I'm attempting to connect a IsBusy boolean property defined on my child window to a BusyIndicator provided by silverlight ria services codegen.
Here is the busy property:
public bool IsBusy
{
get { return (bool)this.GetValue(IsBusyProperty); }
set { this.SetValue(IsBusyProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty IsBusyProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"IsBusy", typeof(bool), typeof(FindPlant), new PropertyMetadata(false));
and here is it's use in XAML
<controls:ChildWindow xmlns:sdk="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation/sdk"
xmlns:my="clr-namespace:Locators.Controls"
x:Class="Locators.Views.FindPlant"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls"
Width="500" Height="600"
Title="Choose a plant...">
<my:BusyIndicator x:Name="LoadingIndicator" IsBusy="{Binding Path=IsBusy}" >
<!--... content omitted ...-->
</my:BusyIndicator>
</controls:ChildWindow>
My second thought is that I haven't registered the DependencyProperty correctly. Can anybody comment on this? I'm looking for the most vanilla, un-extended XAML way to handle this.
I'm using SetValue to assign to the IsBusy property.
BTW, to anybody who suggests I bind to a datasource IsBusy property, I am collecting this data via a web service connecting to an ERP system.
