Reading NotficationTemplate controls value in RadHubTile for Windows 8

In this post we will take a look on how to read values NotificationTemplate controls in RadHubTile. Let us say, you are working with RadHubTile and you have set the NotificationTemplate as following,


<telerik:RadHubTile x:Name="rdRunsHubTiles"
 Title="Score"
 Message="India/Eng Score"
 ImageSource="/Assets/indengmatchlogo.JPG"
 BackContent="Score of India England first Test"
 Margin="93,209,0,388">
 <telerik:RadHubTile.NotificationTemplate>
 <DataTemplate>
 <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >
 <TextBlock Text="{Binding Runs}" />
 <TextBlock Text="{Binding Country}" />
 </StackPanel>
 </DataTemplate>
 </telerik:RadHubTile.NotificationTemplate>
 </telerik:RadHubTile>

There are two TextBlock Controls inside the NotificationTemplate. Both TextBlock are data bind. RadHubTile DataCoontext is set as following


protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
 {
 rdRunsHubTiles.DataContext = GetRun();

 }

Data GetRun()
 {
 return new Data ()
 {
 Runs = 200,
 Country = "India"
 };

 }

And Data class is defined as following,


public class Data
 {
 public int Runs { get; set; }
 public string Country { get; set; }
 }

Now when user tapd RadHubTile you need to read values of NotficationTemplate TextBlocks. To do this you need to handle tap event. Register tap event to RadHubTile as following ,


public MainPage()
 {
 this.InitializeComponent();
 rdRunsHubTiles.Tapped += rdRunsHubTiles_Tapped;

 }

Now in the Tap event we can read controls values as following,


void rdRunsHubTiles_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
 {

Data valueOfNotification = (sender as RadHubTile).DataContext as Data ;
 var runsettocontrol = valueOfNotification.Runs;
 var countrysettocontrol = valueOfNotification.Country;
 }

In above code we are

1. Typecasting sender as RadHubTile

2. Reading DataContext of RadHubTile as Data

3. Reading set values as property

So in this way we can read NotificationTemplate controls value. I hope you find this post useful. Thanks for reading.
