问题
I have a MainWindow containing a UserControl, both implemented in MVVM-pattern. The MainWindowVM has properties that I want to bind to properties in the UserControl1VM. But this doesn't work.
Here's some code (the viewmodels use some kind of mvvm-framework that implement the INotifyPropertyChanged in a ViewModelBase-class but that's hopefully no problem):
MainWindow.xaml:
<Window x:Class="DPandMVVM.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:DPandMVVM"
Title="MainWindow" Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
<local:UserControl1 TextInControl="{Binding Text}" />
</Grid>
</Window>
CodeBehind MainWindow.xaml.cs:
using System.Windows;
namespace DPandMVVM
{
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = new MainWindowVM();
}
}
}
MainWindow-ViewModel MainWindowVM.cs:
namespace DPandMVVM
{
public class MainWindowVM : ViewModelBase
{
private string _text;
public string Text { get { return _text; } }
public MainWindowVM()
{
_text = "Text from MainWindowVM";
}
}
}
And here the UserControl1.xaml:
<UserControl x:Class="DPandMVVM.UserControl1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300">
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding TextInTextBlock}" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
The Codebehind UserControl1.xaml.cs:
using System.Windows.Controls;
namespace DPandMVVM
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for UserControl1.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = new UserControl1VM();
}
}
}
And the Viewmodel UserControl1VM.cs:
using System.Windows;
namespace DPandMVVM
{
public class UserControl1VM : DependencyObject
{
public UserControl1VM()
{
TextInControl = "TextfromUserControl1VM";
}
public string TextInControl
{
get { return (string)GetValue(TextInControlProperty); }
set { SetValue(TextInControlProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty TextInControlProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("TextInControl", typeof(string), typeof(UserControl1VM));
}
}
With this constellation the DP cannot be found in MainWindow.xaml.
What am I doing wrong?
回答1:
First of all you want DependencyProperty TextInControl to be declared inside UserControl1 if you want to bind it from outside.
Move the declaration of DP inside of UserControl1.
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public string TextInControl
{
get { return (string)GetValue(TextInControlProperty); }
set { SetValue(TextInControlProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty TextInControlProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("TextInControl", typeof(string),
typeof(UserControl1));
}
Second you have externally set DataContext of UserControl to UserControl1VM,
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = new UserControl1VM(); <-- HERE (Remove this)
}
So WPF binding engine looking for property Text in UserControl1VM instead of MainWindowVM. Remove setting DataContext and update XAML of UserControl1 to this:
<UserControl x:Class="DPandMVVM.UserControl1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300"
x:Name="userControl1">
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding TextInTextBlock, ElementName=userControl1}" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Bind DP using ElementName by setting x:Name on UserControl.
UPDATE
In case you want to have ViewModel intact for UserControl, you have to update binding in MainWindow. Explicitly tell WPF binding engine to look for property in MainWindow's DataContext using ElementName in binding like this:
<local:UserControl1 TextInControl="{Binding DataContext.Text,
ElementName=mainWindow}" />
For this you need to set x:Name="mainWindow" on window root level.

The XAML of your control right now reference the property TextInTextBlock via the DataContext which in turn "Points" to your main window's view model. Reference the data of the control and you are done (btw do not set the DataContext for that reason - the binding won't work any more):
<UserControl x:Class="DPandMVVM.UserControl1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300"
x:Name="self">
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding TextInTextBlock, ElementName=self}" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>

I have a method that I believe is a lot simpler, and probably more true to MVVM.
In the main window XAML:
<myNameSpace:myUserControl DataContext="{Binding Status}"/>
In your main view model (the data context of the main window:
public myUserControlViewModel Status { set; get; }
now you can in the constructor (or whenever you want to instantiate it):
Status = new myUserControlViewModel();
then if you want to set the text property:
Status.Text = "foo";
and make sure you have the binding setup to a property named Text inside your myUserControlViewModel class:
<TextBox Text="{Binding Text}"/>
and make sure the property fires PropertyChanged, of-course.
Plus, if you use Resharper. You can create a Design instance of the UserControl in your XAML so that it can link the bindings and not tell you that the property is never used by doing this:
<UserControl x:Class="myNameSpace.myUserControl"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:myNameSpace="clr-namespace:myNameSpace"
d:DataContext="{d:DesignInstance myNameSpace.myUserControl}"
mc:Ignorable="d" ...>
This part:
xmlns:myNameSpace="clr-namespace:myNameSpace"
d:DataContext="{d:DesignInstance myNameSpace.myUserControl}"

This is how I do UserControls with MVVM and DP binding. It's similar to Rohit's answer but with some slight changes. Basically you need to set the Control's internal view model to be the DataContext of the root container within the UserControl rather than the UserControl itself, that way it will not interfere with DP bindings.
E.g.
UserControl XAML
<UserControl x:Class="DPandMVVM.UserControl1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300"
x:Name="userControl1">
<Grid x:Name="Root">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding TextFromVM}" />
</Grid>
UserControl Code-behind
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.ViewModel = new UserControlVM();
}
public UserControlVM ViewModel
{
get { return this.Root.DataContext as UserControlVM ; }
set { this.Root.DataContext = value; }
}
public string TextFromBinding
{
get { return (string)GetValue(TextFromBindingProperty); }
set { SetValue(TextFromBindingProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty TextFromBindingProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("TextFromBinding", typeof(string), typeof(UserControl1), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(null, OnTextBindingChanged));
private static void OnTextBindingChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var uc = d as UserControl1;
uc.ViewModel.TextFromVM = e.NewValue as string;
}
}
This means that the control derives it's values from the Root element DataContext which is our ViewModel but the ViewModel can be updated via a DP binding from outside the control (in your case a binding to the parent Window's ViewModel, see below)
Window XAML
<Window x:Class="DPandMVVM.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:DPandMVVM"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300"
x:Name="window1">
<Grid x:Name="Root">
<local:userControl1 TextFromBinding="{Binding TextFromWindowVM}" />
</Grid>

Here's a possible working solution for you. However, I've noted in a comment above that this will work in code and perhaps (like my situation) will show up as an error (Object Not Found) in the designer:
<local:UserControl1 TextInControl="{Binding DataContext.Text,
Source={x:Reference <<Your control that contains the DataContext here>>}}" />
I'd rather to have a cleaner solution, though, without any designer errors. I wish to find out how to properly bind a dependency property in a user control to a value coming from the window it's contained in. What I'm finding is that whatever I try to do (short of what I showed above), such as using ElementName and/or AncestorType/Level, etc., the debugger complains that it can't find the source and shows that it's looking for the source inside the context of the user control! It's like I can't break out of the user control context when doing Binding logic in the use of that control (other than that "designer-breaking" solution above).
UPDATE: I noticed that this might not work for you as your situation might force a problem I just noticed if I change my own source to reference the window instead of a control that has the data context. If I reference the window then I end up with a cyclical redundancy. Perhaps you'll figure out a way to use the Source version of the binding that will work okay for you.
I must also add that my situation is probably a bit more complex since my usercontrol is used in the context of a popup.
