How to Set FeedGroupRation Property for ListBox Binding
<div> <h2>Problem Solution: Setting FeedGroupRation Property</h2> <p>You don't seem to set the `FeedGroupRation` that the `ListBox` binds to somewhere.</p> <p>I guess you want to fetch the items and set the property when the `SelectedFeedGroup` property is set. You could then hook up an event handler to the `PropertyChanged` event or override the `NotifyOfPropertyChange` method. Something like this:</p> <pre> public override async void NotifyOfPropertyChange([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null) { base.NotifyOfPropertyChange(propertyName); if (propertyName == nameof(FeedGroup)) { //get the items.
