How to use ValidatesOnDataErrors on a TextBox inside an ItemsControl
I'm trying to have a TextBox's content be validated using IDataErrorInfo. The source of the list below is a List and each item is display. When i put ValidatesOnDataErrors=True
in the Binding for the Text on the TextBox, it's not working as expected. How do I do this?
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Trainings}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding MobileOperator}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LastUpdate}"/>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="Number trained*" />
<!-- ValidatesOnDataErrors doesn't work here-->
<TextBox
Text="{Binding NumberTrained,
ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
Update: Posting a stripped down version of Model, ViewModel, View and CodeBehind
ViewModel and Model
public class MyViewModel : IDataErrorInfo, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public MyViewModel()
{
Trainings = new List<MyModel>
{
new MyModel { NumberTrained = 5, MobileOperator = "MO 1", LastUpdate = DateTime.Now },
new MyModel { NumberTrained = 1, MobileOperator = "MO 2", LastUpdate = DateTime.Now },
};
OkButtonCommand = new ButtonCommand(OnClick);
}
private void OnClick()
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(""));
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public ICommand OkButtonCommand { get; private set; }
public List<MyModel> Trainings { get; private set; }
public string Error { get { return null; } }
public string this[string columnName]
{
get
{
string error = null;
switch (columnName)
{
case "NumberTrained":
error = "error from IDataErrorInfo";
break;
}
return error;
}
}
}
public class MyModel
{
public string MobileOperator { get; set; }
public DateTime LastUpdate { get; set; }
public int NumberTrained { get; set; }
}
public class ButtonCommand : ICommand
{
private Action _handler;
public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged;
public ButtonCommand(Action handler) { _handler = handler; }
public bool CanExecute(object parameter) { return true; }
public void Execute(object parameter) { _handler(); }
}
Code Behind
public partial class MainPage : UserControl
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = new MyViewModel();
}
}
View
<Canvas x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Trainings}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center">

I feel implementing IDataErrorInfo
on ViewModel is more appropriate rather than on Model.
So in your case, you could have created an additional ViewModel (ex: MyModelViewModel
) and include it as a List<MyModelViewModel>
inside MyViewModel
to be used as the ItemsSource
.
Going by MVVM, if you feel you should have a corresponding View for it, you can extract out the DataTemplate
of the ItemsControl
to a new XMAL.
You need to implement IDataErrorInfo
on your Model, not your ViewModel.
As it is right now, your a validation check is throwing an error when you try and validate the property MyViewModel.NumberTrained
, which doesn't exist, so the validation error never gets called.
