Binding Error On Load Of NavigableSymbolSelector

Posted 5 years ago by Robert Walker

Version: 19.1.0684

Using XAML code from SyntaxEditor:

			<docking:Workspace x:Name="workspace">
 
				<DockPanel>
					<editor:NavigableSymbolSelector x:Name="symbolSelector" DockPanel.Dock="Top" Margin="0,0,0,1" SyntaxEditor="{Binding ElementName=editor}" />
 
					<!-- SyntaxEditor -->
					<editor:SyntaxEditor x:Name="editor"
										 AreIndentationGuidesVisible="True"
										 AreWordWrapGlyphsVisible="True"

Yields the following Binding Error when the editor loads:

System.Windows.Data Error: 4 : Cannot find source for binding with reference 'ElementName=editor'. BindingExpression:(no path); DataItem=null; target element is 'NavigableSymbolSelector' (Name='symbolSelector'); target property is 'SyntaxEditor' (type 'SyntaxEditor')

Is this a "red herring" and I can ignore it?

Hi Robert,

If everything is working at run-time then you can probably ignore it. I'm not sure why that would be happening since the Binding looks ok to me. I wonder if you moved the interior of the Workspace into a UserControl and loaded the UserControl as the Workspace child instead, if the binding error disappeared?

Hi Guys,

Thanks. This is actually my (Scott) "problem" Robert logged it initially for me. It's odd because I have a similar issue with SyntaxEditor's bound ZoomLevel:

					<editor:SyntaxEditor x:Name="editor"
										 AreIndentationGuidesVisible="True"
										 AreWordWrapGlyphsVisible="True"
										 IsLineNumberMarginVisible="True"
										 ZoomLevel="{Binding ElementName=scaleSlider, Path=Value}"

System.Windows.Data Error: 4 : Cannot find source for binding with reference 'ElementName=scaleSlider'. BindingExpression:Path=Value; DataItem=null; target element is 'SyntaxEditor' (Name='editor'); target property is 'ZoomLevel' (type 'Double')

<StatusBarItem Grid.Column="4">
					<StackPanel Margin="0,0,16,0" Orientation="Horizontal">
						<Slider x:Name="scaleSlider" Width="80" Value="1.0" Minimum="0.5" Maximum="3.0" LargeChange="0.5" SmallChange="0.1" VerticalAlignment="Center" 
			IsSnapToTickEnabled="True" TickFrequency="0.1" 
			Style="{DynamicResource {x:Static themes:SharedResourceKeys.StatusBarEmbeddedSliderStyleKey}}" />
						<TextBlock Text="{Binding ElementName=scaleSlider, Path=Value, Converter={StaticResource PercentageConverter}, ConverterParameter=%}" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
					</StackPanel>
				</StatusBarItem>

Hi Scott,

I tried putting the code below in a Grid in a Window and I didn't get any binding errors:

<Slider x:Name="scaleSlider" Width="80" Value="1.0" Minimum="0.5" Maximum="3.0" LargeChange="0.5" SmallChange="0.1" VerticalAlignment="Center" 
	IsSnapToTickEnabled="True" TickFrequency="0.1"  />
		
<editor:SyntaxEditor Grid.Row="2" ZoomLevel="{Binding ElementName=scaleSlider, Path=Value}" />

Do you seem the binding error if you place the code above in Grid in a new Window?

Investigating. I have everything in a UserControl.

For Slider binding issue I just bound value to a dependency property in interest of time. It was a real error since SyntaxEditor wasn't responding to the zoom level change. I got tired of trying to resolve the WPF hierarchy :-)

The latest build of this product (v24.1.5) was released 1 month ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
