Diagram Save/Load Binding Bug :(

[SPARE GmbH]

Hy,

I've got the following Problem.
If i Save the Diagram to String and Load the string back into the same Diagram, my binding doesn't work anymore.
Bug inside the Diagram Framework or OSI Layer 9 (20 cm in the front of the monitor) ?


XAML:

<telerik:RadDiagramShape x:Class="SPARE_BPMS_Framework.Shapes.General.ProcessShape"
             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" Content="{Binding}"
             xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
             d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300">

    <telerik:RadDiagramShape.Resources>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="editTemplate">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                <TextBox Height="24" Text="{Binding Name}" />
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="template">
            <WrapPanel Orientation="Vertical">
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding ChildProcessName}" />
            </WrapPanel>

        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadDiagramShape.Resources>
</telerik:RadDiagramShape>

Code Behinde

public partial class ProcessShape : RadDiagramShape
    {
        public ProcessItem Model { get; set; }

        public string Name { get; set; }

        public ProcessShape()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            Model = new ProcessItem();

            this.EditTemplate = (DataTemplate)this.FindResource("editTemplate");
            this.ContentTemplate = (DataTemplate)this.FindResource("template");

            this.DataContext = Model;

            this.MouseDoubleClick += new MouseButtonEventHandler(Model.shape_MouseDoubleClick);
        }

        public void Update()
        {
            this.EditTemplate = (DataTemplate)this.FindResource("editTemplate");
            this.ContentTemplate = (DataTemplate)this.FindResource("template");

        }


    }

Method who call the Reload and Load

string temp = diagram.Save();
                diagram.Clear();
            diagram.Load(temp);

Greetings

Hello Alfred,

 This is already answered in support thread, but I'll summarize the idea so that other guys can benefit of it.
Every time a diagram is deserialized (loaded), all the shapes are newly created, so all Binding related properties (DataContext, Templates)  should be manually set, since they are not saved by the diagram. (Here is the list of saved properties).
So here is the example code that should set the appropriate properties.

(e.Shape as RadDiagramShape).Content = new DataItem();
(e.Shape as RadDiagramShape).ContentTemplate = this.grid.FindResource("template") as DataTemplate;
(e.Shape as RadDiagramShape).EditTemplate = this.grid.FindResource("editTemplate") as DataTemplate;
