LogicBase

public abstract class LogicBase : IUniqueIdentifyable, IViewLoadState, ObservableObject

Base types ObservableObject

Implements interfaces IUniqueIdentifyable,IViewLoadState

Base implementation of the behaviors, which defines all the different possible situations a behavior must implement / support to be a valid MVVM provider behavior.

Fields

_lockObject

The lock object

ViewLoadManager

The view load manager

Constructors

LogicBase(IView targetView, Type viewModelType, IViewModel viewModel)

Initializes a new instance of the LogicBase class.

Parameters

Exceptions

Properties

CanViewBeLoaded

Gets a value indicating whether the control can be loaded. This is very useful in non-WPF classes where theLayoutUpdated is used instead of theLoaded event. If this value istrue, this logic implementation can call the Object,EventArgs) when the control is loaded. Otherwise, the call will be ignored.

Remarks

This value is introduced for Windows Phone because a navigation backwards still leads to a call toLayoutUpdated. To prevent new view models from being created, this property can be overridden by such logic implementations.

IgnoreNullDataContext

Gets or sets a value indicating whether anull DataContext should be ignored and no new view model should be created. This property will automatically be set totrue when a parent view model container invokes the ViewUnloading event. It will be set tofalse again when the parent view model container invokes the ViewLoading. The default value isfalse.

IsClosingViewModel

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the current view model is being closed.

IsLoading

Gets a value indicating whether this instance is loading.

IsTargetViewLoaded

Gets a value indicating whether the target control is loaded or not.

IsUnloading

Gets a value indicating whether this instance is unloading.

LastKnownDataContext

Gets the weak reference to the last known data context.

PreventViewModelCreation

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the view model container should prevent the creation of a view model. This property is very useful when using views in transitions where the view model is no longer required.

TargetView

Gets the target control of this MVVM provider.

TargetViewType

Gets the type of the target control.

UniqueIdentifier

Gets the unique identifier.

ViewModel

Gets or sets the view model.

Remarks

When a new value is set, the old view model will be disposed.

ViewModelBehavior

Gets the view model behavior.

ViewModelFactory

Gets the view model factory used to create the view model instances.

ViewModelType

Gets the type of the view model.

Events

DetermineViewModelInstance

Occurs when the view model is about to construct a new view model. This event can be used to intercept and inject a dynamically instantiated view model.

DetermineViewModelType

Occurs when the view model is about to construct a new view model. This event can be used to intercept and inject a dynamically determined view model type.

Loaded

Occurs when the view model container is loaded.

TargetViewPropertyChanged

Occurs when a property on the TargetView has changed.

Unloaded

Occurs when the view model container is unloaded.

ViewModelCanceledAsync

Occurs when the ViewModel has been canceled.

ViewModelChanged

Occurs when the ViewModel property has changed.

ViewModelClosedAsync

Occurs when the ViewModel has been closed.

ViewModelPropertyChanged

Occurs when a property on the current ViewModel has changed.

ViewModelSavedAsync

Occurs when the ViewModel has been saved.

Methods

CancelAndCloseViewModelAsync()

Cancels and closes the view model.

Returns

true if the view model is successfully canceled; otherwisefalse.

CancelViewModelAsync()

Cancels the view model.

Returns

true if the view model is successfully canceled; otherwisefalse.

CloseViewModelAsync(Nullable<bool> result)

Closes the view model.

CompleteViewModelClosingAsync()

Awaits until the closing of the view model is completed.

Returns

Task.

ConstructViewModelUsingArgumentOrDefaultConstructor(object injectionObject)

Tries to construct the view model using the argument. If that fails, it will try to use the default constructor of the view model. If that is not available,null is returned.

Parameters

Returns

Constructed view model ornull if the view model could not be constructed.

CreateViewModelByUsingDataContextOrConstructor()

Creates a view model by using data context or, if that is not possible, the constructor of the view model.

IsCurrentDataContext(DataContextChangedEventArgs e)

Gets a value indicating whether the specified arguments represent the current data context.

Parameters

Returns

OnTargetViewDataContextChanged(object sender, DataContextChangedEventArgs e)

Called when theDataContext property of the TargetView has changed.

Parameters

OnTargetViewLoadedAsync(object sender, EventArgs e)

Called when the TargetView has just been loaded. The base implementation will try to create a view model based on the current DataContext and set it as the DataContext of the TargetView. To create custom logic for view model creation, override this method and do not call the base.

Parameters

Returns

Task.

OnTargetViewPropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)

Called when a property on the TargetView has changed.

Parameters

OnTargetViewUnloadedAsync(object sender, EventArgs e)

Called when the TargetView has just been unloaded.

Parameters

Returns

Task.

OnViewLoadedManagerLoaded(object sender, ViewLoadEventArgs e)

Called when the view manager is loaded.

Parameters

OnViewLoadedManagerLoadedInternal(object sender, ViewLoadEventArgs e)

Called when the view manager is loaded. This method is public because the view loaded manager must be subscribed to as a weak event.

Parameters

OnViewLoadedManagerLoading(object sender, ViewLoadEventArgs e)

Called when the view manager is unloading.

Parameters

OnViewLoadedManagerLoadingInternal(object sender, ViewLoadEventArgs e)

Called when the view manager is unloading. This method is public because the view loaded manager must be subscribed to as a weak event.

Parameters

OnViewLoadedManagerUnloaded(object sender, ViewLoadEventArgs e)

Called when the view manager is unloaded.

Parameters

OnViewLoadedManagerUnloadedInternal(object sender, ViewLoadEventArgs e)

Called when the view manager is unloaded. This method is public because the view loaded manager must be subscribed to as a weak event.

Parameters

OnViewLoadedManagerUnloading(object sender, ViewLoadEventArgs e)

Called when the view manager is unloading.

Parameters

OnViewLoadedManagerUnloadingInternal(object sender, ViewLoadEventArgs e)

Called when the view manager is unloading. This method is public because the view loaded manager must be subscribed to as a weak event.

Parameters

OnViewModelCanceledAsync(object sender, EventArgs e)

Called when the ViewModel has been saved.

Parameters

OnViewModelChanged()

Called when the ViewModel property has just been changed.

OnViewModelChanging()

Called when the ViewModel property is about to change.

OnViewModelClosedAsync(object sender, ViewModelClosedEventArgs e)

Called when the ViewModel has been closed.

Parameters

OnViewModelPropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)

Called when a property on the ViewModel has changed.

Parameters

OnViewModelSavedAsync(object sender, EventArgs e)

Called when the ViewModel has been saved.

Parameters

SaveAndCloseViewModelAsync()

Saves and closes the view model. If the saving fails, the view model is not closed.

Returns

true if the view model is successfully saved; otherwisefalse.

SaveViewModelAsync()

Saves the view model.

Returns

true if the view model is successfully saved; otherwisefalse.

SetDataContext(object newDataContext)

Sets the data context of the target control. This method is abstract because the real logic implementation knows how to set the data context (for example, by using an additional data context grid).

Parameters

ValidateViewModel()

Validates the view model.
