Event when a particular column's cell changes

I have the following GridViewDataColumns -

PRICE PER UNIT QUANTITY TOTAL COST (price/unit x quantity)

I want to update the total cost when either the unit price or the quantity changes. I'm not able to find the perfect event. I am not using CurrentCellChanged because that event will fire when cells in other columns change too (I have more columns than i've mentioned here).

Do help me out team !!!

Thanx.

Pushpin image not drawn in correct location

I'm using the RadMap control for an address location project. From a list, the user selects an address (lat, lon) and a Bing map is centered in the RadMap control. This works just fine. The map is drawn with the selected address centered in the RadMap control.

Now, I want to add a pushpin at the address location. Using the code below, my image is inserted but not at the correct location. The center of the 16x16 pushpin is actually the upper left corner of the RadMap control. The pushpin needs to be in the center (at least initially) of the RadMap. If the user zooms and/or pans, the pushpin also needs to pan/zoom in order to show the selected address.

This does not appear to an issue with screen coordinates vs. geographic coordinates. The upper left corner of the RadMap is 300,400 and the geographic coords are +45 (N), -90 (W). If I move the RadMap around in design and run the app again, the pushpin is always in the upper left corner.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Scott

Binding Problem

Hi,

i'm using this build - RadControls_for_WPF_2009_3_1314_TRIAL.msi

coding with C# 3.5 on vs2008 and windows xp.

i got a little problem with binding of the control.

i have the following XAML:

                    <radInput:RadDatePicker Name="myDatePicker" />         
            <Label Content="{Binding ElementName=myDatePicker, Path=SelectedDate}" />         

the label doesn't show the Selected Date, am i doing something wrong?

i've tried to make the same binding with TextBlock or TextBox and the same problem exists.

i've tried to bind RadTimePicker to these controls with the same Binding syntax and it doesn't work either.

thanks in advance,

Lior.

Virtual Paging and Scrolling for GridView

The ASP.NET controls library has the ability to load items on-demand as the vertial scroll bar in a Grid is moved up or down. Does the WPF GridView have a similar capability or am I limited to the standard paging layouts used, i.e. RadDataPager?

XML Data and Two Way Binding

Hello all,
I am trying to create a configuration window that binds to an external XML file and implements two way binding in XAML. I have basically used the RadGridView demo as a starting point and have started to modify my code to implement the the two way binding piece, however I have hit a road block.

First off I am wondering whether I should use a DependencyObject or implement INotifiedProperty. At this point I am using a DependencyObject, however my textboxes do not appear to bind to the data, but the RadGridView does.

Basically I want to use the RadGridView as a list box on steroids and use the textboxes to edit/add records. However since this is an external xml file I am bit confused on what direction to take. Also I am using a ObservableCollection as my datasource, just as you do in the RadGridView demo, but I have also played around with using a XMLDataProvider. Any suggestions here?

Below are the basic classes I have so far.

Thanks for your help!

Cell Template Selector ?

Hello,

I have table with a XML-Column (XElement). I would like to format the cell according to the specified XML-Data, so I was looking for a GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplateSelector but I did not found one.

Do you have an easy way to get this behaviour?

I have several DataTemplates for the XMLs which I want to use.

I was trying to style the GridViewCell and set the ContentControl.ContentTemplateSelector but this was not recognized by the RadGridView.

Do I have any other oportunities ?
