Problem with WPF Data Binding Defined in Code Not Updating UI Elements
- by Ben
I need to define new UI Elements as well as data binding in code because they will be implemented after run-time. Here is a simplified version of what I am trying to do.
Data Model:
public class AddressBook : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private int _houseNumber;
public int HouseNumber
{
get { return _houseNumber; }
set { _houseNumber = value; NotifyPropertyChanged("HouseNumber"); }
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected void NotifyPropertyChanged(string sProp)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(sProp));
}
}
}
Binding in Code:
AddressBook book = new AddressBook();
book.HouseNumber = 123;
TextBlock tb = new TextBlock();
Binding bind = new Binding("HouseNumber");
bind.Source = book;
bind.Mode = BindingMode.OneWay;
tb.SetBinding(TextBlock.TextProperty, bind); // Text block displays "123"
myGrid.Children.Add(tb);
book.HouseNumber = 456; // Text block displays "123" but PropertyChanged event fires
When the data is first bound, the text block is updated with the correct house number. Then, if I change the house number in code later, the book's PropertyChanged event fires, but the text block is not updated. Can anyone tell me why?
Thanks,
Ben
