Question

Now I wanna develope a windows service console program via WPF. Each service is in an item of listview.

Therefore, I defined a class as below:

/// <summary>
/// 
/// </summary>
class ServiceItem
{
    #region Fields
    /// <summary>
    /// Service Name
    /// </summary>
    private string _serviceName;
    /// <summary>
    /// Start Button
    /// </summary>
    private Button _startButton;
    /// <summary>
    /// Pause Button
    /// </summary>
    private Button _pauseButton;
    /// <summary>
    /// Stop Button
    /// </summary>
    private Button _stopButton;
    #endregion

    #region Properties
    /// <summary>
    /// Service Controller
    /// </summary>
    private ServiceController Service
    {
        get
        {
            var services = ServiceController.GetServices();
            var service = services.AsQueryable().Where(o => o.ServiceName == _serviceName).Select(o => o).FirstOrDefault();
            return service;
        }
    }
    /// <summary>
    /// Service Display Name
    /// </summary>
    public string ServiceDisplayName
    {
        get { return Service.DisplayName; }
    }
    /// <summary>
    /// Service Name
    /// </summary>
    private string ServiceName
    {
        get { return Service.ServiceName; }
    }

    /// </summary>
    public string Status
    {
        get
        {
            var status = Service.Status;
            switch (status)
            {
                case ServiceControllerStatus.StartPending:
                    return "StartPending";

and the corresponding listview xaml is as below:

            <ListView.View>

                    <GridView.Columns>

                        <GridViewColumn Width="auto" Header="Status" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Status}"></GridViewColumn>
                        <GridViewColumn Width="auto" Header="StartMode" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding StartMode}"></GridViewColumn>

                                        <Button Grid.Column="0" Height="24" Width="24" Style="{StaticResource ImageButton}" >
                                            <Image Source="Resources/Media Play.png"></Image>
                                        </Button>
                                        <Button Grid.Column="1" Height="24" Width="24" Margin="1,0,1,0" Style="{StaticResource ImageButton}">
                                            <Image Source="Resources/Media Pause.png"></Image>
                                        </Button>
                                        <Button Grid.Column="2" Height="24" Width="24" Style="{StaticResource ImageButton}">
                                            <Image Source="Resources/Media Stop.png"></Image>
                                        </Button>
                                    </Grid>
                                </DataTemplate>
                            </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        </GridViewColumn>

                    </GridView.Columns>
                </GridView>
            </ListView.View>
        </ListView>

I created the ServiceItem instance collection and bind it to the ListView:

var services = new List<ServiceItem>()
        {
            new ServiceItem("AxInstSV"),
            new ServiceItem("PeerDistSvc")
        };
        ServiceList.ItemsSource = services;

now the problem is how counld/should I bind the start/pause/stop event method to each button?

Answer 1

use ICommand interface binding for button

View’s item template..

<Button Command="{Binding PlayCommand}" Height="24" Width="24" Style="{StaticResource ImageButton}" >
    <Image Source="Resources/Media Play.png"></Image>
</Button>
<Button Command="{Binding PauseCommand}" Height="24" Width="24" Style="{StaticResource ImageButton}" >
    <Image Source="Resources/Media Pause.png"></Image>
</Button>

and your ServiceItem have public ICommand Properties

public ICommand PlayCommand{ get; private set;}
public ICommand PauseCommand{ get; private set;}

#region Constructor
public ServiceItem(string serviceName)
{
    _serviceName = serviceName;

    //DelegateCommand implement ICommand interface.
    PlayCommand = new DelegateCommand(Play); 

    //Alternate way you can use lamda expression
    PauseCommand = new DelegateCommand(()=> ServiceHelper.PauseService(Service));
}
#endregion

private void Play()
{
    ServiceHelper.StartService(Service);
}

*search for WPF DelegateCommand or RelayCommand
