I'm trying to bind an Infragistics xamDataGrid to a read only list base with no success. I've also tried a plain combo box with the same result. The XMLDataProvider below works fine. The CSLADataProvider does not.
I set up the following as a test:
<Grid.Resources>
<XmlDataProvider x:Key="JobDataXML" XPath="/Jobs">
<x:XData>
<Jobs xmlns="">
<Job JobNo="01356" jobTitle="in">
<AddressStreet>Street A</AddressStreet>
<PercentCompleted>100</PercentCompleted>
</Job>
<Job JobNo="01245" jobTitle="in">
<AddressStreet>Street B</AddressStreet>
<PercentCompleted>80</PercentCompleted>
</Job>
<Job JobNo="01357" jobTitle="out">
<AddressStreet>Street C</AddressStreet>
<PercentCompleted>0</PercentCompleted>
</Job>
<Job JobNo="0945" jobTitle="in">
<AddressStreet>Street D</AddressStreet>
<PercentCompleted>75</PercentCompleted>
</Job>
<Job JobNo="09876" jobTitle="out">
<AddressStreet>Street E</AddressStreet>
<PercentCompleted>100</PercentCompleted>
</Job>
</Jobs>
</x:XData>
</XmlDataProvider>
</Grid.Resources>
<igDP:XamDataGrid x:Name="JobDataGrid" DataSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource JobDataXML},XPath=Job}" Grid.Row="1" GroupByAreaLocation="AboveDataArea">
The above works fine.
I then try the CSLA version in the same XAML file.
<Grid.Resources>
<csla:CslaDataProvider x:Key="JobList"
ObjectType="{x:Type SALib:JobListExtended}"
FactoryMethod="GetList"
IsAsynchronous="True"
IsInitialLoadEnabled="False">
</csla:CslaDataProvider>
</Grid.Resources>
<igDP:XamDataGrid x:Name="JobDataGrid" DataSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource JobList}}" Grid.Row="1" >
With this the grid comes up blank even though I know there is data.
I've also tried the following in the code-behind:
private void OnInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
JobDataGrid.DataContext = ServiceApp.Library.JobListExtended.GetList();
}
In this case the DataContext is poulated correctly but still the grid is displayed empty.
Could it be that the use of generics is causing a problem?
The Infragistics help says that the DataSource must implement IEnumerable. Is this the same with the standard combo control? Is this a problem in the context of CSLA?
