Hmm.. but then, can we use GridSplitters inside a DockPanel? If yes, how?

|

Yeah! That could be one way. It helps. Thanks!!

I want to put a window in a class library so i can use it in multiple places but I've noticed that I don't have the option of adding a WPF window to my project. If I right-click in the solution explorer, I can add a new item but I can only add a Windows Form (non WPF) or a "User Control (WPF)". Is there a way I can do this easily?
FYI... I'm new to this whole WPF thing so I'm still trying to figure it all out.

Add a User Control and change the code from UserControl to Window. It's no harder than that. There are two places to change - the XAML and the code behind; make sure you change both.

I thought about that... and I did change the code. I wasn't sure about the XAML stuff though. I've only ever really used MFC and just got into WPF a few weeks ago. I'm not sure I like all this XML stuff. :-p

You get used to it, and it gets very addictive. It takes a bit of perserverance, but once you get it it's hard to go back.

Most real programmer (programmers with significant unmanaged coding experience) feel that way. If you want to experience REAL pain, try doing an entire WPF app without XAML. Only one word describes the experience, and that word starts with the letter "cluster".

I'm getting this exception when one of my silverlight pages tries to render. Does anybody have idea why this would happen?

Something appears to have gone wrong in the xaml.
Is something (another control perhaps) placed inside the Content of another control?

This started happening immediately after I installed the Infragistics toolkits (and without even using them).

Hi John,
Generally we face this issue when we have a bad XAML. But in your case, did you add the reference of your external library in your project? If that is the case, then it might be because that is trying to access the same library from both the assembly.
Can you please try uninstalling the external library and reinstalling it again?

The Infrashitstix charts don't crash the app. I have no idea why they're interfering with the standrad charts unless its object name collisions of some sort.

I have a path being drawn (in the shape of a triangle). I need the triangle to be the static height, but the width needs to change to fit inside its container element. How do I go about doing that? The container in question is a variable number of Border components placed in a grid (and a grid-column).
SOLUTION: Used a RenderTransform.

I could use some recommendations for an entry level WPF book.
Thanks
Everything makes sense in someone's mind

Hy,
there are some nice articles here on CP especially by Josh Smith and the Barber(Sacha)
As for books I would recommend three:
1) Teach yourself WPF in 24 Hours by Sams(really good for beginers)
2) WPF Unleashed - also by Sams => really good book. If you're not a total begginer you could skip the first one.
3) And finally WPF Control Development Unleashed (Building advanced UX(user experiences)).
The third book should only be aproached once you have the basics figured out.

I've had this problem for years on XP and Server 2003 (newer OS's don't seem to have a problem). Whenever the resolution changes it gets into this state. The patch didn't do anything for me - I either have to restart or use the arrow keys to move through the combo box items. This could be fixed in 4.0, I have not tried. I'm still on 3.5 SP1.

I am on 3.5 as well. I am in a process to create a prototype and propose WPF for our new application suite. Now this bug scales down all the UI I have done so far using Transparency and rounded window etc.
Yes, this problem is specific to XP and I don't think we are upgrading to Win7 anytime soon at our enterprise level.
A naive question, ideally, to develop using .NET 4.0 would I need to upgrade to VS 2010?
|

It's not a naive question. Given the fact that VS allows multi-targetting, this is a perfectly reasonable question. The answer, is yes - you really do need to upgrade to VS2010.

Thanks Pete.
Upgrading it to VS2010 is another issue for us at the moment, VS2008 would be OK. I think I am going to have a bit hard time presenting WPF as the better candidate for our Enterprise apps. An alternate option being considered is Google Web Toolkit/Java at the moment.
We have quite a few native apps in VS2003 and .NET apps in 2005. I recently started using VS2008 for WPF.
I tried installing .NET 4 and it failed on XP! I found quite a few people have this issue. I'll dig into this sometime later today.

Hi all,
I'm excited to inform you that CodeFort with its release last week broke the barrier and became the first .NET obfuscator to support renaming of identifiers in XAML and BAML code. This is a huge step forward in .NET obfuscation technology, because it removes the need to manually exclude all the Presentation Layer properties and types from obfuscation, as you need to with most obfuscation tools today. Of course it will mean a great improvement in security in terms of protecting your intellectual property rights from attackers.
CodeFort also comes with a range of powerful protection features such as Reference Scrambling and Anti-Tampering, making it a state-of-the-art protection tool. Reference Scrambling decouples the link between calls to external methods, and the reference to those methods, making it impossible for an attacker to browse through IL or disassembled code, because the method calls are pointing to unusable locations.
Check out the free version if you're interested - we are very much looking forward to your feedback!
CodeFort Free Edition [codefort.org]
Best regards,
Christian

We certainly agree that applying renaming to XAML/BAML resources has been a longstanding limitation for obfuscators. We have also been working on this problem and we too are in the final phase of beta testing the latest Dotfuscator release. In this latest release, Dotfuscator is extending renaming into your XAML/BAML. This has three benefits; more of your assembly is protected, your XAML/BAML is protected, and you save time since configuration is now much simpler.
If you would like to run your application through this beta version of Dotfuscator, just email me (sebastian@preemptive.com) and I will have our support team send you credentials. This is beta – there are no fees – and you will have access to our support – but you cannot use this version for any production work. .NET 1.1 or higher is the only requirement.
We are seeing good results - for example, three production applications yielded the following increased coverage:
• Medical imaging – increased protected surface from 27% to 100%.
• Measuring device – increased protected surface from 26% to 78%.
• Software development tool – increased protected surface from 61% to 100%.
…but we want to be sure we are covering all bases – so challenge us with your most complex WPF applications and let’s see how we do. Thanks!
