updated in the same time (by working in a ObservableCollection and using Binding ClientPhone, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged my parent window is updated as I type)
A final working solution:
using (RSDContext context = new RSDContext())
{
var details = order.OrderDetails;
order.OrderDetails = null;
List<int> OriginalOrderDetailsIds =
context.OrderDetails.Where(o => o.OrderId == order.OrderId).Select(o => o.OrderDetailId).ToList();
List<int> CurrentOrderDetailsIds = details.Select(o => o.OrderDetailId).ToList();
List<int> DeletedOrderDetailsIds = OriginalOrderDetailsIds.Except(CurrentOrderDetailsIds).ToList();
context.Entry(order).State = EntityState.Modified;
foreach (var deletedOrderDetailId in DeletedOrderDetailsIds)
{
context.Entry(context.OrderDetails.Single(o => o.OrderDetailId == deletedOrderDetailId)).State = EntityState.Deleted;
}
foreach (OrderDetail detail in details)
{
// Add.
if (detail.OrderDetailId == 0)
{
detail.OrderId = order.OrderId;
context.Entry(detail).State = EntityState.Added;
}
// Update.
else
{
context.Entry(detail).State = EntityState.Modified;
}
}
context.SaveChanges();
}
You could do this way for adding and updating the child, but not sure about deleted order details in the ui. If you don't want to get the order from entity, you need some kind of marking in the OrderDetail for deleted OrderDetail.
using (RSDContext context = new RSDContext())
{
var details = order.OrderDetails;
order.OrderDetails = null;
context.Entry(order).State = EntityState.Modified;
foreach (var detail in details)
{
if (detail.Id == 0)
{
// Adds.
detail.OrderId = order.Id;
context.Entry(detail).State = EntityState.Added;
}
else if (detail.IsDeleted)
// Adds new property called 'IsDeleted'
// and add [NotMapped] attribute
// then mark this property as true from the UI for deleted items.
{
// Deletes.
context.Entry(detail).State = EntityState.Deleted;
}
else
{
// Updates.
context.Entry(detail).State = EntityState.Modified;
}
}
order.OrderDetails = details;
context.SaveChanges();
}
Consider DataGrid is loaded and when find clicked first match is selected and
On FindNext next match is highlighted
Note : I am able to implement in Normal WPF, But in MVVM we should not pass GRID/Grid cell Object to ViewModel, So not able to change the style of particular Area on Button click.
Thanks in Advance
