The code below is based off of this post:
My problem: I can't see what I'm doing wrong to get INotifyPropertyChanged to cause the textBox1 binding to automatically reflect changes in this simple example.
XAML. I added textBox2 to confirm the property was changing
<StackPanel>
<Button Margin="25" Content="Change the Value" Click="Button_Click"/>
<Label Content="{}{Binding MyTextProperty}"/>
<TextBox Name="textBox1" Text="{Binding MyTextProperty}"/>
<Label Content="updated using code behind"/>
<TextBox Name="textBox2" />
</StackPanel>
CodeBehind
Partial Class MainWindow
Private vm = New ViewModel
Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
DataContext = New ViewModel()
textBox2.Text = vm.MyTextProperty
End Sub
Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
vm.ChangeTextValue()
textBox2.Text = vm.MyTextProperty
End Sub
End Class
ViewModel
Public Class ViewModel
Implements INotifyPropertyChanged
Private _MyTextValue As String = String.Empty
Public Property MyTextProperty() As String
Get
Return _MyTextValue
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_MyTextValue = value
NotifyPropertyChanged("MyTextProperty")
End Set
End Property
Public Sub New()
MyTextProperty = "Value 0"
End Sub
Public Sub ChangeTextValue()
MyTextProperty = Split(MyTextProperty)(0) & " " & Split(MyTextProperty)(1) + 1
End Sub
Public Event PropertyChanged As PropertyChangedEventHandler _
Implements INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged
Private Sub NotifyPropertyChanged(ByVal propertyName As String)
RaiseEvent PropertyChanged(Me, New PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName))
End Sub
End Class
Aside from whatever mistake I'm making, any other comments about anything written that would be improved by a best practice, please advise; such as declaring the ViewModel or setting up the StaticResource. I am learning WPF and MVVM as the same time right now.
