I am having troubles binding an observable collection to a treeview here is my code, seems to be 100% accurate but doesnt work. the purpose is to be able to click an album or a song and then show the info in the corresponding songinfo/album info tab.
at the moment i cannot even get just the album name to bind to the treeview.. let alone a sub group containing songs if the album contains any ( album 1 does )
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"

Title="MainWindow" Height="203" Width="524.579">
<Grid Margin="0,0,0,12">
<TreeView x:Name="AlbumListTree"

</DataTemplate>
</TreeView.ItemTemplate>
</TreeView>
<TabControl HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="141" Margin="191,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="186">
<TabItem Header="Album Info">
<Grid Background="#FFE5E5E5">
<Label x:Name="AlbumName" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="33" Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="130"/>
<Label x:Name="AlbumRelease" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="32" Margin="10,48,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="130"/>

</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="Song Info">
<Grid Background="#FFE5E5E5">
<Label x:Name="name" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="33" Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="130"/>
<Label x:Name="artist" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="32" Margin="10,48,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="130"/>

</Grid>
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
</Grid>
</Window>
here is my Song Class
namespace WpfApplication1
{
public class Song
{
public string artist;
public string name;
public int lenghtinSec;
public override string ToString()
{
return "" + name;
}
public Song(string f, string l, int lis)
{
name = l;
artist = f;
lenghtinSec = lis;
}
}
}
here is my album class
namespace WpfApplication1
{
public class Album
{
public string AlbumName;
public string AlbumRelease;
ObservableCollection<Song> songsAlbum;
public override string ToString()
{
return AlbumName;
}
public Album(String a, String b, ObservableCollection<Song> c)
{
AlbumName = a;
AlbumRelease = b;
songsAlbum = c;
}
public static ObservableCollection<Album> GetAlbumList()
{
return new ObservableCollection<Album>()
{
new Album("Get Rich ","Sept 4", new ObservableCollection<Song>{new Song("50 Cent ","In Da Club",155),
new Song("Eminem","Without Me",332),
new Song("Meek Mill","Dreams & Nightmares",213)}),
new Album("Shady Records","Sept 14",new ObservableCollection<Song>{})
};
}
}
}
and finally my C#
namespace WpfApplication1
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.Loaded += MainWindow_Loaded;
}
public ObservableCollection<Album> albumList { get; set; }
private void MainWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
albumList = Album.GetAlbumList();
AlbumListTree.DataContext = albumList;
}
private void AlbumListTree_SelectedItemChanged(object sender, RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<object> e)
{
Album selectedAlbum = (Album)AlbumList.SelectedItem;
AlbumName.Content = selectedAlbum.AlbumName;
AlbumRelease.Content = selectedAlbum.AlbumRelease;
}
}
}
