What is if the custom classes implement the INotifyPropertyChanged ?

 I think that the xamDataGrid has a bug, if it use a ObserveableCollection !!! The values in cells are not updated!!!

 Hello,

 I have created a sample application with a XamDataGrid binding to an Observable Collection. I have added 5 items in it. By changing the values of the grid through the UI changes the value in the collection and it works fine. Here is the xaml and code-behind code of my sample:

<Grid>
        <igDP:XamDataGrid Margin="2,8,2,90" Name="xamDataGrid1" />
        <Button Height="32" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="180,0,0,28" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="94" Click="button1_Click">Button</Button>
    </Grid>

ObservableCollection<DemoCustomer> customers;
        public Window1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            customers = new ObservableCollection<DemoCustomer>();

            customers.Add( new DemoCustomer("Alex","2222222"));
            customers.Add(new DemoCustomer("Peter", "2352222"));
            customers.Add(new DemoCustomer("George", "22423222"));
            customers.Add(new DemoCustomer("Dimitri", "228672222"));
            customers.Add(new DemoCustomer("John", "222675622"));

            xamDataGrid1.DataSource = customers;
        }

        #region Customer Class
        public class DemoCustomer : INotifyPropertyChanged
        {
            private Guid idValue = Guid.NewGuid();
            private string customerNameValue = String.Empty;
            private string phoneNumberValue = String.Empty;

            public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

            private void NotifyPropertyChanged(String info)
            {
                if (PropertyChanged != null)
                {
                    PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(info));
                }
            }
            public DemoCustomer(string name, string number)
            {
                this.CustomerName = name;
                this.PhoneNumber = number;
            }

            public static DemoCustomer CreateNewCustomer()
            {
                return new DemoCustomer();
            }

            public Guid ID
            {
                get
                {
                    return this.idValue;
                }
            }

            public string CustomerName
            {
                get
                {
                    return this.customerNameValue;
                }

                set
                {
                    if (value != this.customerNameValue)
                    {
                        this.customerNameValue = value;
                        NotifyPropertyChanged("CustomerName");
                    }
                }
            }

            public string PhoneNumber
            {
                get
                {
                    return this.phoneNumberValue;
                }

                set
                {
                    if (value != this.phoneNumberValue)
                    {
                        this.phoneNumberValue = value;
                        NotifyPropertyChanged("PhoneNumber");
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        #endregion

Or if this is not the solution I am missing something? 

 Hi,

this example works fine, because the NotifyPropertyChanged is called with a non empty string.

But we use in our abstract classes the event with an empty string, because we don't know the exact change of an specific property (we generate the classes dynamicly at start up). An empty string is allowed with a NotifyPropertyChangedevent.

When I use our Collection in the Xceed DataGrid all works fine!

best regards

Hi,

Instead of a empty string, is it appropriate using a string showing that there is no change in the property like "No Change", "N/A" etc.

Will this work in your scenario?
