Hello All,

ran into a snag that i have never ran into before,

so i am trying to talk between multiple view models and have the current stuff that is being edited displayed on the screen that i managed to setup,

the issue i have is the binding to the string property i created telling me it cant bind to it due to the signature not being accepted

what i have

ViewModelBase Class

public static event EventHandler<string> MyStaticPropertyChanged;

private static string _myStaticProperty;
public static string MyStaticProperty
{
    get { return _myStaticProperty; }
    set
    {
        _myStaticProperty = value;
        MyStaticPropertyChanged?.Invoke(null, value);
    }
}


this is just a place holder that is why i named it my static property ,

in PumpModelViewModel

public  void UpdatePumpState(PumpStateModel updatedPumpState)
{
    //var index = Pumps.IndexOf(updatedPumpState);
    //if (index >= 0)
    //{
    //    Pumps[index] = updatedPumpState;
    //}

    // test to see if i can update the database with mvvm patterne

    // lets call the update methord
    try
    {
        OnStringUpdated(null, "Test String");
        StringUpdatedEvent.RaiseStringUpdated(ViewModelBase.MyStaticProperty);
        pumpstatemodel.savepump(updatedPumpState);
    }
    catch(Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Error 12 Found In UpdatePumpState " +  ex.Message);
    }

}


the on string updated method,

private void OnStringUpdated(object sender, string updatedString)
{
   ViewModelBase.MyStaticProperty = updatedString;
}


then in the MainViewModel


in the constuctor,
ViewModelBase.MyStaticPropertyChanged += OnMyStaticPropertyChanged;



private void OnMyStaticPropertyChanged(object sender, string e)
{
    OnPropertyChanged(nameof(MyStaticProperty));
}



public string MyStaticProperty
{
    get { return ViewModelBase.MyStaticProperty; }
    set { ViewModelBase.MyStaticProperty = value; }
}


then i bind to the above MyStaticPropery and i get the following error ,

Cannot bind to the target method because its signature is not compatible with that of the delegate type.


any help would be much appreciated.

What I have tried:

Searched on internet and other forms but not able to find a resolve for this issue.

Which line of the code you've posted shows that error?

You have a static and a property both named the same; and show no XAML bindings. Yes; things are confused. At the very least, name them differently so you're "sure" where you're coming from.

Is MainViewModel derived from ViewModelBase? If so the binding is being confused by the two MyStaticProperty definitions.

Try making the ViewModelBase MyStaticProperty protected (to hide it from the view) or rename MyStaticProperty (in either class).
