Hi! When if there is a function that calls SearchView.TimerSearch("x")
I think UserControl shows the count that is returned from SearchView.TimerSearch("x")
But it's not work how I expect.
binding log says it changed to 2. but it shows '0' and never changed!
Can someone help me?
CodePudding user response：
You are binding to the nested Count property of the collection. But since you are replacing the complete collection, the Count property effectively does not change as the collection instance change is not detected by the Binding. In other words, the Binding is listening for a Count changed event, but this event is never raised, because the collection instance itself has changed instead.
It's generally recommended to always use the same collection instance in a data binding context: clear the collection and add the new range of items.
Next is your async method TimerSearch: it is currently not awaited and does not return a Task!
Remember: async void is only allowed for event handlers. Otherwise, a void method must always be converted to return Task.
When you await a method you must await the complete call tree (all the callers too): async Task everywhere.
// Make method return Task
public async Task TimerSearchAsync(string text)
{
var response = await _searchService.SearchUser(text);
SearchedUsers.Clear();
foreach (var data in response.ResponseData)
{
SearchedUsers.Add(data);
}
}
In case response.ResponseData returns a List<T>, you can replace the foreach loop with a call of the List<T>.ForEach method to compact the code:
response.ResponseData.ForEach(SearchedUsers.Add);
Next, convert the calling method to return a Task too and await the TimerSearch method call:
// Declare method async and return a Task
public async Task TimerSearcAsynch(string text)
{
await _searchVM.TimerSearchAsync(text);
}
Finally, avoid setting the DataContext in your control. This limits the usability of the control to be only used in the special context.
Generally, you don't have a view model class for each control, this is not how you design controls. Controls must be developed independent from a view model class.
In your case, the control would have a UserCount dependency property, which you later can bind to an external view model. Internally, the TextBox would bind to the UserCount dependency property.
