jumpList and MVVM

[Felix]

Hello

I´m traying to use juplist with MVVM


my VM it´s somthing like this 

 

private ObservableCollection<GenericGroupDescriptor<string, string>> _groupbyfirst;
public ObservableCollection<GenericGroupDescriptor<string, string>> GroupByFirst
{
    get { return _groupbyfirst; }
    set
    {
        _groupbyfirst = value;
        NotifyPropertyChanged("GroupByFirst");
    }
}
........
 GroupByFirst = new ObservableCollection<GenericGroupDescriptor<string, string>>();
GroupByFirst.Add(new GenericGroupDescriptor<string, string>(RazonSocial => RazonSocial.Substring(0, 1).ToLower()));

and my Model

<telerikDataControls:RadJumpList Grid.Row="1" x:Name="Clientes" ItemsSource="{Binding Clientes, Mode=TwoWay}"
               SelectedItem="{Binding Seleccionado, Mode=TwoWay}"

               GroupDescriptorsSource="{Binding GroupByFirst}"
               FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeMediumLarge}" Margin="0,50,0,0"
               ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}">
               </telerikDataControls:RadJumpList >

I don´t Know what I doing wrong but I can´t group data.

There are anu example about this?

Thanks

Hi Felix,

This is a quick follow-up to inform you that the Support ticket you have sent us has been handled.

In short, the issue was caused by type mismatch between the View Model property definition and the property defined by RadJumpList.

RadJumpList exposes the GroupDescriptorsSource property which is IEnumerable<DataDescriptor>, whereas your View Model exposes a property of type ObservableCollection<GenericGroupDescriptor>. The issue here is related to the difference between the GenericGroupDescriptor and DataDescriptor usage for the generic definition. ObservableCollection is IEnumerable which is OK, but since Generics are not inheritable, DataDescriptor is considered different from GenericGroupDescriptor, although the latter inherits from DataDescriptor.

I hope this helps.
