Im tring to implement some generic logging in the entityframework 4.0 using theSavingChanges event in the entity contextI want to record details about any create/ update and deleted records including the id of the record being changed (which is always an int identity field). During the update and delete processes I can get the id for the record using
Dim AddedItems = Statemanager.GetObjectStateEntries(EntityState.Added)
For Each entry As ObjectStateEntry In DirectCast(sender, ObjectContext).ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntries(EntityState.Added)

i already add a datagridview combo. now what im asking is how can i make it the same as the DropDownStype which is DropDown and not just like a DropDownList?
View 1 RepliesI am novice in WPF. I have a wpftoolkit datagrid where i am using a combo box as datagridcombox column. I am using a observable collection of Codes for binding the combo box. Below is the collection and its class...
#Region "Class & Coll"
Public Class CodesColl
Inherits ObservableCollection(Of Codes)

Unable to display the codes in dropdown. Somehow i manged to do so but it disappears after loosing focus from the combobox. Unable to retrive the description on its selection change as , i am unable to find the event too.
I had a similar question for DatagridComboboxColumn but that shown me how to use the .itemsource to bind to an array outside of the datagrid. I am having a problem trying to bind to the collection that the datagrid is bound to at runtime.I have included a working test program for how I am approaching this.
Class MainWindow
Dim ServerInfoArray As List(Of ServerInfo) = New List(Of ServerInfo)
Private Sub GetInfo(ByVal list As List(Of String))
[code]....
I can get all Strings and Boolean to bind.I do not know how I can bind this DataGridComboBoxColumn to the list of attached on the property. I cannot use XAML as I need to do this at runtime.
I have a datagrid in my vb.net 4.0 wpf project. I have seen many examples in XAML on how to bind a DataGridComboBoxColumn however I need to do this in code as I have auto-generating columns. I switch the datagridbinding source to multiple data sets. Inside some of these custom classes are a couple lists. I can get text and checkboxes to auto-generate correctly. When it comes across my array (I have tried many different kinds) I just see a textboxcolumn with the words (Collection) in it.
For instance - One screen I am grabbing system information on WMI calls. One of the calls returns all IP addresses on the server (We can have up to 8 IP addresses) I do not want a column per IP address. I would like to include a list of those into the datagrid so you can drop down and see them.
Sample Code
Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel
Class MainWindow
Dim ServerInfoArray As ObservableCollection(Of ServerInfo) = New ObservableCollection(Of ServerInfo)

View 1 RepliesI have a datagridview that is populated using an oledbconnection:
Private Sub FileSpecs_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim cn As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & My.Settings.DBLocation & ";")Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("SELECT specFieldno AS [Field No],specFieldName AS [Field Name], specFieldType FROM fileSpecs WHERE ClientNo='" & ClientSetup.clientNo.Text & "' AND direction=" & ClientSetup.fileDir, cn)

The problem I now face is that the 'index' value of the combobox item for each row is in the field specFieldType which is populated into the datagrid.I need to be able to set the value of the ComboBox for each row when the form is opened, and also be able to save the index value of each row selection if any changes are made/saved.
I've been trying to use lookup tables to display names instead of ID's in a DataGridView using a DataGridComboBoxColumn and have even copied the example shown in the Forms over Data videos produced by Microsoft but still get the following error message:

I have a form called studentForm which has a studentCombobox, studentTextbox and a studentDatagridView
In the constructor of the studentForm I need to bind studentCombobox to the StudentbindingSource of the main form and to bind studentDataGridView to appropriate binding source in the mainForm.So that this datagrid view displays all the bookings for the studentID currently selected in studentComboBox
studentComboBox.DataSource = MainForm.StudentBindingSource
studentComboBox.DisplayMember = "StudentID"
studentDataGridView.DataSource = MainForm.StudentDataSet
studentDataGridView.DataMember = "Names "
This is the code I wrote in the constructor

I'm wondering if someone can point me towards a good article/tutorial explaining how to use the MVVM pattern in an WPF Application that uses WCF web services. My WPF client calls a service reference to get data objects that contain data from the database but from everything I've seen and read so far about MVVM I am still not clear on how to use MVVM to work with the data objects I am retrieving from the WCF services.
View 1 RepliesAlmost every example of MVVM I found is coded in C#, are there any examples/tutorials coded in VB.Net? I'm having a hard time translating C# to VB.Net since I haven't really used C# in any meaningful way...Also, does a MVVM Template/Toolkit for VB.Net exist yet?

I was wondering what the best approach is for sharing a menu across all wpf windows/views. My Application doesnt really fit the navigation model, so will probably use a Ribbon control. I am leaning towards creating a user control for the menu and dropping it on each view, but have also seen Josh Smith's msdn article, where he loads user controls.
View 2 RepliesIM Looking at Implementing MVVM in Silverlight.Kind of new to Silverlight and I'm Definately new to MVVM Pattern.I get it all But I want A set of small Prism VB.Net MVVM exmaples if that makes sense.
View 1 RepliesI have been getting up to speed with the MVVM pattern in Silverlight and was wondering how to implement binding from the View to the ViewModel when the ViewModel constructor has a parameter if an interface type.If I bind the viewmodel to the view in XAML then you can not use a parameterised constructor. Given that I was creating a default constructor passing an instance to the parameterised constructor but this breaks the abstraction.
View

Is it recommended to use the code behind of the view to pass into the parameterised constructor and then bind to the viewmodel?
I have just started using MVVM design pattern with unity and I'm strugling to work out how you add a constructor.my code currently works if I comment out my constructor that requires input the view gets added to the shell.

As my company migrates towards the .NET framework from VB6, it looks like we are going in the direction of WPF (my boss is in love with the Office-style Ribbon control). I've been working to mock one of our VB6 applications in WPF and decided to experiment with MVVM at the same time. I'm being discouraged from using an existing MVVM framework, so I guess I need to write my own. The biggest concern right now seems to be a method for registering and managing all my views from a central spot - a manager class - but I'm not exactly sure how to implement this.
View 4 RepliesPossible Duplicate:How can I handle a Validation.Error in my ViewModel instead of my View's code behind?The usual examples of how to use Data-Validation in WPF usually only involves defining an error template for the control and displaying the error message in the control tooltip. What I want to do is to create a collection of all ValidationErrors, display it in an ItemsControl to the user and focus the invalid control when the user clicks on the associated (error) item in the ItemsControl.
View 2 RepliesI'm hacking away at some code which seems to have been started, at least in theory, as an MVVM project in Expression Blend, by my predecessor at this company.
I've got a thread running in the background, which is running some operations on items as they happen. In order to prevent any clashes, I've also got that thread running any operations my users call for.
Once those operations are completed, I'd like to bring up a MessageBox to give a summary of the user-initiated operations, but now that they're running off in their own thread, the finishedProcessing event handler is now running on the background thread instead of the interface thread and it's causing my MessageBoxes to appear non-modally.
Back in the WinForms days, I'd have handled that using InvokeRequired, Invoke and a Delegate. I've read that this has been replaced by something called "Dispatcher", but the ViewModel class I'm using doesn't seem to have a Dispatcher object.
The "thisViewModel" class I'm using inherits a class called "WorkspaceViewModel", which inherits "ViewModelBase", both of which look generated to me...
where I can link up to this "Dispatcher" from here?

Something that has been confusing me for a while now with WPF MVVM is for example, when I have a base model containing nothing but a few properties and some validation code and I then build a view model around this base model, how should the view model be structured.
For Example:
Base Model ->
Imports ModellingHelper
Imports FTNHelper
[Code]....
What I am wondering is, if there is a better way to structure the view model to improve data binding, so I don't have to bind to Source.Name etc. How should I handle the base model in the view model?
I have been trying to do this for ages and having no joy whatsoever.
I have a ribbon window of the following hierarchy:
MainWindow
MainContent (Tab Control)
TabContainerViewModel
ViewModelBase
View model base has an ObservableCollection of tabs type ViewModelBase. The Tab Control itself is binding fine to these, displaying appropriate view models. I have 2 problems however, I want a "NotepadView" (Of type viewmodelbase) to be replicated numerous times (one view many view models).
At the minute, I have 4 views (NotePadViewModelx where x is 1-4) with corresponding viewmodels, this is because each view had the same text per tab. Now I have individual views per tab.
When I type into tab 1 and switch to tab 2, I lose what I typed in tab one when I click back.
