Binding Row Selection to Command for MVVM pattern?

[M]

I have a telerik RadGridView that I would like to bind the row selection to a ICommand object, so my viewModel can execute it's code. I obviously cannot bind the SelectionChanged Event to a command, so I was wondering if there was another way to do this currently? Thank you for any assistance.

What I do is bind a property in my presentation model to the selected item and then fire an event when the selected item changes:

 

<telerik:RadGridView x:Name="List" AutoGenerateColumns="False" ItemsSource="{Binding MyList.Items}" SelectedItem="{Binding CurrentListItem, Mode=TwoWay}" >

 

public ListItem CurrentListItem

{

 

get

 

 

 

 

{ 

 

 

 

return currentListItem;

 

 

}

 

 

set

 

 

{

 

 

 

if (currentListItem != value)

 

 

{

currentListItem =

value;

 

 

 OnPropertyChanged(

 

"CurrentListItem"); 
if (currentListItem != null)  

{

eventAggregator.GetEvent<

ListItemSelectedEvent>().Publish(CurrentListItem.Id);

 

 

            }

        }

    }

}

Thanks, this solution works, but doesn't feel quite MVVM.  Seems like the controls could use a little tweaking to really harness the full power of WPF's data binding, but overall I am happy with what I am able to accomplish.

I'm glad I could help. This is the way that Microsoft does a similar thing in their reference implementation that comes with the Composite Application Guidance which generally follows MVVM. What about it does not quite feel right to you? If you come up with a better solution, please post it here.
