I am new to MVVM Light and I am trying to learn and implement the Messenger class. I have read many other messenger tutorials and posts but still can't get it to work. Below is some code I wrote to help me learn. From my research I think I have everything implemented correctly but it does not work. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
public class MainViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
public MainViewModel() { }
private RelayCommand _sendMessage;
public RelayCommand SendMessage
{
get
{
return _sendMessage
?? (_sendMessage = new RelayCommand(
() =>
{
var pInfo = new PersonalInfo { Name = "Some Name", Age = 31 };
Messenger.Default.Send(pInfo);
}));
}
}
}
public class MessageReciever
{
public MessageReciever()
{
Messenger.Default.Register<PersonalInfo>(this,
action =>
{
Debug.WriteLine(action.Age);
Debug.WriteLine(action.Name);
}
);
}
}
public class PersonalInfo
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}
Try this:
public class MainViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
MessageReciever mr = new MessageReciever();
public MainViewModel() { }
private RelayCommand _sendMessage;
public RelayCommand SendMessage {
get {
return _sendMessage
?? (_sendMessage = new RelayCommand(
() =>
{
var pInfo = new PersonalInfoMessage(new PersonalInfo { Name = "Some Name", Age = 31 } );
Messenger.Default.Send(pInfo);
}));
}
}
}
public class MessageReciever
{
public MessageReciever() {
Messenger.Default.Register<PersonalInfoMessage>(this,
action =>
{
Debug.WriteLine(action.Content.Age);
Debug.WriteLine(action.Content.Name);
}
);
}
}
public class PersonalInfo
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}
public class PersonalInfoMessage : GenericMessage<PersonalInfo>
{
public PersonalInfoMessage(PersonalInfo content)
: base(content) {
}
}
