IsInitialLoadEnable="True"

It fires when Data property is accessed for the first time, usually via data binding.  If you are not binding to this provider, you will need to call refresh manually to trigger the load.

Is set IsInitialLoadEnable="True" through the XAML of my CslaDataProvider, but the Factory method never seems to fire unless I call myProvider.Refresh() explicitly. Is this to be expected?

<csla:CslaDataProvider

x:Name="MyList"

FactoryMethod="BeginGetMyList"

IsInitialLoadEnabled="True"

DataChanged="MyList_DataChanged"

ObjectType="MyLibrary.MyList, MyLibrary">

<csla:CslaDataProvider.FactoryParameters>

<myLibrary:MyCriteria></myLibrary:MyCriteria>

</csla:CslaDataProvider.FactoryParameters>

</csla:CslaDataProvider>

I think this is not quite correct.  Should be more like

 

<ComboBox x:Name="ddlMtfList" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource MyListProvider}, Path=Data}" Style="{StaticResource ComboBoxStyle1}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1">

Thankyou, but yes I am binding.  I am binding a combo box to this provider. I know the binding works because my call to provider.Refresh() updates the binded source item to the combobox fine without.  Below is more code to show this. I am coding for Silverlight with Csla3.7

<ComboBox x:Name="ddlMtfList" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource MyListProvider.Data}}" Style="{StaticResource ComboBoxStyle1}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1">

<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=MyProperty}"></TextBlock>

</DataTemplate>

</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>

</ComboBox>

 

 

public partial class Page : UserControl

{

public Page()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

protected void Provider_DataChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

CslaDataProvider provider = sender as CslaDataProvider; //(CslaDataProvider)(this.Resources["BaseListProvider"]);

if (provider.Error != null)

System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Window.Alert(string.Format("{0}\n\n{1}", provider.Error.Message, provider.Error.ToString()));

}

private void btnRefresh_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

Csla.Silverlight.CslaDataProvider provider = this.Resources["MyListProvider"] as Csla.Silverlight.CslaDataProvider;

provider.Refresh();

}

}
