'EditItem' is not allowed for this view. WPF .NET 4 / EF 4.1 - Master - Detail_问答_开发者

Ok, in order to try to find an answer for this question I have made an even simpler project, using the AdventureWorks database.

I created a Model from the Vendor and PurchaseOrderHeader tables - added them as a datasource to the project, and have the following code:

XAML:

<Window x:Class="EFDbContextTest.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

<Window.Resources>
    <CollectionViewSource x:Key="vendorViewSource" d:DesignSource="{d:DesignInstance my:Vendor, CreateList=True}" />
    <CollectionViewSource x:Key="vendorPurchaseOrderHeadersViewSource" Source="{Binding Path=PurchaseOrderHeaders, Source={StaticResource vendorViewSource}}" />
</Window.Resources>
<Grid DataContext="{StaticResource vendorViewSource}">
    <DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" EnableRowVirtualization="True" Height="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Margin="12,12,0,0" 
              Name="vendorDataGrid" RowDetailsVisibilityMode="VisibleWhenSelected" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="1084" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" 
              SelectedValuePath="VendorID">
        <DataGrid.Columns>

namespace EFDbContextTest
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        Entities _context = new Entities();

        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            System.Windows.Data.CollectionViewSource vendorViewSource =
                ((System.Windows.Data.CollectionViewSource)(this.FindResource("vendorViewSource")));
        _context.Vendors.Include("PurchaseOrderHeaders").Load();
        vendorViewSource.Source = _context.Vendors.Local;

        }
    }
}

So, both grids are on the Window, you can edit/delete/update the Master grid like there's no tomorrow - as soon as you try to click into any cell on the detail grid you get the error 'EditItem' is not allowed for this view.

I have to be missing something here, because this happens to me in several instances where I have a Master-Detail view using EF 4.1 - help!

If the PurchaseOrderHeaders collection property in your Vendor class is of type ICollection<T> then this could be source of your problem. To get a datagrid which allows editing the source collection must be of type IList<T> or any type which implements IList<T> like List<T> or ObservableCollection<T>. You will probably need to change the collection type of PurchaseOrderHeaders in your model class accordingly.

Edit

According to @Allon Guralnek's comment below it is necessary to implement the non-generic IList interface to get an editable DataGrid. This is the case for ObservableCollection<T> and List<T>. Other implementations which only implement the generic IList<T> but not the non-generic IList won't make the DataGrid editable.
