CellTemplate With Textboxes

[Jonah]

In my gridview, I have a column that I need to make into a template as follows.
​ <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Contact" DataMemberBinding="{Binding CustAccountsLocationContact.FirstName}">
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding CustAccountsLocationContact.FirstName}" />
<TextBlock Text=" " />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding CustAccountsLocationContact.LastName}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>


When I save and reload with persistence framework, the binding no longer works. Is there a work around for this? or do I just need to add 2 columns?

Thank you,
Jonah

Hi Jonah,

Keep in mind that if your bindings Mode is set to OneWay the PersistenceFramework may not save them correctly. In order to save the bindings you can set their Mode to TwoWay or exclude the elements with those bindings from the persisted controls. Here is an example in code:

<Grid>
    <telerik:PersistenceManager.SerializationOptions>
        <telerik:SerializationMetadataCollection>
            <telerik:PropertyNameMetadata Condition="Except"
                             Expression="Children"
                             SearchType="PropertyName" />
        </telerik:SerializationMetadataCollection>
    </telerik:PersistenceManager.SerializationOptions>
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
</Grid>

This will not persist the properties of the elements in the Grid's Children collection (in this case only the TextBlock).

You can also take a look at the following forum.

Please let me know if this helps.

I tried setting the binding mode to twoway and that didn't seem to change anything. The only thing I am saving the settings for is the GridView so if I except the children of that, wouldn't it make saving anything pointless? below is my full gridview xaml, there are other controls on the page that I am not saving.

Hi Jonah,

I prepared a project with the provided Xaml from your last reply, but I wasn't able to reproduce the bindings issue. I am saving the columns sorting, grouping and filtering with the PersistenceFramework. In addition I attached the project. Please give it a try and let me know if I am missing something.

If the project doesn't help, can you tell me how and what exactly you are saving. Also can you provide me with a sample project that isolates the issue. This will allow me to test it locally and investigate the reason behind the reported behavior.

Regards,
Martin

Thank you, I added IsVisble to the column Proxy and applied the save & restore and that worked great.
