WPF Binding to Web Service Example

WPF > Binding > Web Service

Add reference to your Web service. We will use com.microsoft.msdn.services as example:

 



XAML:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.MainWindow"

        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="300" Width="300"
       xmlns:src="clr-namespace:WpfApplication2"
        >
    <Grid>
        <ListView  ItemsSource="{Binding Path=availableVersionsAndLocales}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="240" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="266">
            <ListView.View>
                <GridView>
                    <GridViewColumn  DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=locale}" Header="Locale" />
                    <GridViewColumn  DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=version}" Header="Version" />
                </GridView>
            </ListView.View>
        </ListView>
   </Grid>
</Window>

C# Code:

using WpfApplication2.com.microsoft.msdn.services;

namespace WpfApplication2

{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    ///
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            getContentRequest request = new getContentRequest();
            request.contentIdentifier = "abhtw0f1";
            ContentService proxy = new ContentService();
            this.DataContext = proxy.GetContent(request);
        }
    }
}

Result:

Filter DataGrid WPF C# Example

WPF > Controls > ItemControls > DataGrid > Filter

Using ICollectionView to filter datagrid. 

XAML:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.MainWindow"

        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
         xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
         Title="MainWindow" Height="447.91" Width="514.871" Loaded="Window_Loaded">

    <Grid Margin="0,0,2,81">
        <DataGrid x:Name="dg" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="413" Width="507"  AutoGenerateColumns="False" Margin="0,0,-2,-76">
            <DataGrid.Columns>
                <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Id}"
                                Header="Id">
                    <DataGridTextColumn.HeaderTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Content, RelativeSource=
                                         {RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}}"/>
                                <TextBox x:Name="txtId" Width="100" TextChanged="txtName_TextChanged"  />
                            </StackPanel>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </DataGridTextColumn.HeaderTemplate>
                </DataGridTextColumn>
                <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Name}"
                                Header="Name">

                            </StackPanel>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </DataGridTextColumn.HeaderTemplate>
                </DataGridTextColumn>
            </DataGrid.Columns>
        </DataGrid>
    </Grid>
</Window>
