description

Steps to reproduce...

Set DataContext to null or simply try to clear the binding and boom...

at Microsoft.Phone.Controls.ListPicker.OnSelectedItemChanged(DependencyObject o, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
at System.Windows.DependencyObject.RaisePropertyChangeNotifications(DependencyProperty dp, Object oldValue, Object newValue)
at System.Windows.DependencyObject.UpdateEffectiveValue(DependencyProperty property, EffectiveValueEntry oldEntry, EffectiveValueEntry& newEntry, ValueOperation operation)
at System.Windows.DependencyObject.ClearValueInternal(DependencyProperty dp)
at System.Windows.DependencyObject.ClearValue(DependencyProperty dp)
at NotImportant_Unloaded_1(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
at MS.Internal.CoreInvokeHandler.InvokeEventHandler(Int32 typeIndex, Delegate handlerDelegate, Object sender, Object args)
at MS.Internal.JoltHelper.FireEvent(IntPtr unmanagedObj, IntPtr unmanagedObjArgs, Int32 argsTypeIndex, Int32 actualArgsTypeIndex, String eventName)

Same thing happens if the SelectedItem is set before ItemsSource, which happens for me when bindings are defined in XAML file. Now I have to move the SelectedItem binding the the code behind, manually adding it in the Loaded event for the page, in order to make sure it is not set before the ItemsSource is set.

Moving ItemsSource attribute in front of SelectedItem attribute with binding in XAML solved my problem here.

Same things happens to me, moving the SelectedItem after the ItemsSource didnt solve my problem, I'm using MVVM, so the binding is in my viewmodel.

How do I get this thing work?

Same thing happens when you bind both ItemsSource and SelectedIndex to your Viewmodel.
Sometimes it helps to move ItemsSource before SelectedIndex, but then if ItemsSource is bound to another ViewModel, that loads a bit slower, you get the same error.
I could not find a good workaround fro this issue. Also the designer crashes all the time with this exception.
For me it makes the control hardly unusable. It would be great if someone could have a look at it.

So Microsoft has a bug in their toolkit which makes using one of the most popular controls IMPOSSIBLE, and it remains unfixed for months without so much as a single comment?

Whoever is responsible for the toolkit ought to be fired and replaced by someone who actually gives a shit.
