I've got a view which shows a listbox that is bound to GetAll():
<DockPanel>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding GetAll}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource allCustomersDataTemplate}"
Style="{StaticResource allCustomersListBox}">
</ListBox>
</DockPanel>
GetAll() is an ObservableCollection property in my ViewModel:
public ObservableCollection<Customer> GetAll
{
get
{
return Customer.GetAll();
}
}
which in turn calls a GetAll() model method which reads an XML file to fill the ObservableCollection.:
public static ObservableCollection<Customer> GetAll()
{
ObservableCollection<Customer> customers = new ObservableCollection<Customer>();
XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Load(Customer.GetXmlFilePathAndFileName());
var customerObjects = from customer in xmlDoc.Descendants("customer")
select new Customer
{
Id = (int)customer.Element("id"),
FirstName = customer.Element("firstName").Value,
LastName = customer.Element("lastName").Value,
Age = (int)customer.Element("age")
};
foreach (var customerObject in customerObjects)
{
Customer customer = new Customer();
customer.Id = customerObject.Id;
customer.FirstName = customerObject.FirstName;
customer.LastName = customerObject.LastName;
customer.Age = customerObject.Age;
customers.Add(customer);
}
return customers;
}
This all works fine EXCEPT when the user goes to another view, edits the XML file and comes back to this view where the old data is still showing.
