Silverlight Custom Control and Databinding doesn't work properly in WP7
I'm trying to create my calendar control with databinding.
public partial class Calendar : UserControl
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty DateProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("Date", typeof(DateTime),
typeof(Calendar), null);
public object Date
{
开发者_开发技巧 get { return GetValue(DateProperty); }
set
{
SetValue(DateProperty, value);
OnPropertyChanged("Date");
}
}
public Calendar()
{
// Required to initialize variables
InitializeComponent();
DayText.Text = ((DateTime)Date).ToString("dd");
MonthText.Text = ((DateTime)Date).ToString("MMM");
this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(Calendar_Loaded);
this.GotFocus += new RoutedEventHandler(Calendar_Loaded);
}
void Calendar_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
DayText.Text = ((DateTime)Date).ToString("dd");
MonthText.Text = ((DateTime)Date).ToString("MMM");
}
}
But When I create the listbox with this control, same calndar have the wrong date. I'm sure that the Date passed thorough databinding is correct but I don't understand why same calender show a different day (I'm noticed that is the day of a previous calendar control intance)
Thank you for supporting!
Hmm ... where do we start? Here's a few things I've noticed:
- If you're using a dependency property, there's no need to call
OnPropertyChanged
from theDate
property setter. - The dependency property declares the type as
DateTime
, but your public exposed property is of typeobject
, which then requires you to cast it elsewhere. - If
Calendar_Loaded
is to be called in more situations than in response to theLoaded
event (such as theGotFocus
event, then I'd recommend that you call it something else, or create a method with a relevant name (e.g. UpdateDateParts) and call it from properly named separate event handlers. - Using fixed format specifiers when processing date strings does not localize well.
In addition to that, I'd suggest that you could implement the user interface in a manner that supports databinding (and re-templating) by using bindings and exposing the date parts of the Date
dependency property instead of manually updating the Text
property of some text blocks/boxes in event handlers. In fact, if you derive from Control
instead of UserControl
then you can create and actuall lookless control that has it's user interface defined by a style in themes\generic.xaml that can be re-defined by users of your control.
As for why the date is incorrect in different instances of your calendar control, we'd need to see some of your XAML/code to see how the control is being used and initialized to be able to provide a better answer. However, I thought the above was worth putting in an Answer, instead of trying to say it in a Comment.
