  • Bi-directional view model syncing with "live" collections and properties (MVVM)

    - by Schneider
    I am getting my knickers in a twist recently about View Models (VM). Just like this guy I have come to the conclusion that the collections I need to expose on my VM typically contain a different type to the collections exposed on my business objects. Hence there must be a bi-directional mapping or transformation between these two types. (Just to complicate things, on my project this data is "Live" such that as soon as you change a property it gets transmitted to other computers) I can just about cope with that concept, using a framework like Truss, although I suspect there will be a nasty surprise somewhere within. Not only must objects be transformed but a synchronization between these two collections is required. (Just to complicate things I can think of cases where the VM collection might be a subset or union of business object collections, not simply a 1:1 synchronization). I can see how to do a one-way "live" sync, using a replicating ObservableCollection or something like CLINQ. The problem then becomes: What is the best way to create/delete items? Bi-directinal sync does not seem to be on the cards - I have found no such examples, and the only class that supports anything remotely like that is the ListCollectionView. Would bi-directional sync even be a sensible way to add back into the business object collection? All the samples I have seen never seem to tackle anything this "complex". So my question is: How do you solve this? Is there some technique to update the model collections from the VM? What is the best general approach to this?

  • Problem with binding from style

    - by Maurizio Reginelli
    I have this block of xaml and I made a ViewModel which contains a property called MyBrush. I would like to set the grid background to that property but this block doesn't work. Could you tell me how can I do that? <Style x:Key="myKey" TargetType="myType"> <Setter Property="Template"> <Setter.Value> <ControlTemplate TargetType="myType"> <Grid Background="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=MyBrush}"> ...

  • Using TextOptions.TextFormattingMode with FormattedText

    - by dan gibson
    With WPF4 you can have non-blurry text by adding TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Display" and TextOptions.TextRenderingMode="Aliased" to your xaml: <Window TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Display" TextOptions.TextRenderingMode="Aliased"> This works fine for me except for when I draw text with DrawingContext.DrawText like this: void DrawText(DrawingContext dc) { FormattedText ft = new FormattedText("Hello World", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, System.Windows.FlowDirection.LeftToRight, new Typeface(FontFamily, FontStyle, FontWeight, FontStretch), FontSize, brush); dc.DrawText(ft, new Point(rect.Left, rect.Top)); } How can I draw non-blurry text with FormattedText? ie I want TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Display" and TextOptions.TextRenderingMode="Aliased" to be used.

  • Shift+Tab not working in TreeView control

    - by Christian
    I cannot get backwards navigation using Shift+Tab to work in a TreeView that contains TextBoxs, forward navigation using Tab works fine and jump from TextBox to TextBox inside the TreeView. Anytime Shift+Tab is used when one of the TextBoxes inside the TreeView, then the focus is move to the previous control outside the TreeView, instead of the previous control inside the TreeView. Also its only Shift+Tab navigation that are not working correctly, Ctrl+Shift+Tab work as expected and in the correct order. Any suggestions to what I'm doing wrong? Example code: <Window x:Class="TestTabTreeView.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.Resources> <Style TargetType="TreeViewItem"> <Setter Property="KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation" Value="Continue" /> </Style> </Window.Resources> <Grid> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> <RowDefinition Height="*" /> <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <TextBox Text="First Line" Grid.Row="0" /> <TreeView Grid.Row="1" KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="Continue" IsTabStop="False"> <TreeViewItem IsExpanded="True"><TreeViewItem.Header><TextBox Text="Popular Words"/></TreeViewItem.Header> <TreeViewItem><TreeViewItem.Header><TextBox Text="Foo"/></TreeViewItem.Header></TreeViewItem> <TreeViewItem><TreeViewItem.Header><TextBox Text="Bar"/></TreeViewItem.Header></TreeViewItem> <TreeViewItem><TreeViewItem.Header><TextBox Text="Hello"/></TreeViewItem.Header></TreeViewItem> </TreeViewItem> <TreeViewItem IsExpanded="True"><TreeViewItem.Header><TextBox Text="Unpopular Words"/></TreeViewItem.Header> <TreeViewItem><TreeViewItem.Header><TextBox Text="Work"/></TreeViewItem.Header></TreeViewItem> <TreeViewItem><TreeViewItem.Header><TextBox Text="Duplication"/></TreeViewItem.Header></TreeViewItem> </TreeViewItem> </TreeView> <TextBox Text="Last Line" Grid.Row="2" /> </Grid>

  • Get rid of XAML Window from Taskbar

    - by griegs
    If I have a XAML window that I show with ShowDialog, is there a way to make it (not) appear in the taskbar? The problem is that I can set the window to be topmost but if that window opens another dialog and I set that also to be topmost, I can put the second behind the first by clicking in the taskbar. This tends to confuse users.

  • User defined top level control in XAML

    - by luke
    A normal UserControl looks like this in XAML: <UserControl x:Class="mynamespace.foo" ...namespaces...> <!-- content --> </UserControl> I'd like to be able to define my own top level object, along the lines of: <MyControl x:Class="mynamespace.mycontrol" ...namespaces...> <!-- content --> </UserControl> Where MyControl derives from a UserControl itself. Of course the compiler complains about "MyControl" not being found. Is there a way around this?

  • CollectionViewSource & Selective Column Display

    - by Berryl
    By selective column display i mean the following: a control shows a listing of widgets (WidgetVm.DisplayName), with the default display name being in English (WidgetVm.EnglishName), but with the option to show the widget in French (WidgetVm.FrenchName). There also sorting and filtering available, which is why CollectionViewSource seems ideal. I know you can have multiple views over the same source but I haven't figured out how to do this yet. Is that the right approach to solving this? How? Cheers, Berryl

  • Why does this IF statement fail?

    - by ChosenOne
    If variable path is empty, and editor.Text is not empty, the SaveFileDialog should be displayed. Now, why on earth is this damn thing failing??? I have tried this with many different variations of code with the same result: FAIL: if(path.Length >= 1) // path contains a path. Save changes instead of creating NEW file. { File.WriteAllText(path, content); } else { // no path defined. Create new file and write to it. using(SaveFileDialog saver = new SaveFileDialog()) { if(saver.ShowDialog() == DialogButtons.OK) { File.WriteAllText(saver.Filename, content); } } } At the top of code file I have: path = String.Empty; So why the heck it this failing every single time, even after trying all of the below variations? if(path.Length > 1) // path contains a path. Save changes instead of creating NEW file. { File.WriteAllText(path, content); } else { // no path defined. Create new file and write to it. using(SaveFileDialog saver = new SaveFileDialog()) { if(saver.ShowDialog() == DialogButtons.OK) { File.WriteAllText(saver.Filename, content); } } } and if(String.IsNullOrEmpty(path)) // path contains a path. Save changes instead of creating NEW file. { File.WriteAllText(path, content); } else { // no path defined. Create new file and write to it. using(SaveFileDialog saver = new SaveFileDialog()) { if(saver.ShowDialog() == DialogButtons.OK) { File.WriteAllText(saver.Filename, content); } } } and if(String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(path)) // path contains a path. Save changes instead of creating NEW file. { File.WriteAllText(path, content); } else { // no path defined. Create new file and write to it. using(SaveFileDialog saver = new SaveFileDialog()) { if(saver.ShowDialog() == DialogButtons.OK) { File.WriteAllText(saver.Filename, content); } } } This is making me very angry. How could this fail? Setting a break point reveals that path is definitely null/"".

  • Checked status not updated in CheckBox template

    - by Simon
    Hey there. I'm trying to create an hyperlink that changes its text depending on a boolean value. I thought I could leverage the IsChecked method of a CheckBox. So I wrote this ControlTemplate for a CheckBox: <CheckBox Checked="CheckBox_Checked" IsChecked="{Binding Path=SomeBool, Mode=TwoWay}"> <CheckBox.Template> <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}"> <BulletDecorator> <BulletDecorator.Bullet> <TextBlock> <Hyperlink> <TextBlock x:Name="TextBoxHyperlink">Unchecked</TextBlock> </Hyperlink> </TextBlock> </BulletDecorator.Bullet> <ContentPresenter /> </BulletDecorator> <ControlTemplate.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True"> <Setter TargetName="TextBoxHyperlink" Property="Text" Value="Checked" /> </Trigger> </ControlTemplate.Triggers> </ControlTemplate> </CheckBox.Template> </CheckBox> But when I click on the hyperlink, nothing happens. The checked status is not changed and the Text property of the TextBlock is not updated. Any ideas?

  • Is there a way to do simple calculations in a xaml element binding statement other than using a conv

    - by Jonathan Websdale
    In XAML I want to bind the height of one element to be half the height of another element. Is there a way to do this that doesn't involve writing a converter in the code-behind? Example:- What I've got... <Button Name="RemoveButton" Content="Remove Stage" Width="100" Height="{Binding ElementName=AddButton, Path=Height, Converter={StaticResource MyHalfHeightConverter}}"/> What I'd like... <Button Name="RemoveButton" Content="Remove Stage" Width="100" Height="{Binding ElementName=AddButton, Path=(Height / 2.0)}"/>

  • Trying to get a better understanding of SelectedValuePath and IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem

    - by rasx
    The following XAML produces a run-time Binding error when I click on an item in the ListBox: <Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow" x:Name="Window" Title="MainWindow" Width="640" Height="480"> <Window.Resources> <x:Array x:Key="strings" Type="{x:Type sys:String}"> <sys:String>one</sys:String> <sys:String>two</sys:String> <sys:String>three</sys:String> <sys:String>four</sys:String> </x:Array> </Window.Resources> <Grid> <ListBox DataContext="{StaticResource strings}" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" ItemsSource="{Binding}" SelectedValuePath="{Binding /Length}"> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Grid> <Grid.Resources> <Style TargetType="{x:Type Label}"> <Setter Property="Background" Value="Yellow"/> <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,4,0"/> <Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/> </Style> </Grid.Resources> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition/> <RowDefinition/> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <!-- Row 0 --> <Label Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0">String:</Label> <TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Text="{Binding}"/> <!-- Row 1 --> <Label Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1">Length:</Label> <TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Text="{Binding Length, Mode=Default}"/> </Grid> </DataTemplate> </ListBox.ItemTemplate> </ListBox> </Grid> </Window> This is the run-time Binding error message: System.Windows.Data Error: 39 : BindingExpression path error: '3' property not found on 'object' ''String' (HashCode=1191344027)'. BindingExpression:Path=3; DataItem='String' (HashCode=1191344027); target element is 'ListBox' (Name=''); target property is 'NoTarget' (type 'Object') I would like the selected value of the ListBox to be the Length of the selected String object. What is wrong with my SelectedValuePath Binding syntax? Are there any related issues with IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem?

  • UI not redrawing after display powered off on Win 7

    - by oltman
    Some portions of my application's interface are not getting refreshed after Windows 7 powers down the display. More specifically, I'm swapping out images, User Controls, and a button's content while the display is powered off and after it has been restarted, and this isn't being reflected in the UI until I minimize and restore the window or move it to one of the screen's edges. I've tried calling the Window's InvalidateVisual() method when the app was in a state where it needed to redraw, and that didn't solve the problem. I have only been able to reproduce this issue on Windows 7. Any ideas?

  • Escape from DataContext

    - by grayscales
    I have a window that get its data from another class that is passed as DataContext. But I now also want to do data binding within the window. The window looks as follows: <Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"> <StackPanel> <TextBlock Text="{Binding UserName}" /> <TextBlock x:Name="TestTextBlock">Hello World</TextBlock> <TextBlock x:Name="TestTextBlock2" Text="{Binding ElementName=TestTextBlock,Path=Text}" /> </StackPanel> </Window> The binding between the text blocks TestTextBlock and TestTextBlock2 works fine, but only until I change the DataContext-property of the window. How can I bind between those two textblocks so that changing the DataContext will not break the data binding? Thanks in advance, Stefan

  • How to restart a wcf server from within a client?

    - by djerry
    Hey guys, I'm using Wcf for server - client communication. The server will need to run as a service, so there's no GUI. The admin can change settings using the client program and for those changes to be made on server, it needs to restart. This is my server setup NetTcpBinding binding = new NetTcpBinding(SecurityMode.Message); Uri address = new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:8000"); //_svc = new ServiceHost(typeof(MonitoringSystemService), address); _monSysService = new MonitoringSystemService(); _svc = new ServiceHost(_monSysService, address); publishMetaData(_svc, "http://localhost:8001"); _svc.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IMonitoringSystemService), binding, "Monitoring Server"); _svc.Open(); MonitoringSystemService is a class i'm using to handle client - server comm. It looks like this: [CallbackBehavior(ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Reentrant)] [ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single, MaxItemsInObjectGraph = 2147483647)] public class MonitoringSystemService : IMonitoringSystemService {} So i need to call a restart method on the client to the server, but i don't know how to restart (even stop - start) the server. I hope i'm not missing any vital information. Thanks in advance.

  • How do I stop ValueConverters from firing when swapping the content of a ContentControl

    - by DanM
    I thought what I was doing was right out of the Josh Smith MVVM handbook, but I seem to be having a lot of problems with value converters firing when no data in the view-model has changed. So, I have a ContentControl defined in XAML like this: <ContentControl Grid.Row="0" Content="{Binding CurrentViewModel}" /> The Window containing this ContentControl references a resource dictionary that looks something like this: <ResourceDictionary ...> <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type lib_vm:SetupPanelViewModel}"> <lib_v:SetupPanel /> </DataTemplate> <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type lib_vm:InstructionsPanelViewModel}"> <lib_v:InstructionsPanel /> </DataTemplate> </ResourceDictionary> So, basically, the two data templates specify which view to show with which view-model. This switches the views as expected whenever the CurrentViewModel property on my window's view-model changes, but it also seems to cause value converters on the views to fire even when no data has changed. It's a particular problem with IMultiValueConverter classes, because the values in the value array get set to DependencyProperty.UnsetValue, which causes exceptions unless I specifically check for that. But I'm getting other weird side effects too. This has me wondering if I shouldn't just do everything manually, like this: Instantiate each view. Set the DataContext of each view to the appropriate view-model. Give the ContentControl a name and make it public. Handle the PropertyChanged event for the window. In the event handler, manually set the Content property of the ContentControl to the appropriate view, based the CurrentViewModel (using if statements). This seems to work, but it also seems very inelegant. I'm hoping there's a better way. Could you please advise me the best way to handle view switching so that value converters don't fire unnecessarily?

  • Access objects in button event handler

    How to access list of observable collection objects that I create in my constructor to bind to the UI, in the Save button event handler.

I tried doing ProgramViewModel newtest = DataContext as ProgramViewModel; But newtest is always null. Though I can see the data in when I hover my mouse over DataContext while debugging..
