I am using Caliburn.Micro
I have this WPF View that in design time uses sample data successfully on basic properties like firstname etc but can’t won’t find the view for properties and collections of complex types
<UserControl x:Class="NonRepositoryItems.Reviewer.ReviewerView"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

<DockPanel>
<DockPanel.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Label" >

</Style>
</DockPanel.Resources>
<FormPanel:FormPanel Columns="2" Margin="5" DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<Label Content="Job Title"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding JobTitle}" />
<Label Content="Honorific"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Honorific}" />
<Label Content="First Name"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding FirstName}" />
<Label Content="Last Name"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LastName}" />
<Label Content="Gender"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Gender}" />
</FormPanel:FormPanel>
<FormPanel:FormPanel Columns="1" Margin="5" DockPanel.Dock="Top">

</Border>
<Controls:BusyIndicator IsBusy="{Binding IsBusy}" BusyContent="Busy..." Grid.ColumnSpan="2"></Controls:BusyIndicator>
<ContentControl x:Name="Dialogs"
VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"/>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Here is the SampleData
public class SampleReviewerViewModel : ReviewerViewModel
{
public SampleReviewerViewModel()
{
Honorific = "Mr";
FirstName = "John";
LastName = "Smith";
ReviewerId = "125634";
Gender = "Male";
JobTitle = "REC Chair";
ReviewerTaskCount = "10";
ReviewerRequestedTaskCount = "20";
ReviewerDispatchedTaskCount = "33";
ReviewerRequestedReturnedCount = "50";
PostalAddress = new AddressViewModel();
CourierAddress = new AddressViewModel();
IsBusy = false;
RepositoryItems = new ObservableCollection<RepositoryItemViewModel>
{
new RepositoryItemViewModel() {Title = "Red" },
new RepositoryItemViewModel() {Title = "Orange" },
new RepositoryItemViewModel() {Title = "Yellow" },
new RepositoryItemViewModel() {Title = "Green" },
new RepositoryItemViewModel() {Title = "Blue" },
new RepositoryItemViewModel() {Title = "Indigo" },
new RepositoryItemViewModel() {Title = "Violet" }
};
}
}
Here is my address view
<UserControl x:Class="NonRepositoryItems.Reviewer.AddressView"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:SampleData="clr-namespace:NonRepositoryItems.SampleData" mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DataContext="{d:DesignInstance SampleData:SampleAddressViewModel, IsDesignTimeCreatable=True}"
>
<Border>
<Grid Margin="4">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding AddressLine1}" Visibility="{Binding IsAddressLine1Visible, Converter={StaticResource booleanToVisibility}}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding AddressLine2}" Visibility="{Binding IsAddressLine2Visible, Converter={StaticResource booleanToVisibility}}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding AddressLine3}" Visibility="{Binding IsAddressLine3Visible, Converter={StaticResource booleanToVisibility}}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding City}" Visibility="{Binding IsCityVisible, Converter={StaticResource booleanToVisibility}}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding PostCode}" Visibility="{Binding IsPostCodeVisible, Converter={StaticResource booleanToVisibility}}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Country}" Visibility="{Binding IsCountryVisible, Converter={StaticResource booleanToVisibility}}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</Border>
</UserControl>
and it’s sample data
public class SampleAddressViewModel : AddressViewModel
{
public SampleAddressViewModel()
{
Type = "Mail Address";
AddressLine1 = "350 Fifth Avenue";
AddressLine2 = "";
AddressLine3 = "";
City = "New York, NY ";
PostCode = "10118";
Country = "United States of America";
}
}
Don’t you need
cal:Bind.AtDesignTime="True"on your user control.
