DataGrid edition 'EditItem' is not allowed for this view` when bound to a WPF DataGrid


I've been reading about this at least for 4 hours, and seems to be the list type, but I have a situation:

A ObservableCollection that has a collection property.

I define the first DataGrid, and in the section

<DataGrid.RowDetailsTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <!-- second Datagrid here, binding to Level2 property of my Observable collection -->
    </DataTemplate>
<DataGrid.RowDetailsTemplate>

Everything goes fine, all things on screen as I expected... but:

  1. If try to modify DataGrid1 cells it allow me.
  2. If try to modify DataGrid2 cells it throw me this exception 'EditItem' is not allowed for this view

What am I missing ?

This is my model:

public partial class Level1
{
    public Level1()
    {
        this.Level2 = new HashSet<Level2>();
    }

    public decimal IdLevel1 { get; set; }
    public decimal IdLevel2 { get; set; }
    public string StrDescripcionTipoAsociado {get;set;}

    public virtual Level2 Level2{ get; set; }
}

public partial class Level2
{
    public decimal IdLevel1 { get; set; }
    public decimal IdLevel3 { get; set; }

    public virtual Level3 Level3{ get; set; }
}

public partial class Level3
{
    public decimal IdLevel3 { get; set; }
    public decimal NumIdConcepto {get;set;}
    public string StrDescripcionConcepto {get;set;}
}

EDIT: XAML Code:

    <DataGrid Grid.Row="1" 
              ItemsSource="{Binding Level1}" 
              AutoGenerateColumns="False"

Solution

  • Tks to @nit who give me the right path. Of course the problem reside on the base Type of EF collections

    Hashet< T > And Datagrid need at least a List< T >, changing all my classes "those generated by Entity framework", give to me another problem, must make changes manually, and I have a lot of them.

    My solution was to create a converter, that made the dirty work for me:

    public class listToObservableCollection : BaseConverter, IValueConverter
    {
        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            HashSet<Level2> observableList = (HashSet<Level2>)value;
            return new ObservableCollection<Level2>(observableList);
        }
    
        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            return (HashSet<Level2>)value;
        }
    }
    
    public abstract class BaseConverter : MarkupExtension
    {
        public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
        {
            return this;
        }
    }
    

    And put it on the binding of my Datagrid2:

    <!--part of my window definition--!>
    xmlns:l="clr-namespace:Recursos;assembly=Recursos"
    ...
    <!--part of my resources section--!>
    <l:listToObservableCollection x:Key="listoToObservable"/>
    ...
    <!--part of my datagrid definition--!>
    ItemsSource="{Binding Level2,Converter={StaticResource listoToObservable}}"
    

    The only thing on the air is how to make a generic converter, but for now it works fine.
