I am making a program in C# WPF using data binding, data templates and observable collection. I am basing my application on the Data Binding Demo from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms771319(v=vs.90).aspx. For some reason I cannot make my program display any data from binding. Debugging tells me that my Records class collection works but on this line:
records_collection_db = (CollectionViewSource)(this.Resources["records_collection_db"]);
my 'records_collection_db' variable in null whereas it should be holding some data. I suspect that that my CollectionViewSource in xaml line is set incorrectly but I don't really know how to fix it. It is my first program in WPF and so I don't have much experience on the subject. At this moment the only visible difference between my code and the one from sample is that my initial window is... a where in the demo it an
Code (or at least shortened version of it):

namespace WpfApplication1

{
private int Lp;
private string group;
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public int _Lp
{
get { return this.Lp; }
set { this.Lp = value; OnPropertyChanged("_Lp"); }
}
public string _group
{
get { return this.group; }
set { this.group = value; OnPropertyChanged("_group"); }
}
public Record(int Lp, string group)
{
this.Lp = Lp;
this.group = group;
}
protected void OnPropertyChanged(string property)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
}
}
}
}
