How to Use Dr. WPF's Observable Dictionary

An observable dictionary is a type of data collection presentation created in the programming software Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). An observable dictionary is the ability of a user to see changes made to a collection instantly, which is useful when creating collections of data for programs. Using an observable dictionary is not difficult after you have a series of data bound in a collection. The dictionary addition makes it easier to read the data in the program and view updates. You must have basic programming knowledge to use Dr. WPF's observable dictionary.

Instructions

- 1
  Open the WPF program and the collection file that you want to use with the observable dictionary.
- 2
  Type the following information into the collection class definition:
  "Public class ObservableDictionary <TKey, TValue> colon." Under that, write "IDictionary<TKey, TValue>, ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>" and "IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>." Plug the appropriate coding sequences in place of the Tkeys and Tvalues.
- 3
  Type the following under the collection class definition: "IDictionary, IEnumerable, ICollection and ISerializable."
- 4
  Fill in the following information below the ISerializable information inside the program: "IDeserializationCallback, INotifyCollectionChanged and INotifyPropertyChanged." Save the program information.
- 5
  Open the program. Find the ItemsSource to access the dictionary information. Plug in any desired information to find coding or other information located inside the programming code. The dictionary will keep track of all updates and additions to the program.
