My situation is that I have a user control inside the group header template of the outlook bar. This user control has a bunch of controls that it manages as well. The outlook bar is bounded to a wcf service and passes a value to the user control, the user control then uses that value and gets it's own values from the wcf service. The issue I'm having is which ever group header I select first all the other group content is the same as that one. Here the test I used to get this issue:
[OperationContract]public List<GroupHeader> GetGroups(){ List<GroupHeader> groups = new List<GroupHeader>(); for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { groups.Add(new GroupHeader() { ID = i, Name = "Group " + i.ToString() }); }
return groups;}[OperationContract]public List<GroupItem> GetItems(int groupID){ List<GroupItem> items = new List<GroupItem>();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { if (i == groupID) { for (int j = 0; j < 15; j++) { items.Add(new GroupItem() { ID = j, Name = "Group " + i.ToString() + " - Item " + j.ToString() }); } break; } }
return items;}
[DataContract]public class GroupHeader{ [DataMember] public int ID { get; set; } [DataMember] public string Name { get; set; }}
[DataContract]public class GroupItem{ [DataMember] public int ID { get; set; } [DataMember] public string Name { get; set; }}

Hi MrYang,The problem is in GroupID property in GroupItem UserControl public static readonly DependencyProperty GroupProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("GroupID", ...It is better to use GroupIDProperty name;andYou don’t need this line: groupItem.GroupID = (int)e.NewValue;- it breaks Binding and GroupID stays unchanged;You can move lines from GroupID property setter to the OnGroupIDPropertyChanged handler.Regards,Marin
Thanks for the help. It just seems like it was the case of right code in wrong place...lol thanks again.
