✅ Avalonia not showing rows in datagrid

There are no rows in my datagrid in Avalonia, the headers are visible. I've checked if my list is empty, but it isn't. There are also no errors, even when I change the bindings to bindings that don't exist. I did include the Datagrid package and reference in App.AXAML. It is the same issue as in https://discord.com/channels/143867839282020352/1113257710595616819. Help would be appreciated.

what is the height of the data grid (using the debug tools)? are you sure it actually has room to display the table? or try specifying a fixed height to see if that makes a difference
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
I changed the height and still nothing

did u add the styles in the resources?
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
yes i did in app.axaml
leowest

App.axaml needs to have
<StyleInclude Source="avares://Avalonia.Controls.DataGrid/Themes/Fluent.xaml" />
<StyleInclude Source="avares://Avalonia.Controls.DataGrid/Themes/Fluent.xaml" />
ok

mmm could it be a color issue? can u set the background to say black or the columns text color to black I've had that issue on my example
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
in the documentation it says that it uses MVVM for biding, could it be that?
leowest
leowest3mo ago
I mean it depends on your code I would need to see more of your project to tell if you're using MVVM or not but the fact your using ObservableCollection assuming that is a ViewModel or in the DataContext it should load can you show me an image of your solution explorer so I can see what u have in there preferable with the folders collapsed
leowest
leowest3mo ago
if u have something like this

changes are u already have the MVVM hooked and just didnt know

where is the rest? its 6 files
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
oh sorry only read the first messege
leowest
leowest3mo ago
but yeah you're not using MVVM you're using code behind at least for the file u sent in
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
how do i use mvvm then?
leowest
leowest3mo ago
I will check the other files and then I will try to explain I am trying to figure out how are u managing the views for now

did u change in the
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
i just use the name property like 'x:Name'
leowest
leowest3mo ago
ok so did u change in the App.axaml.cs the window it was loading? because otherwise when u run you app it would open MainWindow and not BeurtenBekijken
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
no because the mainwindow is meant to be opened first and from that window you can open other windows

leowest3mo ago
am I blind I dont see where u open it ok thx let me check AH ok found it
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
it opens from 'dashboard.axaml'
leowest
leowest3mo ago
ok yeah so you're writing this as if it was winform that is not normally how u work with xaml
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
yes
leowest
leowest3mo ago
this is normally how it goes down MainWindow -- this is just a shell |-- MainView -- this is the main page that open inside the shell MainWindow So you would have a navigation on either your MainWindow or MainView where u would open the new pages u dont normally open completely new windows like u do in winforms with WPF/Avalonia that's why I was a bit confused but that aside as for MVVM, you have your View, then you Have the ViewModel, and then you bind the 2 together via the DataContext so usually u dont write code in the axaml.cs just in some scenarios so in your case in the file BeurtenBekijken you could do
public BeurtenBekijken()
{
DataContext = this;
InitializeComponent();
}
public BeurtenBekijken()
{
DataContext = this;
InitializeComponent();
}
and your binding should work its not the best approach but given how u've gone so far its way too much for me help u fix to go back to right MVVM and how to write xaml
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
thanks! this worked for me! i write my code this way because i am used to winforms and i just need something that runs fast on a raspberry pi
leowest
leowest3mo ago
I strongly suggest u tried writing another simpler project following MVVM u will see how much easier it is and how it improves your code 10 fold yeah I understood that, but its a shame at the same time because you're losing a lot doing so in that manner $close
MODiX
MODiX3mo ago
Use the /close command to mark a forum thread as answered
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
so you can just access the axaml elements directly from c# then?
leowest
leowest3mo ago
yes but then u break MVVM completly by naming the controls i.e.: like U said earlier... x:Name="Something" MVVM is really not that hard, but if you're coming from winform its not simple to digest
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
ok, but i'll first try to finish to program this way, and than try to use mvvm, since most of the UI is static
leowest
leowest3mo ago
that's fair reason why I showed how to apply the DataContext with what u had 😉
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
ok, thank again for the help! Maybe I should use the MVVM method, because now it can't compile because it can't find tje bindings.
leowest
leowest3mo ago
what is the error message
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
Avalonia error AVLN:0004: Unab le to resolve suitable regular or attached property ItemsSource on type Avalonia.Controls.DataGrid:Avalonia.Controls.Da taGrid Line 15, position 4.
leowest
leowest3mo ago
did u update your github iwth the latest changes? that is on the datagrid file right?
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
yes
leowest
leowest3mo ago
are u sure it s up to date?
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
i've just updated it in github
leowest
leowest3mo ago
ok try cleaning and rebuilding your solution
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
i get the same error it does build fine though
leowest
leowest3mo ago
it builds without error and fails when u run?
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
no, it builds and runs fine but when i compile for arm64 linuc in cmd it throws that error
leowest
leowest3mo ago
TIP: next time when its working, commit, then keep working. Do small git commits so u can evaluate changes that could have broken things dont write 2k lines of code to commit commit in small chunks did A, its working, commit ah ok that is a different problem you have libraries that are specific to windows u have to change that
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
but when i don't include the binding it compiles just fine it is this line: "ItemsSource="{Binding BeurtenGRID}""
leowest
leowest3mo ago
bad if that was the case it would not work on windows either

you have a few libraries that do not run on linux so start by removing those and elimitate the possibilities
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
ok
leowest
leowest3mo ago
also remove this to avoid confusion as well x:Name="beurtenGrid" since you're not using it
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
ok
leowest
leowest3mo ago
check your Error List for any other warnings about libraries that work on windows only I think it will be NU.... error
leowest
leowest3mo ago
No description
leowest
leowest3mo ago
it will show like that so basically anything that specifically targets .net framework relies on api's exclusive to windows and will not run on linux or mac etc
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
github is updated
leowest
leowest3mo ago
ok did u remvoe all the libraries that had the issue mentioned in the image above? think there was 3 or 4
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
yes, no nuget errors anymore
leowest
leowest3mo ago
ok and u still get that binding error on linux?
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
yes
leowest
leowest3mo ago
are u publishing? what options did u select
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
this is the command:
dotnet build "./GIP_av.Desktop.csproj" -c Release -r linux-arm64 -v q /clp:ErrorsOnly
dotnet build "./GIP_av.Desktop.csproj" -c Release -r linux-arm64 -v q /clp:ErrorsOnly
leowest
leowest3mo ago
then u zipped the linux-arm64 folder and unzipped the whole thing on your linux?
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
no, i build for linux on my windows pc and move it to linux and than run it on linux
leowest
leowest3mo ago
yes but you move the whole fodler with all the files inside of it not tjust theg exe or dll right
leowest
leowest3mo ago
No description
leowest
leowest3mo ago
No description
leowest
leowest3mo ago
u need all the files inside
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
yes i do that, but i get an error when compiling it for linux on my windows pc
leowest
leowest3mo ago
mmm
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
so the linux-arm folder doesnt update
leowest
leowest3mo ago
ok let me check ah I think I see the issue moment ok open your Desktop csproj and remove this line
<PackageReference Include="Avalonia.Controls.DataGrid" Version="11.0.2" />
<PackageReference Include="Avalonia.Controls.DataGrid" Version="11.0.2" />
it will only leave 1 line inside the itemsgroup then rigth click your GIP_av project and open nuget and install the datagrid there then clean/rebuild then u should be able to build to arm64
leowest
leowest3mo ago
No description
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
yes it worked
leowest
leowest3mo ago
👍 so basically it was nothing to do with the binding but the library being on the wrong project causing it to not recognize the control properties
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
but how did it manage to run on windows then?
leowest
leowest3mo ago
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ magic maybe because you were running on debug mode and for whatever reason in debug it just works on windows either way u dont want to add anything to Desktop project UNLESS is code specifically to run from it anything else should be on the library project as its what gets run on everything out of curiosity does it run on your raspberry?
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
yes, and pretty fast
leowest
leowest3mo ago
nice to know I have one myself but never ran avalonia on it so its all working now?
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
yes, but there is one visual bug. It shows one row, and then when you scroll it shows the rest and makes the table bigger
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
No description
No description
leowest
leowest3mo ago
make sure u commit the last changes u did since building its working now 😉 well u dont define a height maybe if u do it might render differently Ah I see because its StackPanel change that to a Grid and see if it changes
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
yes but then the margin top is too big, so i'll just use stackpanel width datagrid on fixed height
leowest
leowest3mo ago
well u will have rendering issues then its not a visual bug but how stackpanel works to render things with grid all u have to do is split into 2 rows give the first * and the second however much space u want to give your button add Grid.Row="1" to your button and that's it
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
yes that worked
leowest
leowest3mo ago
👍
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
thanks for your help (again)!
leowest
leowest3mo ago
no worries just a reminder you should really start a fresh project later and learn MVVM with AValonia and Community Toolkit u will much easier all of waht u did turns into and how much cleaner the codes turns as well
randomrider
randomrider3mo ago
ok, i will definitely look into that
