I have a window with 2 splitters. Thus makes up a left pane, a tab area, and a right pane. Think Visual Studio
The left splitter works fine, but the right does not. Here's the XAML. Paste into a window and you'll see what I mean. The spliiter is there, just all the way over to the right:

Here's one tough question - I am suspecting Dispatcher deadlock, thus freezing the UI (after I click SaveItems button some number of times).
The following event handler "OnItemsReloaded" is triggered async from another thread ("LoadItems" thread - which holds a lock on an object "ItemsSyncRoot". Another thread ("SaveItems" thread) also competes to lock on to this object.
(So yes, LoadItems thread and SaveItems thread contending for same lock)
Here's the EMPTY Dispatcher.Invoke (Triggered by "LoadItems" thread - a background thread):
<br />
private void OnItemsReloaded(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
SchedulesGrid.Dispatcher.Invoke(<br />
System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Normal,<br />
new Action(<br />
delegate()<br />
{<br />
}<br />
));<br />
<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
If I change above from "Invoke" to "BeginInvoke" - UI no longer freeze! Question is why. (Please note for debugging purpose, event handler Dispatcher delegate is empty! [So no lock in Dispatch.Invoke delegate!]
[SAME, UI don't freeze if I put a "return" before "Dispatcher" invoke!?]
I futher attempted to nail down the scope further by:
(a) Attached Visual Studio debugger to the running/freezed UI - then from Intellitrace, "Breakall"- which reveals that execution of a "Background" thread freeze on attempting to lock(ItemsSyncRoot). Since this is a background thread ("SaveItems" thread) which attempted to lock(ItemsSyncRoot) - this does NOT explains why UI freezed!
(b) Windbg - !syncblk,) then !clrstack - which pointed me to the [Dispatcher.Invoke] as stated above! But what's confusing is, I don't see why an "Empty Dispatcher Invoke" can lead to UI freezing up.
Note that from !syncblk Info=64. I used that in !clrstack command (Is this right?)
<br />
0:210> .loadby sos clr <-- This is to load SOS managed code debugger extension (From same dir as CLR)<br />
0:210> !syncblk <-- List locks, note Info=64. Next command uses this thread ID 64 to retrieve CLR stack of thread 64.<br />

Note that after I changed Dispatcher.Invoke to Dispatcher.BeginInvoke the problem basically resolved. I just want to know why it happenned. (If WPF Dispatcher framework... any issue...)
I also used Steve Johnson's SOSEX debugger - scan indicated Absence of deadlock!
Confused.

Found the answer, share it here to dispel myth Dispatcher.Invoke buggy...
thread A background thread
<br />
lock(SomeSingleton)<br />
{<br />
LoadItems(..) --> This will trigger event "ItemsReloaded", and one UI thread handler handles this. Problem is, "SaveItems" button clicked after initial lock to SomeSingleton but before "ItemsReloaded" fired.<br />
}<br />
UI Thread handler for "ItemsLoaded":
<br />
...<br />
ItemsGrid.Dispatcher.Invoke( System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Background,<br />
new Action(<br />
delegate()<br />
{<br />
}<br />
...<br />
Thread B (UI Thread)
void btnItemsSaved_Clicked(...)
{
lock(SomeSingleton) // Block by thread A, thus hanging UI thread.
{
// blocked indefinitely as Thread A cannot return until "ItemsLoaded" (thus its UI handler) is fired.
}
return;
}
Hope it helps.
What's INTERESTING though, is Windbg pointed me to lock statement in THREAD-A, whereas, if I attached Visual Studio debugger (with Intellitrace), it lead me straight to lock statement in THREAD-B
Also, in this situation, there's only one "SingletonLock" - not the textbox deadlock situation where you have lock(LockA) and lock(LockB) with two threads locking in reverse order.

You may have only one lock instruction, but there is another lock.
The Invoke itself is a kind of lock. It will wait until the action finishes. That's why it dead-locks (and the BeginInvoke does not, as it does not wait).

Hi
Regarding my service class attribute, [EnableClientAccess(RequiresSecureEndpoint = true)], I was wondering if it was possible to change the value of RequiresSecureEndpoint based on a value I can set in the config file. e.g.
<appSettings>
<add key="RequireSSL" value="True" />
</appSettings>
Thanks

I have the following set-up:
1. ViewModel:
...
public ICommand LoadSomeViewCommand;
public SomeViewModel(IRegionManager regionManager, IUnityContainer container)
{
this._regionManager = regioinManager;
this._container = container;
LoadCommand = new RelayCommand(new Action<object>(LoadSomeViewExecute), new Predicate<object>(CanLoadExecute));
}
...
private void LoadSomeViewExecute(object obj)
{
IRegion mainRegion = _regionManager.Regions[RegionNames.MainRegion];
foreach (var v in mainRegion.Views)
{
mainRegion.Remove(v);
}
_regionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion(RegionNames.MainRegion, typeof(SomeNewView));
}
private bool CanLoadExecute(object obj)
{
return true;
}
in the View.cs:
public SomeView(IRegionManager regionManager, IUnityContainer container)
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = new SomeViewModel(regionManager, container);
}
public SomeViewModel ViewModel
{
get { return (SomeViewModel)this.DataContext; }
}
and in xaml:
...
<StackPanel grid.Row="2">
<Button Content="Load"
Command="{Binding LoadCommand}"/>
...
</StackPanel>
When I click the button to load another component, the LoadCommand has been set in the constructor but never seems to be called on the button click.
I have been converting a VB project to C# to try and learn the language and maybe I have missed something in the translation.
I have other containers injecting into the shell that don't use Command calls that are working fine.

Dunno if you want these kinds of comments, so feel free to ignore them if you are offended  , but your question IS answered below.
1) Bad practice to litter your code with 'this'. It's not needed as its implied.
2) Bad practice to use an interface to reference a concrete class inside of the class itself (public ICommand LoadSomeViewCommand)... its a RelayCommand, not an ICommand. You should only pass it around externally as an ICommand.
3) Your implementation of RelayCommand isn't correct. You should not need all that new Action, new Predicate garbage.
4) Your non-generic RelayCommand should not take any params. RelayCommand<T> is the one that takes a param and that one should be type safe. Don't pass in an object, pass in the real type.
5) *THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION* You can't databind to a variable. Only properties.
6) If you are using UnityContainer, or any other DI container. USE IT. In your SomeView contructor, you have the unity container reference, but aren't using it to create the object.
7) Better to use an attached property to set your data context, so you get rid of all the hand wiring with a code behind.
8) Stop using var's for simple types. This isn't JavaScript  . Vars have specific uses, this isn't one of them.

Cheers, i am not easily offended and want to learn this the correct way - very hard without someone to bounce off. As I said, this is from a VB project I am converting to try nd get the hang of the language.
You have given me a few things to work on,and probably learn from.
Thanks

One of the default rules in FXCop or style cop or some such horror dictates the use of this. EVERYWHERE, I do find it useful for limiting the scope of intellisense but it really feels like using the VB me. which I still cringe at!
Oh and if I remember correctly Andy is a Kiwi living in Oz, the bugger has to have a thick skin and anyone using VB grows one naturally!

Having not yet had this experience and only dealt with his pleasantly abrasive online personality I do look forward to the opportunity when I next hit Sydney. As I now visit Cairns instead I don't know when this will happen though.
I have an ebook (somewhere) I used when moving from VB to C#, it helped with the syntax differences, let me know if you are interested.

Sometimes I'll type "this" if I don't remember the prop name, but I'll delete the this afterwards. I use a leading underscore (which Andy did) on class member variables. That differentiates member variables from local variables. I think very few people agree on formatting / style issues . In my last job, my team lead insisted everybody format the code with 3 spaces. It took me a while to convince him that nobody else likes 3 spaces and if he went to tabs, then everybody could have it how they wanted without affecting the code. He still put up a fight. Only once I showed him that practice in action and how SCC still saw it as exactly the same did the light bulb finally come on.

My pet hates are underscores, capitalisation and anyone not using TAB set you = 2 spaces (SSMS uses 8  ).
Even if you use tabs and the size of the tabs are different it can totally screw up the formatting when changing developer, irritating to say the least.

+5 on that one. I think it makes code so unreadable.

So how do you easily differentiate between local variables, method parameters and class members?

A common trick with VMs is to apply lazy-loading to your commands. What you do is
private RelayCommand loadCommand;
public RelayCommand LoadCommand
{
get
{
if (loadCommand == null)
loadCommand = new RelayCommand((o)=> LoadSomeViewExecute, new Predicate<object>(CanLoadExecute));
return loadCommand;
}
}
|

Cheers Pete, I have used lazy loading with CSLA and will definitely take a look at this.
I am quickly getting around C# syntax and 'un-learning' some VB hacks!

Hi Friends
I want the WPF for the VB.Net(WinForm) to make a of Components
The ElementHost do not want to use
Thank you
|
|
|
|
|
If you're going to be hosting WPF inside WinForms, then you need the ElementHost, or you're going to have to write your own, which will end up doing what ElementHost does anyway.
|
|
|
|
|
WPF and Winforms are different programming languages and you should try and use only one or the other.
You can call one type in another, but it should only be for legacy systems and really not for any new application.
