I am a C++ developer and I recently moved to C#. I am working on a wpf app using MVVM pattern. I have a groupboxbox in my xaml file which I have divided into two columns. One column contains the dynamically generated set of radiobuttons and other colums contains a label and many comboboxes.
XAML:
<GroupBox Header="Daughter Cards" Height="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="20,5,20,20" Name="groupBox2" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="Auto">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition Width="220" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Column="0">
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding SlotChildren}">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<UniformGrid />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<RadioButton Content="{Binding SlotButtons}" Margin="0,10,0,0" IsChecked="{Binding IsChecked}" GroupName="SlotGroup" Height="15" Width="80" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>
<Grid Grid.Column="1">
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding DaughterBoardBoxList}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedDaughterBoardBoxList, Mode=TwoWay}" SelectedIndex="0" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0" Name="comboBox5" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="158" />

}
mVMModel.DaughterStatus = label; // displays it in the label
}
When I am trying to run the application, it crashes and throws an exception as stackoverflow. The problem seems to be present in EEPROMSlotViewModel when I ccheck any radiobutton and the articular method gets called.
Whats the mistake I am doing here? 🙁
Please help 🙂
Your problem is on
mVMModel.DaughterStatus = label; // displays it in the labelyou are probably instantiating EEPROMViewModel class inside EEPROMSlotViewModel which causes infinite loop.To solve this you need to access your parentVM it can be done using
Interfacesto show only the DaughterStatus but quick answer could be as below :Add a property to your EEPROMSlotViewModel :
Instead of
mVMModel.DaughterStatus = label; putParentVM.DaughterStatus = label;And finally :
