I want to insert data from a form Data Base (used with entity Framwork), until the day I used the manual way as below.
var member = new MorEntities();
Person one_person = new Person
{
First_Name=txt_F_N.Text,
Family_Name = txt_L_N.Text,
}
member.People.AddObject(one_person);
member.SaveChanges();
To the best understood in WPF, there is a way in the XAML (binding), I checked online and could not understand, can anyone give a small example from which I will continue
You can uses so called Properties with public getters and setters and bind that to the textbox
public class MainViewModel : NotificationObject
{
public MainViewModel()
{
Person = new Person();
SaveCommand = new DelegateCommand(SaveExecuted);
}
// Properties
public Person Person { get; set; }
// Commands
public ICommand SaveCommand { get; set; }
private void SaveExecuted()
{
// Do some save logic here!
}
}
public class Person
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}
And in your textbox XAML
<TextBox Text="{Binding Person.FirstName}" />
<Button Command="{Binding SaveCommand}" Content="Save"/>
And in the codebehind add this line
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = new MainViewModel(); //Add this line
}
something like that dont forget to set the DataContext of the View to itself or another public object you want to use the properties of.
also take a look at MVVM nice way to use WPF and use separation of conserns
Make a button on you View called Save and Band this button to a Command like you do with the other properties And in the Execute method save to the Database or update.
the NotificationObject and DelegateCommand are from Prism 4
