Load data asynchronously using an XMLDataProvider

[Norbert John]

Hello,

How can I load the data asynchronously using an XMLDataProvider. Following is the code I tried. I have set IsAsynchronous to true. But financialInfoProvider.Data is returning Nothing in the below code snippet.

Dim financialInfoProvider As New XmlDataProvider()
Dim finacialInfoXMLPath As String = String.Empty
finacialInfoXMLPath = BuildFinancialInfoXML()
financialInfoProvider.IsAsynchronous = True
financialInfoProvider.Source = New Uri(finacialInfoXMLPath, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)
financialInfoProvider.XPath = "/RemainingFinancialInfo/Property"
m_GridDataSource = New ObservableCollection(Of XmlNode)(DirectCast(financialInfoProvider.Data, IEnumerable(Of XmlNode)))

Thanks and Regards,
Norbert John

Hello,

 Since the provider is asynchronous you cannot expect that .Data will be available immediately. Why not bind the grid ItemsSource directly in XAML instead to the Data property of your provider? 

Kind regards,
