Unable to assign ItemsSource property to GridView in CodeBehind

[Syed Nadeem]

Hi,

I have TabControlcalled mainTabs with a TabItem called CurrentTasks. In the CurrentTasks TabItem I show a GridView(say RadGridView1)  with a list of tasks which works fine. This GridViewis populated in code behind with an ObservableCollection.

As per the logic, eachtask in the RadGridView1 has some dependent tasks called PredecessorsTasks(tasks that were completed before the selected task was assigned) andSuccessor Tasks(tasks assigned to other users which are depending on thecurrent task to be completed by the current user).

Now, I want to makethe rows of this RadGridView1 expandable so that I can show thedetails of selected Task in two tabs as Predecessor Tab and Successor Tab. Eachof these tabs would have a GridView(say InnerRadGridView1 andInnerRadGridView2) showing a list of tasks respectively.

I am trying to assignthe ItemsSource Property for  InnerRadGridView1 programatically to anObservableCollection in the code behind. The problem is that it does not showany intellisence for me to access the InnerRadGridView1 (for eg. Iwant to assign it as   InnerRadGridView1 .ItemsSource = Tasks;where Tasks is my ObservableCollection). 

Pleaseprovide me a solution to this issue. Im really stuck.

I am also attaching ascreenshot of what exactly the navigation flow of my application is.

Hi Syed,

Why not use InnerRadGridView1 Loaded event (attached in xaml) to assign ItemsSource for this grid? Sender argument of the event is the grid itself.

Hi Vlad,

I'm a complete newbie to Telerik. Could you send me a sample application which suits the flow? I hope that would help me better.

Cheers,

Hi Syed,

All you need is to declare this event (Loaded) in XAML for desired grid and in the code behind cast sender argument to RadGridView and assign ItemsSource.

Hi Vlad,

I have done as you suggested, by specifying the Loaded method in the XAML code and in the code behind too. But when I run the code, the expansion doesnt happen, thereby not loading the Tabs. Nor is the Loaded method hit in debuggging mode.

XAML code

<!- This is the part of code from the Outer GridView's RowDetails Template->

<grid:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>

    <DataTemplate>

        <navigation:RadTabControl BackgroundVisibility="Collapsed" x:Name="RadTabControl1" Width="900" Margin="10" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="Transparent" controls:StyleManager.Theme="Office_Black">

            <navigation:RadTabItem Header="Predecessors" Height="24" Foreground="Black">

                <Border BorderBrush="#FF848484" BorderThickness="0,1,0,0">

                    

                    <grid:RadGridView x:Name="PredecessorGridView"

                                                      

                                                      Height="300" 

                                                      RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed" 

                                                      AutoGenerateColumns="False" 

                                                      Loaded="PredecessorsGridView_Loaded"

 CanUserFreezeColumns="False" 

                                                      BorderThickness="0" 

                                                      CanUserResizeColumns="False"

 ShowGroupPanel="False" 

                                                      dragdrop:RadDragAndDropManager.AllowDrag="False"  

 Margin="0" 

 Width="900">

                        <grid:RadGridView.Columns>

                            <grid:GridViewDataColumn  DataMemberBinding="{Binding Game}" Header="Game"></grid:GridViewDataColumn>

                            <grid:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" Header="Task"></grid:GridViewDataColumn>

                            <grid:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding DueDate}" Header="Due Date"></grid:GridViewDataColumn>

                            <grid:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Status}" Header="Status"></grid:GridViewDataColumn>

                            <grid:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Priority}" Header="Priority"></grid:GridViewDataColumn>

                        </grid:RadGridView.Columns>

                    </grid:RadGridView>

                </Border>

            </navigation:RadTabItem>

        </navigation:RadTabControl>

    </DataTemplate>

</grid:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>

XAML.cs Code

        private void InnerRadGridView_Loaded(RadGridView sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        {

                    TaskInfo t1 = OuterRadGridView.SelectedItem as TaskInfo;

                     

                         webSerciveClient.AllDependantTasksCompleted += new EventHandler<EngineerView.TaskManagerServiceReference.AllDependentTasksCompletedEventArgs>(Populate_PredecessorGrid);

                    webSerciveClient.AllDependantTasksAsync(currentUserId, t1.TaskId );

                    //dependentTasks is a ObservableCollection which is populated in the handler function 'Populate_PredecessorGrid'

                    sender.ItemsSource = dependentTasks;   

        }

Any clues?

Cheers,

Syed.
