Update viewmodel based on MainWindow event

问题:

I have a UdpClient, firing off a DataRecevied event on my MainWindow:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public static YakUdpClient ClientConnection = new YakUdpClient();
    public ClientData;

    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        Loaded += OnLoaded;
    }

    private void OnLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs routedEventArgs)
    {
        ClientData = new ClientData();
        ClientConnection.OnDataReceived += ClientConnectionOnDataReceived;
    }

    private void ClientConnectionOnDataReceived(object sender, MessageEventArgs messageEventArgs)
    {
        ClientData.Users = messageEvenArgs.ConnectedUsers;
    }
}

My ClientData and User classes look as follow:

public class ClientData
{
    public List<User> Users {get;set;)
}

public class User
{
    public string Name {get;set;}
}

On my MainWindow, I have a UserControl called UserListView which has a ViewModel called UserListViewModel

The ViewModel looks as follow:

public class UserListViewModel: BindableBase
{
    public UserListViewModel()
    {
        //I am sure there are better ways of doing this :(
        Users = new ObservableCollection<User>((MainWindow)Application.Current.MainWindow).ClientData.Users
    });

    private ObservableCollection<User> _users;
    public ObservableCollection<User> Users
    {
        get{ return _users;}
        set { this.SetProperty(ref this._users, value); }
    }
}

The difficulty I have here, is when the ClientConnectionOnDataReceived event on the MainWindow gets fired, I would like to update my ClientData class, My Viewmodel should then somehow be notified that the list changed, and subsequently update my UI.

Can anyone give me a solid example of how to achieve this using MVVM (Prism) in WPF?

I am new to MVVM, so i am still trying to figure this out.

回答1:

First of all, there's no obvious reason why the main window should do the subscription.

I'd go for something like this:

• create a service that encapsulates the subscription (and subscribes in its constructor)
• register that as a singleton
• have it implement INotifyPropertyChanged (to notify consumers of a change to Users)
• inject the service into UserListViewModel and observe the Users property (see PropertyObserver)
• when Users in the service changes, update Users in the user list view model

and best of all, no need for ObservableCollection here :-)

EDIT: example:

interface IUserService : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    IReadOnlyCollection<User> Users
    {
        get;
    }
}

class YakUdpService : BindableBase, IUserService
{
    private readonly YakUdpClient _yakUdpClient;
    private IReadOnlyCollection<User> _users;

    public YakUdpService()
    {
        _yakUdpClient = new YakUdpClient();
        _yakUdpClient.OnDataReceived += ( s, e ) => Users = e.ConnectedUsers;
    }

    public IReadOnlyCollection<User> Users
    {
        get
        {
            return _users;
        }
        private set
        {
            SetProperty( ref _users, value );
        }
    }
}

class UserListViewModel : BindableBase
{
    private IReadOnlyCollection<UserViewModel> _users;
    private readonly IUserService _userService;
    private readonly PropertyObserver<IUserService> _userServiceObserver;

    public UserListViewModel( IUserService userService )
    {
        _userService = userService;
        _userServiceObserver = new PropertyObserver<IUserService>( userService );
        _userServiceObserver.RegisterHandler( x => x.Users, () => Users = _userService.Users.Select( x => new UserViewModel( x ) ).ToList() );
        //                                                                                                ^^^ should use factory in real code
    }

    public IReadOnlyCollection<UserViewModel> Users
    {
        get
        {
            return _users;
        }
        private set
        {
            SetProperty( ref _users, value );
        }
    }
}

and then register the service

Container.RegisterType<IUserService, YakUdpService>( new ContainerControlledLifetimeManager() );

in your bootstrapper or your module's initialization.
