I have a bit of a complex situation with WPF Treeview Binding. I have spent the last 2 days trying Google it, and this is the closed I came up with, but it doesn't solve the issue.
Here is the situation:
I have an object that looks like this:
public class Category
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public List<Category> Categories { get; set; }
public List<Product> Products { get; set; }
}
public class Product
{
public string Name { get; set;
}
Each Category can have a list of objects, and child categories. I have a reason for doing this that makes complete sense to me, and the app I am writing.
The actual object construction may look Something like this:
Category - Pharmacy
|-Product - Aspirin
|-Product - Tylenol
|-Category - Tooth Paste
| |-Product - Crest
| |-Product - Colgate
|-Category - Paper Products
|-Category - Toilet Paper
| |-Product - NoName
| |-Product - Charmin
|-Category - Facial Tissue
|-Product - Kleenex
Category - Household
|-Product - Pinesol Cleaner
|-Product - Garbage Bags
Now, I am trying to databind this relationship to a treeview. I would like the TreeView to look almost identical to the above object construct.
So far I have my XAML Treeview look like this:
<TreeView x:Name="CategoryList" Margin="8" Grid.Row="2" Grid.RowSpan="2" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Categories}">
<TreeView.Resources>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type src:Category}" ItemsSource="{Binding Products}">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" />
