No data when using MVVM

[Fredrik]

I'v tried to follow a few of the how to do it but I do not get any data in my controller.

The code below is my latest attempt. If I create RadTreeViewItems in my ViewModel and then set them directly to the ItemsSource the treview is populated.

Can anyone see if I am missing something?

<UserControl.Resources>

        <viewmodels:FilterViewModel x:Key="FVM" />

        <DataTemplate x:Key="QualifierHDT"
                      DataType="{x:Type models:Qualifier}">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
        </DataTemplate>
        
        <HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="ComponentHDT"
                                  DataType="{x:Type models:Component}"
                                  ItemsSource="{Binding Components}"
                                  ItemTemplate="{StaticResource QualifierHDT}">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
        </HierarchicalDataTemplate>

        <HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="SystemCollectionHDT"
                                  DataType="{x:Type models:SystemCollection}"
                                  ItemsSource="{Binding SystemCollections}"
                                  ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ComponentHDT}">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
        </HierarchicalDataTemplate>

        <HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="BuildingHDT"
                                  DataType="{x:Type models:Building}"
                                  ItemsSource="{Binding Buildings}"
                                  ItemTemplate="{StaticResource SystemCollectionHDT}">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
        </HierarchicalDataTemplate>

        <HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="AreaHDT"
                                  DataType="{x:Type models:Area}"
                                  ItemsSource="{Binding Areas}"
                                  ItemTemplate="{StaticResource BuildingHDT}">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
        </HierarchicalDataTemplate>


        <Style x:Key="ItemContainerStyle" TargetType="{x:Type telerik:RadTreeViewItem}">
            <Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding Path=Selected}"/>
            <Setter Property="IsExpanded" Value="{Binding Path=Expanded}"/>
        </Style>
    
        <helpers:FilterViewTemplateSelector x:Key="myDataTemplateSelector"
                                            AreaTemplate="{StaticResource AreaHDT}"
                                            BuildingTemplate="{StaticResource BuildingHDT}"
                                            SystemCollectionTemplate="{StaticResource SystemCollectionHDT}"
                                            ComponentTemplate="{StaticResource ComponentHDT}"
                                            QualifierTemplate="{StaticResource QualifierHDT}"/>
        
    </UserControl.Resources>

 

 <telerik:RadTreeView MinWidth="200px"
                             ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource FVM}}"
                             ItemTemplate="{StaticResource AreaHDT}"
                             ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ItemContainerStyle}"
                             ItemTemplateSelector="{StaticResource myDataTemplateSelector}">
        </telerik:RadTreeView>

Hello Fredrik,

Thank you for the shared code snippets. 

Looking at them, the ItemsSource of the RadTreeView points directly to the "FilterViewModel". While I am not sure how it is defined, I am assuming that it contains a collection of the "first-level" objects. If that is the case, you should point the ItemsSource binding to the corresponding property. To debug such scenarios you can check for binding errors in the Output Window of Visual Studio. 

Another thing that I noticed is that both the ItemTemplate and the ItemTemplateSelector properties are set. Note, that the two of them are redundant and only the ItemTemplate will be respected.

Should you need any further assistance, you can share a sample project in a new support ticket (since project files cannot be attached to forum posts) and I will be glad to investigate the scenario.

Regards,
Vladimir Stoyanov
