Question

I have a scenario where i load an ICollectionView in a datagrid.

In some cases I modify the data where the collectionview gets it’s data from. If I then reload the grid with configGrid.ItemsSource = configData; for example, the data gets updated.

Now the thing is, I sometimes open a new window using:

var newWindow = new Edit(movie);
newWindow.Show();

The thing is, I also edit the data using this new window. Now I want the datagrid in the first window to be refreshed after I close this second window (actually, it doesn’t matter when it gets refreshed, as long as it does).

How do I do this?

I might be missing something here (I have a crippling hangover unfortunately) but can’t you handle the window closed event of newWindow and refresh confiGrids itemsource there?

Window newWindow = new Window();
newWindow.Closed += new EventHandler(newWindow_Closed);
newWindow.Show();

void newWindow_Closed(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        configGrid.ItemsSource = configData;
    }
