How to add handler in dynamic datatemplate

I am successfully declaring a data template in a code behind as follows: private static DataTemplate CreateTemplate(string sortMemberPath, HorizontalAlignment horzAlignment) { const string xamlFormat = "<DataTemplate xmlns=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation\" >" + "<StackPanel > " + " <TextBlock Margin=\"2,0\" VerticalAlignment=\"Center\" HorizontalAlignment=\"_HALIGNMENT_\" " + " Text=\"hello there\"> " + " </TextBlock> " + "</StackPanel>" + "</DataTemplate>"; return (DataTemplate) XamlReader.Load(xamlReturned); } But now I want to add a size changed handler by changing the line: + "<StackPanel > " to + "<StackPanel SizeChanged="SizeChangedHandler" > " I have the method "SizeChangedHandler" declared in the code behind. This results in a xaml parse error when the control attempts to load at runtime. I suspect that it can't find the handler "SizeChangedHandler". How can I specify this handler so that the xaml parser is happy.

GUI design for color blindness

- by Phillip Ngan

It is common to represent status of an item in a GUI using the colors: red, yellow, green, to mean error, warning, and OK (or something equivalent). However, 7-10% of men have difficulty distinguishing between red and green because of color blindness. So far I've looked at Color Scheme Designer which simulates how people with different color blindnesses would perceive a set of colors, but I'm interested in hearing how you have approached this problem and how successful it was.

How do you use the immediate window in Visual Studio?

- by Phillip Ngan

The immediate window is an immensely useful tool for debugging applications. You can use it to execute code statements that are valid in the context of your break point and inspect values. I also use it to type code snippets to learn language features. How do you use the immediate window?

Cannot execute "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE" Mysql query in Rails after a connection reconnection

- by Ngan

On Rails 2.3.8 (but I think Rails 3 might have this issue as well, not sure): I get an error when trying to execute a LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE query after reconnecting to a database. I have a process that parses a file that can potentially take a bit of time. During the parsing, Mysql closes the connection due to timeout. This is fine, I do a ActiveRecord::Base.verify_active_connections! and I get the connection back (I do this in several places through my app). However, running a LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE statement, I get this error: Mysql::Error: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version It's not a permission issue, I know that for sure. Check out my test in console: ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/test.infile' INTO TABLE users") [Sat Jan 08 00:09:29 2011] (9990) SQL (1.7ms) LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/test.infile' INTO TABLE users => nil > ActiveRecord::Base.connection.disconnect! => #<Mysql:0x104c6f890> > ActiveRecord::Base.verify_active_connections!

It's just this one that giving me the error. I even tested this with a fresh rails app. You'll notice that I am able to do the exact same query before the disconnect. Thanks for the help!

I've noticed that in .Net 4, WPF FrameworkElements are able to bind to IDynamicMetaObjectProvider binding sources. Will this also be the case for Silverlight 4?
