Help getting MVVM ViewModel to bind to the View
- by cw
Okay guys, I'm new to this model and Silverlight in general. I have the following code (changed object names, so syntax/spelling errors ignore).
public class ViewModel
{
ViewModelSource m_vSource;
public ViewModel(IViewModelSource source)
{
m_vSource= source;
m_vSource.ItemArrived += new Action<Item>(m_vSource_ItemArrived);
}
void m_vSource_ItemArrived(Item obj)
{
Title = obj.Title;
Subitems = obj.items;
Description = obj.Description;
}
public void GetFeed(string serviceUrl)
{
m_vFeedSource.GetFeed(serviceUrl);
}
public string Title { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<Subitems> Subitems { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
Here is the code I have in my page's codebehind.
ViewModel m_vViewModel;
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
m_vViewModel = new ViewModel(new ViewModelSource());
this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(MainPage_Loaded);
this.DataContext = m_vViewModel;
}
void MainPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
m_vViewModel.GetItems("http://www.myserviceurl.com");
}
Finally, here is a sample of what my xaml looks like.
<!--TitleGrid is the name of the application and page title-->
<Grid x:Name="TitleGrid" Grid.Row="0">
<TextBlock Text="My Super Title" x:Name="textBlockPageTitle" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextPageTitle1Style}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Title}" x:Name="textBlockListTitle" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextPageTitle2Style}"/>
</Grid>
I know I'm missing something, but I'm just not knowledgable enough which is why I'm asking you guys :) Is there anything I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks!
