Binding to ItemsSource in XAML

[Derek Fegter]

Binding to this property is causing the entire application to hang.  No error generated, the app just... stops.

I'm fairly new to development for Windows 8 Store Apps, so it very well could be something I'm doing, however, the property I'm binding against gets the StorageFile in a reasonable time (and the file I'm attempting this with is not very large), however, after I return the StorageFile, everything hangs.

The control does reside in a LayoutAwarePage, and it's XAML looks as follows:

<sync:SfPdfViewerControl ItemsSource="{Binding Document}" Name="myPdf" Height="800"  Width="560" Margin="0,20,0,10"></sync:SfPdfViewerControl>

And here is the relevant code that populates the Document property of the model:

        private StorageFile _doc = null;

        public StorageFile Document

        {

            get

            {

                if (this._doc == null)

                {

                    this._doc = GetDoc().Result;

                }

                return this._doc;

            }

        }

        private async Task<StorageFile> GetDoc()

        {

            StorageFolder installFolder = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;

            var file = await installFolder.GetFileAsync(@"Assets\Pdfs\Truck.pdf");

            return file;

        }

Any suggestions/ideas?

I go to navigate to the page, and my details page doesn't even display.  It just sits there, doing, well, nothing.  Cannot interact with the app at all.

Thanks,

Derek
