RadComboBox Selection from Binding Problems

[igal a]

i am working with version 2010.3.1110.35
i have this in the listbox itemTemplate

<

 

telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="FieldComboBox" Grid.Column="0" ItemsSource="{Binding Fields}" SelectedItem="{Binding Field,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=TwoWay}" />

 

 

Field returns a class that implements

INotifyPropertyChanged

and Fields returns a List<Field>



now when i ran the application, if i set a breakpoint on get field, i can see it is trying to get it,
and that the value returned is correct

but when gui is finished loading

selectedindex is set to -1 and selecteditem and selectedvalue is set to null , and combobox doesn't show the selection of the field


but if i change the line into

<ComboBox x:Name="FieldComboBox" Grid.Column="0" ItemsSource="{Binding Fields}" SelectedItem="{Binding Field,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=TwoWay}" />

and use the regular wpf combobox it will work


it only happens when it's loaded , after it's loaded if i change stuff , it will work , but the first time doesn't work


how can i solved this?

thanks

Hello,

I tried to reproduce the problem, but to no avail. Attached you can find the sample. For the second RadComboBox the selected item is an object Field with Name = "Name 4". 

All the best,

i solved it ,
i implemented Equals and GetHashCode on the field class
and it worked

probably it compared different instances

Hey igal,

I have the same issue here with a telerik combobox. Can you please explain your solution in detail. Didn't really get it...Thx in advance.

Hello Ronny,

I guess he used Equals method in order to compare the objects by their properties and in this way to ensure that SelectedValue will be set correctly.

The next code snipped represents a sample Equals() method:

public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
    var field = obj as Field;

    if (field != null)
        return field.Name == this.Name;
    else
        return base.Equals(obj);
}
