Type od selecteditems

Hi

wihich kind of type should  i pass to the SelectedItem property?

Is "List<string>" the correct type?

I receive the exception that the object does not implement IConvertible

Then i would like use on that property a foreach to use value changed form the user

Best regards
Alberto C.

Hi Alberto,

Greetings from Syncfusion. 
 
Query: Which kind of type should I pass to the SelectedItem property? 
 
We would like to let you know that Type of SelectedItem property is object. Hence it holds a single item for single selection (MultiSelection Mode – None) and collection of items for multi selection (MultiSelectiion Mode – either Token or Delimiter). 
 
You can retrieve the SelectedItem from ValueChanged event also. Please download the prepared sample in below 
Query: Is "List<string>" the correct type?  
 
As mentioned above, it will be correct type of assigning to the SelectedItem with MultiSelectionMode of either in Token or Delimiter.

UG Link: https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/sfcombobox/retrieving-selected-values?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#selecteditem

Please check with the above sample and let us know if you have any concerns.

I have tried with an observable collection but  when i arrive on this line of code

  EmailTo = new ObservableCollection<object>();

the application stay in pause , the screen stays frized

This is the piece of code in the xaml

 
                    <sfComboBox:SfComboBox DataSource="{Binding ListEmailTo}"
                                           SelectedItem="{Binding EmailTo}"
                                             MultiSelectMode="Token" TokensWrapMode="Wrap"             
                                               ClearButtonColor="{StaticResource Primary}"
                                               TextColor="{StaticResource PrimaryText}"
                                               DropDownTextColor="{StaticResource PrimaryText}"
                                               DropDownBorderColor="{StaticResource Primary}"                                               
                                               IsSelectedItemsVisibleInDropDown ="False">
                        <sfComboBox:SfComboBox.TokenSettings>
                            <sfComboBox:TokenSettings BackgroundColor="{StaticResource Primary}" TextColor="White"                                                                                                                    
                                                          IsCloseButtonVisible="true" 
                                                          DeleteButtonColor="{StaticResource PrimaryDark}">
                            </sfComboBox:TokenSettings>
                        </sfComboBox:SfComboBox.TokenSettings>
                    </sfComboBox:SfComboBox>


in the code properties are set in this way 

private ObservableCollection<object> _EmailTo;

        public ObservableCollection<object> EmailTo
        {
            get { return _EmailTo; }
            set { SetProperty(ref _EmailTo, value); }
        }

        private ObservableCollection<object> _ListEmailTo;

        public ObservableCollection<object> ListEmailTo
        {
            get { return _ListEmailTo; }
            set { SetProperty(ref _ListEmailTo, value); }
        }

and the piece of code when i set the variables is this

foreach (var item in invioEmailToInfo.Item1.ToList())
            {
                ListEmailTo.Add(item.Email);
            }
            
            EmailTo = new ObservableCollection<object>();

            foreach (var item in invioEmailToInfo.Item2.Split(Convert.ToChar(",")))
            {
                EmailTo.Add(item);
            }

Hi,

i have tested more with this control and i have noticed that, if in the constructor i set the collection i don't have any problem to see the list otherwise iif i am in a separate thread the item source is  not set correctly.


Usually after the constructor we start a parallel thread in order to load collection

await (page.BindingContext as ViewModelBase).InitializeAsync(parameter);         

With other component's we have not found any issue.

Best regards
Alberto C.
