I want to be able to choose either "true" or "false"(boolean) from a ComboBox that is within a wpf Datagrid and be able to save that choice to my database.
I want to be able to indicate inside of a column if the row is "Active" or not through a boolean variable saved to my database as a bit(1 = true; 0 = false).
Here is my create table statement:
Create Table Statement(AccountType)
I populate the datagrid using an ObservableCollection as follows:
protected override void Get()
{
using (var dbContext = new IEMASEntitiesDataContext())
{
var accountType = from s in dbContext.AccountTypes select s;
var observable = new ObservableCollection<AccountType>(accountType);
Collection = observable;
}
}
My XAML code is as follows:
<DockPanel DataContext="{StaticResource ResourceKey=AccountTypeViewModel}" LastChildFill="True">
<ToolBar DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<Button Content="Display" Command="{Binding GetCommand}" Width="78"/>
<Button Content="Save" Command="{Binding SaveCommand}" Width="78"/>
</ToolBar>
<Grid>
<GroupBox x:Name="AccountTypeGroupBox">
<DataGrid x:Name="DataGridAccountType" ItemsSource="{Binding Collection}" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="AccountType" Width="150" Binding="{Binding Path=AccountTypeName, Mode=TwoWay, NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/>
<DataGridComboBoxColumn Header="Active" Width="100" SelectedValueBinding="{Binding StatusList, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" SelectedValuePath="AccountTypeId" DisplayMemberPath="Active"/>
<DataGridTemplateColumn Width="50" Header="Delete">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button x:Name="btnDelete" Content="Delete" Command="{Binding DeleteCommand}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
</GroupBox>
</Grid>
</DockPanel>
It doesn't work. Nothing displays within the comboboxes, and I don't know how to save the selected item to the SQL Server database when it does display. I'd appreciate some help, please. I am using LINQ TO SQL. I am a newbie :-(.
As I can understand the problem is how to bind some XAML resource as a combo ItemsSource and in addtion how to binnd the selected value of a combo to the model behind the DataGrid row.

Hope it will help you.
