How to: Bind Data to Windows Presentation Foundation Elements (WCF Data Services)

Artículo
03/30/2017

Important

WCF Data Services has been deprecated and will no longer be available for download from the Microsoft Download Center. WCF Data Services supported earlier versions of the Microsoft OData (V1-V3) protocol only and has not been under active development. OData V1-V3 has been superseded by OData V4, which is an industry standard published by OASIS and ratified by ISO. OData V4 is supported through the OData V4 compliant core libraries available at Microsoft.OData.Core. Support documentation is available at OData.Net, and the OData V4 service libraries are available at Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData.

RESTier is the successor to WCF Data Services. RESTier helps you bootstrap a standardized, queryable, HTTP-based REST interface in minutes. Like WCF Data Services before it, Restier provides simple and straightforward ways to shape queries and intercept submissions before and after they hit the database. And like Web API + OData, you still have the flexibility to add your own custom queries and actions with techniques you're already familiar with.

With WCF Data Services, you can bind Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) elements such as a ListBox or ComboBox to an instance of DataServiceCollection<T>, which handles the events raised by the controls to keep the DataServiceContext synchronized with changes made to data in the controls. For more information, see Binding Data to Controls.

The example in this topic uses the Northwind sample data service and autogenerated client data service classes. This service and the client data classes are created when you complete the WCF Data Services quickstart.

Example

The following example is from the code-behind page for an Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) page that defines the SalesOrders window in WPF. When the window is loaded, a DataServiceCollection<T> is created based on the result of a query that returns customers, filtered by country/region. All of the pages of this paged result are loaded, along with the related orders, and are bound to the DataContext property of the StackPanel that is the root layout control for the WPF window. For more information, see Loading Deferred Content.
