How to force TileView to reload its items?

[Cass]

Hi!

In the LargeContent view, I have a two-way databinding to objects within an ObservableCollection. Using a debugger, I know that the changes were sucessfully made to the objects. However, when I switch the screen to the NormalContent view, my changes to the objects' datafields are not displaying.

I think one way to solve the issue is to force TileView to reload its tiles within tileView_TileStateChanged. Is there something I can use to do this?

        private void tileView_TileStateChanged(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            RadTileViewItem item = e.Source as RadTileViewItem;

            if (item != null)
            {
                RadFluidContentControl fluidControl = item.ChildrenOfType<RadFluidContentControl>().First();
                if (fluidControl != null)
                {
                    switch (item.TileState)
                    {
                        case TileViewItemState.Maximized:
                            fluidControl.State = FluidContentControlState.Large;
                            break;
                        case TileViewItemState.Minimized:
                            fluidControl.State = FluidContentControlState.Small;
                            break;
                        case TileViewItemState.Restored:
//these are things that I have tried, but don't seem to have an effect:---
                            ObservableCollection<Employee> updatedEmployeeList = myModel.Employees;
                            this.tileView1.ItemsSource = updatedEmployeeList;
                            ((RadTileViewItem)e.Source).UpdateLayout();
//---
                            fluidControl.State = FluidContentControlState.Normal;
                            break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Thanks a lot!

Fixed it! Needed to RaisePropertyChanged on individual fields rather than the collection. whoops!

Hi Cass,

I know it has been a while, but could you please let me know how you managed to solve this? I know you raised the PropertyChanged event on individual fields. I have done the same thing but doesn't seem to work. I can see that the binding has worked hence I can display the value in SmallContent but nothing appears in the textbox in the LargeContent.

I have not implemented the codes after your comment lines. Is this required?

if possible, could you please send me a snippet of the codes ot a simple example?

Cheers!

Hi Deepak Shakya,

 Could you please send us a sample project or at least some code snippets, because at the moment I can't figure out where your problem might be? 

All the best,
