Ok,

In my view XAML I think the only relevant bits are:

XML

<UserControl.DataContext>
  <local:ViewModelLoadTest />
</UserControl.DataContext>

            <Button Height="32"
                    Width="128"
                    Margin="5"
                    Content="Run Test"
                    Command="{Binding RunTestCommand}"/>

<ListBox ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
         FontFamily="Consolas"
         FontSize="12"
         ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Results}">
</ListBox>

I've tried some of the Binding options like Async.
There's nothing in the .xaml.cs file apart from the initialize call. Oh and its in a UserControl because my app has two modes so I'm using a tab control displaying two UserControls.

For my ViewModel, I've got an abstract base ViewModel then a design time and run time classes.
All the child classes do is set some properties, there's no other methods or additional properties.

In the base ViewModel class the collection is defined:

private ObservableCollection<string> _results = new ObservableCollection<string>();
public ObservableCollection<string> Results
{
    get { return _results; }
    set
    {
        _results = value;

        RaisePropertyChanged("Results");
    }
}

I've tried the creation of the collection in the constructor of the BaseViewModel and in the constructors of the child classes.

And in case its my Task stuff that's wrong:

private void DoRunTestCommand()
{
    _cancellationTokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();

    Log(String.Format("Submitting {0} requests, every {1}ms, {2} at time."
        , Model.NumberOfRequests
        , Model.MSBetweenRequests
        , Model.NumberOfConcurrentRequests));

    CancellationToken cancellationToken = _cancellationTokenSource.Token;

    Task[] tasks = new Task[Model.NumberOfRequests];

    for (int i = 0; i < Model.NumberOfRequests; i++)
    {
        int idx = i;

        Task r = Task.Factory.StartNew((state) =>
            {
                SubmitRequest((int) state);

                cancellationToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
            }
            , i
            , cancellationToken
            , TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning
            , TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext());

        tasks[i] = r;

        Thread.Sleep(Model.MSBetweenRequests);
    }

    Log("Done");
}

private void SubmitRequest(int reqNum)
{

    Log(String.Format("{0} Started", reqNum));

    Thread.Sleep(1000);

    Log(String.Format("{0} Finished", reqNum));
}

private void Log(string text)
{
    Results.Add(String.Format("{0}: {1}", DateTime.Now, text));
}

Obviously SubmitRequest will do something else, I was just trying to get the UI working before I put the exact details in.

Solved it I think.

I mentioned that I was trying the AsyncObservableCollection, apparently if I use that then I don't want to pass TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext() to the task. I don't understand why (I guess a conflict somewhere)...but not sure if I need to understand either Smile | :)

So my ObservableCollection is now defined as:

private ObservableCollection<string> _results = new AsyncObservableCollection<string>();
public ObservableCollection<string> Results
{
    get { return _results; }
    set
    {
        _results = value;

        RaisePropertyChanged("Results");
    }
}

And my tasks updated the ListBox as and when they start/finish.

So I've just got to check if cancellation works, and see if I can still use WaitAll. Ideally I'd like a message when the tasks have all been started and finished (more a WhenAll (if that even exists)), at the moment I get that in the middle. But if I use WaitAll then I don't get the async updating.

Note for any others if your using .NET 4.5 then I don't think any of this is an issue as they changed the ObversableCollection.

Using TaskScheduler.Default or TaskScheduler.Current work when using the AsyncObservableCollection, its just FromCurrentSynchronizationContext that doesn't.

Use the INotifyPropertyChanged event on the observable collection.
This will be a neater and simpler solution.

How do you mean? The ViewModel already had that, and that on its own didn't work. No items were added until the end.

private ObservableCollection<string> _results = new ObservableCollection<string>();
public ObservableCollection<string> Results
{
    get { return _results; }
    set
    {
        _results = value;

        RaisePropertyChanged("Results");
    }
}

Or do you mean create a class that derives from ObservableCollection and implement it there?

You could check the lstSomething.SelectedItems it should give you all the selected items. Then use a for each or iterate through the collection.

                </Border.Triggers>
              
            </Border>
  </ControlTemplate>

Its displays the button with Flashing while loading.

But when i Change the border color from code behind

button1.BorderBrush = Brushes.Blue;

Then the a flashing stops .
How to active it again ?how to trigger the border.loaded event from code behind ?

Hi All, i am attaching my class design and the xaml code which i am using to create a treeview item with circular reference. I am able to update the collecitons from the codebehind but unfortuntely it is not reflecting in the code behind. Please help me in esolving this

Stack panel

Hello,
I want to add dynamically many controls to a window.
I wanted to use a stack panel container but a stack panel has either horizontal or vertical orientation.
I want to add the control horizontally and when there are three user controls in one row i want to go to next row and start adding the controls there and so on.
The user can also delete a control so the other controls have to be reorganized automatically.

Any one has an idea how to do it?

Thanks.

Use a "UniformGrid" with 3 columns for organizing the controls, and the .Children.Add method to add controls.

Use the .Children.Remove method to "delete" a control.

I used a wrap panel from the tool kit for this, bind it to a collection and add/delete the items in the collection.

XML

<ItemsControl Grid.Row="1"  ItemsSource="{Binding FleetList}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
					<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
						<ItemsPanelTemplate>
							<toolkit:WrapPanel/>
						</ItemsPanelTemplate>
					</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
					<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
						<DataTemplate>
							<HyperlinkButton Click="HyperlinkButton_Click" Tag="{Binding Path=FleetID}" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" >
								<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Center" >
									<Grid.RowDefinitions>
										<RowDefinition/>
										<RowDefinition/>
									</Grid.RowDefinitions>
									<Image Grid.Row="0" Stretch="None" Source="{Binding Path=FleetLogoUri}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" ImageFailed="GetDefaultImage" Loaded="ImageLoaded" />
									<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Foreground="Blue" Text="{Binding Path=Fleet}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
								</Grid>
							</HyperlinkButton>
						</DataTemplate>
					</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
				</ItemsControl>

Use a DataGridTemplateColumn and host the buttons inside there. Have a look at this[^].

Loading XAML at runtime

Hi,

I'm working on loading xaml code at runtime.
Until now, I can do it with XAML files which are set as "Resource"...but I would like to load it from a user's folder (let's say the "Desktop Folder" for example)
How should I please proceed?

The XAML example file, loaded as resource file in my project (but I would like to use it "independently")

XML

<Grid xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <Border Width="385" Height="385" Margin="0,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" CornerRadius="8" Background="#FF0085C8">
</Grid>

The Application XAML code

XML

<Window x:Class="MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
</Window>

The Application VB.Net code

Class MainWindow
    Private Sub MainWindow_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded
        Dim GridUri As New Uri("Resources\theme.xaml", UriKind.Relative)
        Dim sri As Windows.Resources.StreamResourceInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(GridUri)
        Dim xrdr As New System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader()
        Dim grd As Grid = CType(xrdr.LoadAsync(sri.Stream), Grid)
        Me.Content = grd
    End Sub
End Class

Thank you!

if your application is WPF application you can load a physical file

Imports System.Windows.Markup

Class MainWindow

    Private Sub Window_Loaded(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
        Dim objXaml = XamlReader.Load(IO.File.Open(Environment.CurrentDirectory & "Resource\theme.xaml", IO.FileMode.Open))
    End Sub
End Class

if it was a silverlight application you cant do that Frown | :(

WPF First Start Performance

Hi! I have some WPF windows built in a class library. Also I have unmanaged app that calls these windows through ComVisible interface.

The problem: I have a big delay on calling WPF windows first time.
I suppose it happens because WPF engine loading.

Please, suggest some ideas or workarounds on performance improvements.
Thanks!

If you want performance improvements then you should not be using managed code from an unmanaged application.
