INotifyPropertyChanged event listener within respective class not firing on client side (silverlight)
- by Rob
I'm trying to work out if there's a simple way to internalize the handling of a property change event on a Custom Entity as I need to perform some bubbling of the changes to a child collection within the class when the Background Property is changed via a XAML binding:
public class MyClass : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
[Key]
public int MyClassId { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public ObservableCollection<ChildMyClass> MyChildren { get; set; }
public string _backgroundColor;
[DataMember]
public string BackgroundColor
{
get
{
return this._backgroundColor;
}
set
{
this._backgroundColor = value;
if (this.PropertyChanged != null)
{
this.PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("BackgroundColor"));
}
}
}
public MyClass()
{
this.BackgroundColor = "#FFFFFFFF";
this.PropertyChanged += MyClass_PropertyChanged;
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
void MyClass_PropertyChanged(object sender, System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
//Do something here - fires client side but not server side
}
}
I can listen to the event by externalizing it without any problems but it's an ugly way to handle something that want to set and forget inside my class e.g.:
public class SomeOtherClass
{
public SomeOtherClass()
{
MyClass mc = new MyClass();
mc.PropertyChanged += MyClass_PropertyChanged;
}
void MyClass_PropertyChanged(object sender, System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
MyClass mc = (MyClass)sender;
mc.UpdateChildren();
}
}
