Model and ViewModel Consept MVVM WPF

I want to read some data from database and do some process on them and then view them in the view.
I read a lot about MVVM and now I am confused.
Imaging I read a person entity from database with Name attribute.
please make a small code and show me how should I make my model and ViewModel.
I guess it we will be something like this :
public class PersonModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private string Name;
public string name
{
get
{
return Name;
}
set
{
Name = value;
onpropertychanged("name");
}
}
public PersonModel( string s)
{
name = s;
}
public void onpropertychanged(string PName)
{
if (PropertyChanged !=null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(PName));
}
}
}
public class PersonViewModel
{
public ObservableCollection <PersonModel> list { get; set; }
public PersonViewModel()
{
list = new ObservableCollection<model>();
list.Add(new model("abc"));
list.Add(new model("def"));
}
public void change()
{
list[1].name = "changed";
}
}
public class ViewModelBase
{
public PersonViewModel vperson { get; set; }
public ViewModelBase()
{
vperson = new PersonViewModel();
vperson.change();
}
}
Edite : Where should database connections be?
Edite :
<Grid>
<TextBox Text="{Binding vperson.list[1].name}" />
</Grid>
</Window>

I edited your classes and is working
public class PersonModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private string _name;
public string Name
{
get => _name;
set
{
if (_name == value) return;
_name = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
public PersonModel(string name)
{
_name = name;
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName]string propertyName = null)
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
public class PersonViewModel
{
public ObservableCollection<PersonModel> Items { get; set; }
public PersonViewModel()
{
Items = new ObservableCollection<PersonModel> { new PersonModel("abc"), new PersonModel("def") };
}
public void Change()
{
Items[1].Name = "changed";
}
}
public class ViewModelBase
{
public PersonViewModel PersonViewModel { get; set; }
public ViewModelBase()
{
PersonViewModel = new PersonViewModel();
PersonViewModel.Change();
}
}
//Use the dataContext in this way, will help you with the strong type
xmlns:viewModels="clr-namespace:WpfApp1.ViewModels"
<Window.DataContext>
<viewModels:ViewModelBase />
</Window.DataContext>
<Grid>
<TextBox Text="{Binding PersonViewModel.Items[1].Name}" />
</Grid>

"Cascade" binding on ObservableCollection, containing other ObservableCollection

I have a project where I need to display a list of contract (Class Affaire).
Each contract has a list of phases (Class Phase).
I display each of them in 2 different ListView using binding.
Problem is when I remove a Phase from ListView, nor the ListView where are displayed Phases, nor my ObjectCollection are updated.
I created a context with two distinct ObservableCollection :
ObservableCollection, where is the list of Affaire.
ObservableCollection that are list of phases present in selected Affaire
My context is made as follow :
public class Contexte : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private Affaire selectedAffaire;
private Phase selectedPhase;
private Assemblage selectedAssemblage;
public Affaire SelectedAffaire
{
get { return selectedAffaire; }
set
{
selectedAffaire = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("SelectedAffaire");
}
}
public Phase SelectedPhase
{
get { return selectedPhase; }
set
{
selectedPhase = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("SelectedPhase");
}
}
public Assemblage SelectedAssemblage
{
get { return selectedAssemblage; }
set
{
selectedAssemblage = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("SelectedAssemblage");
}
}
private ObservableCollection<Affaire> listeDesAffaires;
public ObservableCollection<Affaire> ListeDesAffaires
{
get { return listeDesAffaires; }
set { NotifyPropertyChanged(ref listeDesAffaires, value); }
}
/**************************************************/
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public void NotifyPropertyChanged(string nomPropriete)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(nomPropriete));
}
private bool NotifyPropertyChanged<T>(ref T variable, T valeur, [CallerMemberName] string nomPropriete = null)
{
if (object.Equals(variable, valeur)) return false;
variable = valeur;
NotifyPropertyChanged(nomPropriete);
return true;
}
}
My Class Affaire :
public class Affaire : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public long ID { get; set; }
private string nom;
public string Nom
{
get { return this.nom; }
set
{
if (this.nom != value)
{
this.nom = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("Nom");
}
}
}
private string code;
public string Code
{
get { return this.code; }
set
{
if (this.code != value)
{
this.code = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("Code");
}
}
}
private string comm;
public string Comm
{
get { return this.comm; }
set
{
if (this.comm != value)
{
this.comm = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("Comm");
}
}
}
private ObservableCollection<Phase> listPhases;
public ObservableCollection<Phase> ListPhases {
get { return listPhases; }
set
{
listPhases = value;
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
NotifyPropertyChanged("ListPhases");
}
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public void NotifyPropertyChanged(string propName)
{
if (this.PropertyChanged != null)
this.PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propName));
}
....
}
My class Phase :
public class Phase : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private string nomPhase;
public string NomPhase
{
get { return this.nomPhase; }
set
{
if (this.nomPhase != value)
{
this.nomPhase = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("NomPhase");
}
}
}
private int priorite;
public int Priorite
{
get { return this.priorite; }
set
{
if (this.priorite != value)
{
this.priorite = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("Priorite");
}
}
}
private string commPhase;
public string CommPhase
{
get { return this.commPhase; }
set
{
if (this.commPhase != value)
{
this.commPhase = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("CommPhase");
}
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public void NotifyPropertyChanged(string propName)
{
if (this.PropertyChanged != null)
this.PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propName));
}
public long IdAffaire { get; set; }
public long ID { get; set; }
private ObservableCollection<Assemblage> listAssemblages;
public ObservableCollection<Assemblage> ListAssemblages
{
get { return listAssemblages; }
set
{
listAssemblages = value;
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
NotifyPropertyChanged("ListAssemblages");
}
}
}
...
}
1) When I doubleclick on a contract(in ListView1), I display in ListView2 list of its phases, I do the following :
contexte.SelectedAffaire = (Affaire)ListView1.SelectedItem;
contexte.SelectedAffaire.getListPhases();
afficherListview("2");
2) When I edit my Phase, all is updated correctly in my view, and also in my ObservableCollection
3) For adding/removing a new Phase, all is solved.
Edit :
Example given by Netstep works perfectly but I still meet an issue :
I have a third level "Assembly", this is an ObservableCollection in class "Phase", I have no problem to navigate with the four ListViews, but I meet a problem when I want to make something else : When I right-click on the header of "Phase", I want to display in the list of Assembly, the list of all assemblies contained in Affaire, without filtering on Phase.
For this I do the following : I am on the 3rd level listview Assemblies, I make right click on Phase header and event is as following :
Phase ph = new Phase();
ph.IdAffaire = contexte.SelectedAffaire.ID;
ph.ListAssemblages = new ObservableCollection<Assemblage>(contexte.SelectedAffaire.getListAssemblages(true));
contexte.SelectedPhase = ph;
I "shit" a bit making a new empty phase, just to put an ObservableCollection inside and bind the ObservableCollection to my ListView3.
Edit : That part of code works good... I just refreshed the context somewhere in my code and forgot about it, sure that there was something wrong in biding... All solved thanks

Here is the example, based on your source, that will handle all stuff.
a View Models:
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.ComponentModel;
namespace WpfApp2
{
public class BaseViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public void NotifyPropertyChanged(string nomPropriete)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(nomPropriete));
}
}
public class Contexte : BaseViewModel
{
private Affaire _selectedAffaire;
private Phase _selectedPhase;
public ObservableCollection<Affaire> ListeDesAffaires { get; set; }
public Affaire SelectedAffaire
{
get { return _selectedAffaire; }
set
{
_selectedAffaire = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("SelectedAffaire");
}
}
public Phase SelectedPhase
{
get { return _selectedPhase; }
set
{
_selectedPhase = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("SelectedPhase");
}
}
public Contexte()
{
ListeDesAffaires = new ObservableCollection<Affaire>
{
new Affaire("Affaire1"),
new Affaire("Affaire2")
};
}
}
public class Affaire : BaseViewModel
{
private string nom;
public string Nom
{
get { return this.nom; }
set
{
this.nom = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("Nom");
}
}
public ObservableCollection<Phase> ListPhases { get; set; }
public Affaire(string n)
{
nom = n;
ListPhases = new ObservableCollection<Phase>
{
new Phase { NomPhase = nom + "_Phase1" },
new Phase { NomPhase = nom + "_Phase2" }
};
}
}
public class Phase : BaseViewModel
{
private string nomPhase;
public string NomPhase
{
get { return this.nomPhase; }
set
{
this.nomPhase = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("NomPhase");
}
}
public ObservableCollection<Assemblage> ListAssemblages { get; set; }
}
public class Assemblage : BaseViewModel
{
private string nom;
public string Nom
{
get { return this.nom; }
set
{
this.nom = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("Nom");
}
}
}
}
a MainWindow.xaml:

<ListBox Grid.Column="2" ItemsSource="{Binding SelectedPhase.ListAssemblages}" DisplayMemberPath="Nom" Margin="0,20,0,0"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
And some code from your question (MainWindow.xaml.cs):
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Windows;
namespace WpfApp2
{
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void FillClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Phase ph = new Phase();
ph.NomPhase = "SomeId";
ph.ListAssemblages = new ObservableCollection<Assemblage>()
{
new Assemblage { Nom = "Assemblage1" },
new Assemblage { Nom = "Assemblage2" }
};
Contexte.SelectedPhase = ph;
}
}
}
And here is the result:
This is basic sample that you can extend. It handles all field modification and Add/Remove objects and displays on screen. There is no additional code in MainWindow.xaml.cs. Please ask questions, if any.

c# UWP binding ComboBox SelectedItem

Hello I can't seem to figure out why my combox stays empty :/
On page load the first combox gets populated with countries (from JSON), the second combobox should populate when a country is selected in the first combobox. I'm trying to fetch the SelectedItem (country) as string in a property ... SelectedItem is of type ComboBoxItem ? I think that is where it goes wrong.
The (view)model where the sorting bindable properties are:
public class LocalityModel : NotifyProp
{
#region properties
private static List<LocalityJSON> dataList;
public List<LocalityJSON> DataList
{
get
{
return dataList;
}
set {
dataList = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("Landen");
RaisePropertyChanged("Gewesten");
}
}
public List<string> Landen
{
get { if (DataList == null) return null; return (from s in DataList orderby s.Land select s.Land).Distinct().ToList<string>(); }
}
public string SelectedLand { get; set; }
public List<string> Gewesten {
get { if (DataList == null) return null; return (from s in DataList where s.Land.Equals(SelectedLand) select s.Gewest).Distinct().ToList<string>(); }
}
#endregion
#region ctor
public LocalityModel()
{
FillDataList();
}
#endregion
#region methodes
public async void FillDataList()
{
if (DataList == null)
{
DataList = await EVNT.Entries();
}
}
#endregion
}
MainPage XAML (the bindings):
<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}" DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource LocalityModel}}">
...
<TextBlock x:Name="txbCountry" Style="{StaticResource InfoLabelCountry}" />
<ComboBox x:Name="cboCountry" Style="{StaticResource CountryBox}" ItemsSource="{Binding Landen}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedLand, Mode=TwoWay}" />
<TextBlock x:Name="txbGewest" Style="{StaticResource InfoLabelGewest}" />
<ComboBox x:Name="cboGewest" Style="{StaticResource GewestBox}" ItemsSource="{Binding Gewesten}" />
INotifyPropertyChanged:
public class NotifyProp : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public void RaisePropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null) PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
The model for the JSON:
public class LocalityJSON
{
public string FB_ID { get; set; }
public string Land { get; set; }
public string Gewest { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
}
The JSON deserialisation (less important for the question):
public class EVNT
{
public async static Task<List<LocalityJSON>> Entries()
{
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(#"http://e-vnt.com/admin/core/api/");
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("localityApi");
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
String s = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
List<LocalityJSON> entries = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<LocalityJSON>>(s);
return entries;
}
else
return null;
}
}
}

In your SelectedLand Property setter you need to fire PropertyChanged event the for both SelectedLand and for Gewesten.
It would probably look something like this
private string _SelectedLand;
public string SelectedLand
{
get
{
return _SelectedLand;
}
set
{
_SelectedLand = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("SelectedLand");
RaisePropertyChanged("Gewesten");
}
}
if you don't fire PropertyChanged event for Gewesten then that combobox will not know to reload is values.

wpf mvvm binding to sub viewmodel.property

I made an example as simple as possible.
I have a class ViewModelMain whose will implement several viewmodels.
I am trying to bind my slider value on a viewmodel in my ViewModelMain.
Here my code:
MainWindow.xaml.cs
I set the datacontext here, don't know if it is realy a good idea.
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
VMMain vm = new VMMain();
this.DataContext = vm;
}
}
MainWindow.xaml
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<Slider Height="23" Name="page_slider" Width="100" Value="{Binding Path=p.NbrLine}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Minimum="0" Maximum="10"/>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Value, ElementName=page_slider, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" Height="28" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Name="Voiture1Label" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,110,0,172"></TextBox>
</Grid></Window>
ViewModelMain.cs
ViewModelBase : the class which implement the INotifyPropertyChanged
ModelPage : my model
MyPage : my sub viewmode which is the viewmodel of ModelPage
ViewModelMain : my final viewmodel which will implement more viewmodel
public class ViewModelBase : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propName)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propName));
}
}
}
public class ModelPage
{
public int NbrLine { get; set; }
public int NbrCapsLock { get; set; }
}
public class MyPage : ViewModelBase
{
private ModelPage _model;
public MyPage(ModelPage m)
{
_model = m;
}
public int NbrLine
{
get { return (_model.NbrLine); }
set
{
if (_model.NbrLine == value) return;
_model.NbrLine = value;
OnPropertyChanged("NbrLine");
}
}
public int NbrCapsLock
{
get { return (_model.NbrCapsLock); }
set
{
if (_model.NbrCapsLock == value) return;
_model.NbrCapsLock = value;
OnPropertyChanged("NbrCapsLock");
}
}
}
public class ViewModelMain
{
public MyPage p;
public ViewModelMain()
{
p = new MyPage(new ModelPage(){NbrLine = 5, NbrCapsLock = 1});
}
}
when i launch it, my slider is still on 0 doesn't understand why it is not on 5.

p is a field, not a property. You should only bind to properties:
public MyPage p { get; set; }

Actually you chould transform p into property like that. WPF can not bind to simple attributes.
public class ViewModelMain
{
public MyPage p { get; set; }
public ViewModelMain()
{
p = new MyPage(new ModelPage() { NbrLine = 5, NbrCapsLock = 1 });
}
}

Strange Behavior of CollectionView WPF

I've faced a really strange behavior while using CollectionViews and wonder if somebody can explain me that behavior.
I've got an ObservableCollection, lets call it _sourcelist. Then I create several CollectionViews of _sourcelist, in that way:
CollectionViewSource cvs = new CollectionViewSource() { Source = _sourcelist };
ICollectionView list = cvs.View;
These CollectionViews are each used with a different filter and one CollectionView with no filter (so representing the original source). In my Application I have a TabControl where every TabItem contains a ListBox with one of these CollectionViews as ItemsSource. When I know delete an item from the sourcelist, the ListBox with the CollectionView with no filter gets updated, but the other ListBoxes that contains filtered CollectionViews and contain the deleted item don't get updated. So the deleted item remains in that ListBoxes.
Now, the strange behavior is following:
When I add the following code after code written above:
list.CollectionChanged += (o,e) => { };
Then the other ListBoxes get updated, too.
Why that? I mean, I just registered an event handler for the CollectionChanged event, which does nothing!
So, here is my Code Sample. I know it is a big amount of code, but it is ready to run and reproduces the strange behavior.
When you run the code and try to delete an item in the "All" List, then the corresponding item in the filtered "Under 30" or "Over 30" list will not be deleted. Now uncomment the commented line in the ListViewModel (it is just a registration of an empty Eventhandler), then the corresponding items in the filtered lists will be deleted.
If you have any questions, then please ask! :-)
Thank you for your interest in solving the problem. :-)
P.S.: The RelayCommand is from the assembly: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Controls
