ViewModel constructor cannot be overloaded

[Dragnalith]

I have tested again, and you're right it works. I am not sure what I did wrong before

Hi @Dragnalith ,

it is possible to have several constructors. You can just call the InitializeCommands method, as it is a method of the ViewModel class.

This here is a fully valid ViewModel:

[ViewModel]
public partial class MainViewModel
{
  public MainViewModel(string customerParameter)
  {
    this.InitializeCommands();
  }

  public MainViewModel(string customerParameter, int customParameter2)
  {
    this.InitializeCommands();
  }

  [Command]
  public void Save() { }
}

You can also call the generated constructor

  [ViewModel]
  public partial class MainViewModel
  {
    public MainViewModel(string customerParameter) : this()
    {
     
    }

    [Command]
    public void Save() { }
  }

There's no need to mark InitializeCommands nor the generated constructor as partial, because these members are already in your ViewModel class. The ViewModel class is just split across two files, the one you create, and the one generated.

Please provide a code example where you have problems, then I can take a look at it. But all the issues you described actually work with MvvmGen.

Hope this helps,
Thomas

No problem @Dragnalith, that's what I'm here for, to help if something does not work as expected.

Glad that it works now for you.

Thank you for the feedback,
Thomas
