How to Detect Two Properties in ReactiveUI

ReactiveUI is a powerful framework for building interactive applications using a reactive programming model in C-. As applications grow in complexity, developers often face challenges managing state and responding to changes effectively. One common scenario is needing to perform actions based on the state of multiple properties. This guide will guide you in detecting state changes in two properties using ReactiveUI, focusing specifically on a scenario where one property needs to be true and another false.

The Problem

Let's begin by exploring the situation you might find yourself in. Imagine you have two boolean properties, Ch1SW and Ch2SW, that control some functionality in your application. You need to run a task when:

Ch1SW is true

Ch2SW is false

You might start with the following approach, trying to subscribe to changes in both properties:

Unfortunately, this code might not work as anticipated due to some important details regarding property visibility and change notifications.

The Solution

The key to making this code functional is ensuring that the properties are both public and properly notify the framework when their values change. Here’s how you can do that:

Step 1: Make Properties Public

For ReactiveUI to monitor the properties, you will need to ensure that they are accessible. Change the property declarations as follows:

Step 2: Use the Reactive Attribute

By specifying the [Reactive] attribute (which can be included via the ReactiveUI.Fody package), you allow the ReactiveUI framework to know that these properties implement a notification mechanism. This is essential for the WhenAnyValue method to work correctly.

Step 3: Subscribe to the Properties

Now, you can initiate your logic in the constructor of your ViewModel. You will subscribe to any changes in the properties:

Step 4: Implement the Asynchronous Function

Next, you’ll need to create the asynchronous function that will run your desired task based on the conditions you've set forth:

Important Note

Make sure your ViewModel class inherits from ReactiveObject. This inheritance is crucial as it provides the necessary implementation for property change notifications required by ReactiveUI.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you'll be able to effectively monitor and react to changes in two properties using ReactiveUI. This approach allows you to run tasks that depend on the states of these properties, enhancing the interactivity of your application. Remember to always consider visibility and change notification issues when dealing with observables in ReactiveUI. Your applications will be more dynamic and responsive to user inputs, ultimately resulting in a better user experience.
