Hi,
While playing around with the MVVM approach for the controls, I discovered something I believe is a bug. I was trying to display multiple viewmodels where the DataTemplate contains a MapView in an itemscontrol (TabControl), I discovered that the map is not displayed. I get an empty map, which is of no real use. It is just an empty control with the ESRI logo. I get the same result using a ContentPresenter.
The following should be sufficient to reproduce. SomeClass is just an empty class in this example. Having a map property on this class, and binding the MapView.Map to that property doesn't work either.
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width=".5*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width=".5*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<esri:MapView Grid.Column="0">
<!-- This map works -->
<esri:Map>
<esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer ID="h" ServiceUri="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer" />
</esri:Map>
</esri:MapView>
<ContentPresenter Grid.Column="1">
<!-- This map does not work -->
<ContentPresenter.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="viewModels:SomeClass" >
<esri:MapView>
<esri:Map>
<esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer ID="h" ServiceUri="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer" />
</esri:Map>
</esri:MapView>
</DataTemplate>
</ContentPresenter.ContentTemplate>
<ContentPresenter.Content>
<viewModels:SomeClass />
</ContentPresenter.Content>
</ContentPresenter>
</Grid>
I have to admit that this is rather inconvenient for what I need to do in my application, so I was wondering if there is a suggested workaround, and if this is possible to fix somewhat shortly?
