Without seeing any code, we can't even begin to guess (although I assume you are using Launcher.LaunchDefaultProgram). Sorry.

So how do you get a WPF app to run from metro?

I misread your question, I thought you meant you were trying to launch a WPF from another WPF app running in Metro.

Anyone have any resources for getting started developing WPF apps on Windows 8? I have been to MSDN and Googled alot, but since Windows 8 is still in preview, there's not alot out there as far as development resources.
Thanks

I am writing code for a WPF application in VS C# Express 2010. I need to use the Windows API code pack for using the 'File Thumbnail handlers' provided by the API. I downloaded and installed the code pack but when I open the WindowsAPICodePack solution in Express, and try to build it, it shows 16 errors. I have put two of them here :
Error 16 Metadata file 'C:\Users\General\Documents\Windows API Code Pack 1.1\Windows API Code Pack 1.1\source\WindowsAPICodePack\Shell\bin\Debug\Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell.dll' could not be found
Error 11 The type 'System.Windows.Markup.IQueryAmbient' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Xaml, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.
Has anyone worked with WindowsAPICodePack in VS Express version? Does it work only with Professional and Ultimate? Please help.

This looks like the code pack was written in .NET3.5. System.Xaml.dll was introduced in .NET 4, so you need to update your project references to include things like System.Xaml.dll.
|
|
|
|
|
I cannot find System.Xaml in 'References' in VS Express(neither in .Net nor COM). How do I go about doing it? Could you please give more information on that?
Is it doable in the express version?
|
|
|
|
|
Right click on your references, select Add reference. Choose Assemblies from the tablist on the left and make sure that Framework is highlighted. Ensure that your dialog says .NET Framework 4 above the list of assemblies. You may have to wait a little while at first because VS builds up a list of the relevant assemblies and caches them for later use. System.Xaml is just above System.Xml if you have sorted by name.
|
|
|
|
|
When I select 'Add reference', there is no "Assemblies" tabitem in the tablist. The available ones are - .Net, COM, Projects, Browse and Recent.
|
|
|
|
|
Try. Net then. I didn't know that the express editions were so different.
|
|
|
|
|
It's under the .NET tab and only takes a couple of seconds to find it.

Hi... So I want to change the item template for the selected item of a listbox. I know I need to use the VisualStatemanager to do this, but I'm not sure how to do it. All of the example I've found seem to be much more complicated than I need and/or I can't get them to work.
Basically, for an unselected item, I need to display the name property. And for a selected item I need to display a few other things. So My understanding is that I should use two different grids, and use the VisualState to turn toggle the visibility of the "detail" info. Can someone throw me a simple example?
Thanks.

No, you do not use VisualStateManager for this. There are two ways to go about this. If you want to keep your selected item and unselected item template completely separate, you can define two separate DataTemplates (selected & unselected) and swap them out in ListBoxItem via a trigger. It sounds like what would be better in your case is to have a single template where you just collapse visibility on the stuff you don't want to show via a trigger.

Modify the style of the ListBox. Check this[^] out for a listing of styles / templates associated to the ListBox item.

Thanks for the link.
SL4PopupMenuDemo v1.46 Beta.zip
Downloaded it but it gives an error message:
The project SL4PopupMenu is under source control. An error occured registering this project with source control.
When I check the files, none of them are readonly and there does not seem to be any source safe files attached.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks

There is a way to remove code from a source control.
You can use go to File->Source Control->Change Source Control and remove the project.
|
|
|
|

I have not added it to the source control.
And that is why I do not see it connected to source control.

Hi,
Do you know how to play a DVD in WPF platform?
The MediaElement doesn't support this format, and i try to use the VLC Component.
The MediaToolkit that many people suggest me doesn't work.
Thanks for your attention,
Regards,
Alessio.

I have a sneaky feeling this is going to be one of those DRM issues. I'm pretty sure the reason for the media player control not being able to read DVD formats is the encoding and that is due to DRM copyrights.
I could be wrong but I feel correct about this.

I have three UI elements on my View that are Bound to a Property in my ViewModel:
...
xmlns:myViewModel="clr-namespace:....ThisViewModel"
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=LengthProperty.Name}" .../>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=LengthProperty.Value}" .../>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=LengthProperty.UOM}" .../>
This works as expected and shows no data when the LengthProperty is Nothing.
I want to modify this so that when the LengthProperty is Nothing, the view displays data from an alternative CavityProperty property in the ViewModel.
Can this be done in xaml? or should I code it in the ViewModel?
Any pointers are most appreciated.

Sounds like a job for a multi value converter.
|
|
|
|

I think you are right. It is the implementation I am struggling with. I assume the Converter lives with the ViewModel, however, accesing it in the view is proving probematic...
...
<TextBock.Text>
<MultiBinding Converter="{ ??? }">
<Binding Path="lenProp"/>
<Binding Path="cavProp"/>
</MultiBimding>
</TextBlock.Text>
How do I access the Converter (<MultiBinding Converter="{ ??? }"/>) ?
