WPF is gaining foothold, I suspect more and more apps will use winforms in the future. Have you learned proper C#, things like different container classes, how to handle objects that are IDisposable, etc ? If not, I'd stick to winforms while learning the language a little better. Then I'd look into WPF.

i totally think you shoud turn to the WPF,as we know,some parts of the VS2010 is designed by WPF,so i think the microsoft will think highly of the WPF,and wo know the route MFC->WinForms->WPF.so we shoud learn the new tech~

thanks for the feed back I've already stared investigating WPF, pretty interesting so far. I'm using VS10 beta and it seems much better than express edition. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and purchase the standard edition when it come out.

WinForm will be replaced by WPF sooner or later. WPF is suitable for programing under Win7 or Vista OS.

So are WinForms - you need to define the reasons where WPF is superior to WinForms in order to convince people to use it.

Hi,

I am developing a WPF UI application .

I have a menu on top of the screen, which has File, Help menuitems.

In file -> Backend features (shortcut key is ctrl + B), Exit (Ctrl + x) sub menu items.

when clicked on any sub menu item, the corresponding window opens.

So, with out using mouse, by pressing ctrl + B or Ctrl + x, how can the window be opened??

Also, how can I display a small line below the "F" in the File so that when user presses Alt + F, the File menu should be visible.

I am working on WPF using C#.

Please guide me.

Thanks

Ramm

I would just handle the key press event, I'm not sure how to do shortcuts in WPF on the menu, if autocomplete and MSDN doesn't tell you, just handle the keypress directly

Try something like this,

<Menu DockPanel.Dock="Top">
    <MenuItem Header="_File">
        <MenuItem Header="Exit" InputGestureText="Ctrl+X">
        </MenuItem>
    </MenuItem>
</Menu>

And look at this[^] and this[^] for the CommandBinding option

Is there a property or style for the selection color? I use the VS2008.

I'm having the same problem on mine. I've even added a ClientAccessPolicy.xml file to the root of the website. This problem isn't plaguing me when running from localhost, but it is a problem on my test site. I'm thinking it's something to do with the cross domain security policy file, but I'm stuck there.

I copied the file under there to my directory and I'm still getting the same error. Is there something special that needs to be done for a Windows XP machine to be able to host WCF services in IIS?

WCF service problem in silverlight application

Hi,

I am working on Silverlight application in this I have to upload and display the images. I implemented this using silverlight service give below. THis worked fine for small size images and for images(memory size greaterthan 60KB) it is giving me exception as

"System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException"

"An exception occurred during the operation, making the result invalid. Check InnerException for exception details."

While debuging it is not even entering in to the WCF service. The control is directly passed to the Display Results method
I anyone know any solution to upload images of any size from a silverlight application please reply me.

Method in WCF service:

public List<AdImages> GetImages(byte[] imageData,string ImagePath )
{

----------Code to save images----------

}

public class AdImages
{
public byte[] ImgData { get; set; }
}

Calling service from silverlight application

Service1Client Img = new Service1Client();
Img.GetImagesAsync(fileBytes, ofd.File.Name);
Img.GetImagesCompleted += new EventHandler<GetImagesCompletedEventArgs>(DisplayResults);

Display results method:

void DisplayResults(object sender, GetImagesCompletedEventArgs e)
{
---------code to convert bytes to image and assign it to a image control---------
}

Thanks in advance.

May be because of maxBufferSize,maxReceivedMessageSize values in configuration.Check web.config for setting this values to higher value. Laugh | :laugh:
