Question

New to wpf and through a learning curve.
I have a userControl with a Toolbar Save Button and a TextBox.
What I am trying to achieve is as follows

When I press the save Button in the toolbar I should record in the textbox that I am about to save and that I have saved the customer (CustomerView UserControl)
I seem to have 2 problems

1) that the SaveCommand is not hooked I thought I had hooked it

2) is not writing the action to the textbox.

Could you tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks a lot!!!

Answer 1

Where do you declare a relationship between the view

x:Class=”MyCompany.CustomerStore.Views.CustomerView

and the model class CustomerViewModel?

I don’t see that anywhere.

I think you need to set the DataContext of the View to the Model.
