[Bug] Member not found on parent interface in Xaml #14031

Open AutumnEvans418 opened 3 years ago

AutumnEvans418 commented 3 years ago

Description

If a member of an interface is defined on the parent interface, it does not show up in the intellisense.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create an interface (A) with one member
  2. Create another interface (B) that inherits the one above
  3. Create a DataTemplate with DataType=B
  4. Add a binding to the member on interface A and you'll see the error
public interface A
{
    string Name { get; set; }
}
public interface B : A
{

}
<DataTemplate x:DataType="local:B">
    <Label Text="{Binding Name}"/>
</DataTemplate>

Expected Behavior

I expected it to find my member on the parent interface.

Actual Behavior

Member not found in datacontext appears and doesn't show up in intellisense The app, however, will run just fine. The designer just shows the error.

Workaround

If I use a concrete type that implements the interface B, then it works.

jsuarezruiz commented 3 years ago

If XAML finds it at runtime, intelisense should too. cc @mgoertz-msft

mgoertz-msft commented 3 years ago

How does the runtime work without a concrete type?

AutumnEvans418 commented 3 years ago

It works at runtime with a concrete type, but the intellisense doesn't recognize the that an interface that inherits another interface has properties of the interface it inherited.

Hi, @chrisevans9629 - thanks for submitting this issue. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to it :/ Could you try updating to the latest version of Visual Studio and seeing if that helps? If not, could you share your project or a sample project that reproduces the issue so that we can investigate further? Thanks :)

RFBomb commented 2 years ago

I'm currently dealing with this issue as well using an MVVM framework.

I have an interface that represents basic functionality of controls (visibility, enabled state, etc), and another one that extends that for use with IRelayCommand and provides a 'ButtonText' property.

IButtonDefinition.ButtonText is visibile via intellisense, but IButtonDefinition.Visibility is not (since Visibility is inherited from my base IControlDefinition

Another user has commented on the linked thread below with this same issue, and its pending release. Unknown if the fix that is pending resolves this issue or not, since the comment was potentially unrelated to the initial topic

https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/intellisense-does-not-show-interfaces-when-autocom/1405793#T-N1406464

for reference, I am using VS2019, building a WPF app in Net5-windows, and below is a truncated view of my interface setup:


    public interface IButtonDefinition: IControlDefinition
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Provide the ButtonText string
        /// </summary>
        string ButtonText { get; }        

        /// <summary>
        /// Provide a tooltip for some UI control
        /// </summary>
        string ToolTip { get; }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// base interface for control binding definitions
    /// </summary>
    public interface IControlDefinition : IToolTipProvider, INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Flag to set the visibility of the control
        /// </summary>
        System.Windows.Visibility Visibility { get; set; }

        /// <inheritdoc cref="BaseControlDefinitions.BaseControlDefinition.IsVisible" path="*"/>
        bool IsVisible { get; set; }

    }

XAML:

<Button 
                Content="{Binding OpenAppSupportCommand.ButtonText, FallbackValue='App Support'}"
                Visibility="{Binding OpenAppSupportCommand.Visibility}"
                Command="{Binding OpenAppSupportCommand}"
                ToolTip="{Binding OpenAppSupportCommand.ToolTip}"
                />
