If id is the primary key, the mode should be one way; besides it should be clearly noted on your data source "Security_details".Make sure you have primary key and the system knows that from the data source "Security_details" .

Hi Shashank,Maybe you don't need MVVM. You should use MVVM only when you are writing a Business-Logic + UI and you want to separate them.If you are writing a control with UI-Logic you don't need to use MVVM! For example, lets say I've created a "Property Grid" control that reflects...

Hi if understand your question below is the solution you can give a try.You can simply use tooltip property of textbox and bind the text unless you dont want to do any complex or custom validations on your textbox.

A context menu is the menu that appears when you right-click on something. The color-picker's popup isn't a context menu, which is why the ContextMenuOpening event doesn't fire. And unless you've explicitly set the ContextMenu property, it will return null, which is why you're getting a...

Not 100% sure I get your question. Are you refering to binding the MainWindow to the values in the usercontrol?If so, you will need to add your usercontrol to the main window and give it a name (unique name / id). Once that is in place, your mainwindow elements can bind to the user control...

Sandeep,From what I gather you are declaring cdlist as a newly instanciated variable, but you are not filling it in with any data. Instead you are binding an empty list to your combobox. You need to add a method that returns you a list of ColectorDTO objects. Something like..cdlist =...

4 Nov 2013 by Alexander Dymshyts
In your xaml code, where you have textBoxes, you should bind thier text properties to your viewModel. Then, when the property is changing, you should make your graph plot to this values. You can also do it via binding - in your graph in xaml code you should bind x and y values of axis to a...

23 Nov 2013 by Tesfamichael G.
You don't need to go through toolbox -> choose items ->in tab WPF Components.Actually the components are available by default. However if the current window is code windows (a window were you can not drop a control into), the case you have mentioned could happen.Please explain it to me.

Considering you are "new" to WPF, why are you bothering with "ExtendedGridControl" when WPF has a "native" datagrid control? For all intents the "extended grid" is a "3rd party" grid that stood in until WPF got a "native" grid (a few years ago). Use the native WPF data grid control. The...
