Oh Pete, you die-hard WPF lover, are you telling me that's a bonifide release?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I am. I know the people working on it and I know how committed to it they are.
|
|

|

Ok bud what ever you say is true. I'm thinking it's a skeletal team doing skeletal things. Only time will truly tell us where WPF will go...

Huh? Microsoft announced a couple of months ago or so that they were back on the WPF band wagon and making "a lot" of changes to .NET 4.6 or whatever its called. Also, big enhancements to Visual Studio 2015 in terms of WPF.
Why would you want to run a "desktop app" inside of a browser? The browser environment is too limiting and performance sucks.
Of course there is a lot more web stuff. New desktop apps are a drop in the bucket compared to web.
The charting control? Come on man... that was a random side project that somebody at Microsoft did and it was never supported to begin with. If you want to do charts in WPF, get a WPF charting library. Yeah, there are a lot more web based ones obviously, and you have to pay for the good WPF ones, but they exist.
People do desktop apps to AVOID all the web issues... we don't want no stinkin' web garbage in WPF  .

Oh geez Sledge give me a break... I saw their list of "new features"... Tell me which one is your fav?
I never said I wanted to run a desktop app inside of a web browser. What I was alluding to is hosting web browsers with better control inside of WPF applications. In addition, seeing that MVC is a far easier framework wondering why WPF hasn't gone that route.
The Charting control? Yes... I mean even TFS 2013 shows charts all over the place. Want to impress some exec? Show them a graph, oh yeah, I forgot, just don't show it to them in WPF.
Hey Sledge; "how come" you never have provided any articles here on CP?

Performance and all the enhancements to the debugger.
MVVM is simple once you understand it. I admit it is kind of hard to understand at first, but once you do, its simple.
You are going to impress execs with the charting control? The charts it makes looks ugly. You have to pay for the good charting libraries. 2D charts are fairly easy to whip out in WPF. I built a bunch of spark line charts in a couple of weeks.
Nice production quality 3D web charts aren't free either.

No, it's not possible to impress execs with WPF charting. That's my point. System.Windows.Forms does a better job, but not the upscale "better" big brother. BTW, there are so many free charting solutions for web pages out there it's really not possible to figure it all out.
I agree MVVM is simple.
3D charting is free... again my point on the missing parts of WPF.

*shrug* ChartFX is pretty impressive:
http://www.softwarefx.com/sfxnetproducts/chartfx/wpf/features.aspx[^]
It's not free though. If you're trying to impress execs, whats $1300?
Regardless... I haven't seen free web charts that look that nice, but I haven't looked since I'm anti-web.
2D charts are easy to whip up in WPF. 3D charts... yeah, I'd spend the $1300... even as a "Mr. Smarty Pants"  , I don't get the 3D APIs. I've tried a few times, but gave up. You really need to understand 3D programming to use them.
The great Sacha posted a few 3D chart articles on here though, but they are just starting points. Not fully fleshed out and polished like ChartFx.

I checked it out. Looks OK for the 2D charts. Google does have a 3D pie chart. Doesn't look "bad" or anything... just the 3D pie chart from ChartFX looks way cooler IMO. Better angle on the pie (which I'm sure you can maybe adjust in the Google API), but I like the "shine" on the ChartFX one, gives it pop -- impresses execs LOL. Also, they have a lot of other 3D charts that Google doesn't have. If I was "told" to use the google charts, I would LOL, but I'd push for something better. I'm just going off the pics of course. If I was evaluating ChartFX, I'd have to download the trial and mess around with it. Some libs look cool in screenshots, but its very difficult to reproduce in code or performance is bad, etc.

Yes head's do explode, especially when they realize the limitations of the WPF framework. Not that this idea would have done anything to plug those gaps, it could make things much easier than they are today.

I think you're getting confused about the technological terms you're using. "MVC" is a presentation paradigm where you separate the data domain, the presentation, and the interface between the two into their own separate concerns. There is probably nothing stopping you doing this in WPF already. When you reference "MVC" I think you actually mean a "web site" in general with support for rendering via html and the accessing of remote resources via http.

No not confusing anything at all, but thanks for your response. And agreed the WPF MVC concept could be done today with the tools provided. There would still be view and viewmodel folders; however a new Controller folder would handle all "routing" requests. Of course WPF doesn't have a routing concepts because the view is routed automatically by WPF system. However, we see plenty of code for MessageBus and ICommands as well as RX implementation of event handlers.

Do you have the necessary permissions to update the server?
|
|
|
|
|
As of my knowledge Yes I gave the permissions. Can you please list out the what all are the required permissions
|
|
|

That would be a question for whoever maintains that server

Hi Iam using VS2010 Widows Applications. rdlc reports, reportviewer control.
With my report, I have a textBox Value like the below
=FormatNumber(First(Fields!inv_grand_total.Value, "DataSet1"),2)

But I wish to have
1,03,68,785.44
Is it possible..? Thanks

You could try writing your own FormatProvider as in this example.

Try setting the Language property of your report to "hi-IN".
