Add New Row to a DataGrid in Silverlight WCF RIA Services...

Question

Some guidance with Silverlight WCF RIA Services... DataGrid and detail view on the same page

Control layout DataGrid Detail View [Add New Row (button)] If I wanted to add a new row from a button then pick that new row in the datagrid how would I do that? I have tried: DetailViewTest.Web.Services.Mode1DomainContext ctx = (Mode1DomainContext)wordDomainDataSource.DomainContext;

        Word word = new Word()
        {
            Word1 = this.word1TextBox.Text,
            DateAdded = DateTime.Now

        };
        ctx.Words.Add(word);
        ctx.SubmitChanges();

This adds the word to that database but not the datagrid even though the datasource for the data is the wordDomainDataSource. If I restart the application it then shows up in the datagrid. Some help with this would be great!

If you're using the MVVM / INotifyPropertyChanged pattern you probably need to fire the OnPropertyChanged event on the ItemSource.
