generating Viewmodel from derived model

[thomasclaudiushuber]

Hi @khaledafifi , sorry, I was on holidays.

You're missing the public access modifier here. Private members are not visible in subclasses. Should be

class A : MvvmGen.ViewModel.ViewModelBase
{
public string id{get; set;}
public string Name{get; set;}
}

class B : A
{
public string Email {get; set; }
}

Please let me know if this works for you.

the same result .. the generated vm publish prosperities only from the derived class not the base.
please try yourself.
thanks to your great project.

Hi @khaledafifi ,

I tried it. I defined these ViewModels

namespace MyViewModels
{
  [ViewModel]
  public partial class A : ViewModelBase
  {
    [Property]
    private string id;

    [Property]
    private string name;
  }

  [ViewModel]
  public partial class B : A
  {
    [Property]
    private string email;
  }
}

All properties from A are available on B through inheritance and this code works:

B b = new B();
b.Id = 5;
b.Name = "Thomas";
b.Email = "Testmail";

Note that the code editor in Visual Studio might show errors where no errors exist. They still need to catch up a bit with editor support for source generators.

Ok, reproduced. You're using the ModelType property of the attribute I guess to generate a ViewModel from a Model.

So, for the code below, the MyViewModel should have the properties Name and Email, but it has only an Email property.

public class BaseType
{
    public string? Name { get; set; }
}

public class SubType : BaseType
{
    public string? Email { get; set; }
}

[ViewModel(ModelType = typeof(SubType))]
public partial class MyViewModel
{

}

The generated output in MvvmGen version 1.1.2 is this, the Name property is missing:

namespace WpfApp2
{
    partial class MyViewModel : global::MvvmGen.ViewModels.ViewModelBase
    {
        public MyViewModel()
        {
            this.OnInitialize();
        }

        partial void OnInitialize();

        public string? Email
        {
            get => Model.Email;
            set
            {
                if (Model.Email != value)
                {
                    Model.Email = value;
                    OnPropertyChanged("Email");
                }
            }
        }

        protected WpfApp2.SubType Model { get; set; }
    }
}

Thank you @khaledafifi for the issue. It's fixed and it will be part of an upcoming release.
