null value

[Leke Salami]

The control is used like this in XAML and I can select multiple items and they are displayed. If I click some other cell after editing, it tries to set the SelectedItems collection binding (MappedResultsSiteEntries property here). The setter for this property does not get a valid collection but null value. <syncfusion:ComboBoxAdv x:Name="MappedResultsSiteEntryComboBox" ItemsSource="{Binding DataContext.ResultSiteMappingEntries, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type DataGrid}}}" DisplayMemberPath="Name" SelectedValuePath="Id" SelectedItems="{Binding MappedResultsSiteEntries, Mode=TwoWay}" IsEditable="True" AllowMultiSelect="True" > </syncfusion:ComboBoxAdv> //The implementation property bound to ComboBoxAdv's SelectedItems property private IList<ResultsSiteMappingData> mappedResultsSiteEntries; public IList<ResultsSiteMappingData> MappedResultsSiteEntries { get => mappedResultsSiteEntries; set { 'value' is null here!!! } }

Thanks

Hi Leke, 

Thanks for using Syncfusion product. 

We have tried your reported scenario in mentioned Syncfusion product version 17.1.0.47 using below attached sample. But the sample return the SelectedItems and SelectedItem properly. So, we suspect that this issue may occur based on your customization. So, please provide all the ComboBoxAdv related customization or let us know the below attached sample differ from your customization. It will be helpful for us to provide the solution at the earliest.

Does the bound property for SelectedItems need to be ObservableCollection or can it be a different collection type?

Hi Leke, 

  

Thank you for your update. 

  

Yes, the SelectedItems property supports only IEnumerable collections. 

 

Please let us know, if you need any further assistance.

How can I stop the control from calling Equals on all items?

>    MyApp.exe!MyApp.MyCustomClass.Equals(MyApp.MyCustomClass other) Line 56    C#

     MyApp.exe!MyApp.MyCustomClass.Equals(object obj) Line 48    C#

//This is call stack

After I add items to the ComboBoxAdv ItemsSource bound property the control calls "Equals" on all the items it contains. This is a call stack of such call:  MyApp.exe!MyApp.MyCustomClass.Equals(MyApp.MyCustomClass other) Line 56    C#

     MyApp.exe!MyApp.MyCustomClass.Equals(object obj) Line 48    C#

     mscorlib.dll!object.Equals(object objA, object objB)    Unknown

     PresentationFramework.dll!System.Windows.Controls.ItemContainerGenerator.DoLinearSearch(System.Func<object, System.Windows.DependencyObject, bool> match, out object item, out System.Windows.DependencyObject container, out int itemIndex, bool returnLocalIndex)    Unknown

     PresentationFramework.dll!System.Windows.Controls.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(object item)    Unknown

     Syncfusion.Shared.Wpf.dll!Syncfusion.Windows.Tools.Controls.ComboBoxItemAdv.OnApplyTemplate()    Unknown

I need to avoid this behavior.

Thanks.

Hi Leke, 

Thanks for your update. 

By default, Equals method will be called whenever try to iterate the binding collection or check the item using contains method. From you provided stack trach which will be called for SelectedItems collection. So, please let me know about your exact issue which you are facing in Equals method then only we can provide the possibility of alternate solution for your reported scenario.
