  • Should I use DTOs as my data models in MVVM?

    - by JonC
    I'm currently working on what will be my first real foray into using MVVM and have been reading various articles on how best to implement it. My current thoughts are to use my data models effectively as data transfer objects, make them serializable and have them exist on both the client and server sides. It seems like a logical step given that both object types are really just collections of property getters and setters and another layer in between seems like complete overkill. Obviously there would be issues with INotifyPropertyChanged not working correctly on the server side as there is no ViewModel to which to communicate, but as long as we are careful about constructing our proper domain model objects from data models in the service layer and not dealing the the data models on the server side I don't think it should be a big issue. I haven't found too much info about this approach in my reading, so I would like to know if this is a pretty standard thing, is this just assumed to be the de facto way of doing MVVM in a multi-tier environment? If I've got completely the wrong idea about things then thoughts on other approaches would be appreciated too.

  • Tools\addin's for formating or cleaning up xaml?

    - by cody
    I'm guessing these don't exist since I searched around for these but I'm looking for a few tools: 1) A tool that cleans up my xaml so that the properties of elements are consistent through a file. I think enforcing that consistence would make the xaml easier to read. Maybe there could be a hierarchy of what comes first but if not alphabetical might work. Example before: TextBox Name="myTextBox1" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Margin="4" TextBox Grid.Column="1" Margin="4" Name="t2" Grid.Row="3" Example after: TextBox Name="myTextBox1" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Margin="4" TextBox Name="t2" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Margin="4" (note < / has been remove from the above since control seem to have issues parsing whe the after section was added) 2) Along the same lines as above, to increase readability, a tool to align properties, so from the above code example similar props would start in the same place. <TextBox Name="myTextBox1" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Margin="4"/> <TextBox Name="t2" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Margin="4"/> I know VS has default settings for XAML documents so props can be on one line or separate lines so maybe if there was a tool as described in (1) this would not be needed...but it would still be nice if you like your props all on one line. 3) A tool that adds X to the any of the Grid.Row values and Y to any of the Grid.Column values in the selected text. Every time I add a new row\column I have to go manually fix these. From my understanding Expression Blend can help with this but seem excessive to open Blend just to increment some numbers (and just don't grok Blend). Maybe vs2010 with the designer will help but right now I'm on VS08 and Silverlight. Any one know of any tools to help with this? Anyone planning to write something like this...I'm looking at you JetBrains and\or DevExpress. Thanks.

  • Swapping data binding in code

    - by Phil J Pearson
    I have two data-bound text boxes. One is bound to a string and the other to a number. The 'default' binding is set in XAML. Under some circumstances I need to reverse the bindings at runtime (the string is usually a prefix but sometimes it's a suffix). I have the following code in my view model, called when the window is loaded: Binding stringBinding = BindingOperations.GetBinding(view.seqLeft, TextBox.TextProperty); Binding numberBinding = BindingOperations.GetBinding(view.seqRight, TextBox.TextProperty); view.seqLeft.SetBinding(TextBlock.TextProperty, numberBinding); view.seqRight.SetBinding(TextBlock.TextProperty, stringBinding); After that the code loads the properties to which the binding refers. The problem is that the 'new' binding doesn't seem to work. What have I missed? Is there a better way?

    I have a UserControl UserControl1 and a button inside the UserControl1. And I have a UserControl1ViewModel that has an ICommand property for the button. Using this command I need to call a method outside(from other VMs or VM of the MainWindow) the VM. What is the best practice for this?

  • Making a rectangular selection in a RichTextBox with Alt-Left-Mouse sweep?

    - by Harold Bamford
    There are quite a few applications that allow you to select a box or rectangle of text by sweeping with mouse while the Alt key is pressed. Visual Studio 2010 does this in the code editor, for instance. Emacs does it. Winword does it. We've all seen it. It seems like there must be a standard pattern to follow to encode this behavior but I cannot seem to find it. I suspect I am not Googling with the correct keywords as all I am getting are false hits on rectangle, Alt-Left, sweep, selection, etc. I'm sure I can code it up but it would mean disabling the normal selection code used in, say, RichTextBox. And that sounds ugly, error prone and probably more work than it is worth. Anybody have a suggestion (be nice! :-) ) of how to do this or an example of how it is done?

  • How can I run code in a C# class definition each time any instance of the class is deserialized?

    - by Ben
    I am trying to derive a class from ObservableCollection and I need to run just a single line of code each and every time any instance of this class is deserialized. My thought was to do this: [Serializable] public class ObservableCollection2<T> : ObservableCollection<T>, ISerializable { public ObservableCollection2() : base() { } public ObservableCollection2(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context) : base(info, context) { // Put additional code here. } void ISerializable.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context) { base.GetObjectData(info, context); } } But I don't have access to those base methods related to serialization. Am I forced to re-write all of the serialization manually?

  • Path vs GeometryDrawing

    - by Carlo
    Just wondering what's lighter, I'm going to have a control that draws 280 * 4 my SegmentControl, which is a quarter of a circle, and I'm just wondering what's the way that takes least memory to draw said segment. GeometryDrawing: <Image> <Image.Source> <DrawingImage> <DrawingImage.Drawing> <GeometryDrawing Brush="LightBlue" Geometry="M24.612317,0.14044853 C24.612317,0.14044853 33.499971,-0.60608719 41,7.0179795 48.37642,14.516393 47.877537,23.404541 47.877537,23.404541 L24.60978,23.401991 z" /> </DrawingImage.Drawing> </DrawingImage> </Image.Source> </Image> Or Path: <Path Fill="LightBlue" Stretch="Fill" Stroke="#FF0DA17D" Data="M24.612317,0.14044853 C24.612317,0.14044853 33.499971,-0.60608719 41,7.0179795 48.37642,14.516393 47.877537,23.404541 47.877537,23.404541 L24.60978,23.401991 z" /> Or if you know of an even better way, it'll be much appreciated.

  • Returning objects from another thread?

    - by Mark
    Trying to follow the hints laid out here, but she doesn't mention how to handle it when your collection needs to return a value, like so: private delegate TValue DequeueHandler(); public virtual TValue Dequeue() { if (dispatcher.CheckAccess()) { --count; var pair = dict.First(); var queue = pair.Value; var val = queue.Dequeue(); if (queue.Count == 0) dict.Remove(pair.Key); OnCollectionChanged(new NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs(NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Remove, val)); return val; } else { dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new DequeueHandler(Dequeue)); } } This obviously won't work, because dispatcher.BeginInvoke doesn't return anything. What am I supposed to do? Or maybe I could replace dequeue with two functions, Peek and Pop, where Peek doesn't really need to be on the UI thread because it doesn't modify anything, right? As a side question, these methods don't need to be "locked" either, do they? If they're all forced to run in the UI thread, then there shouldn't be any concurrency issues, right?

  • Button Template does not render Image clearly.

    - by Akash Kava
    Here is my button template, <Microsoft_Windows_Themes:ButtonChrome x:Name="Chrome" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" RenderDefaulted="{TemplateBinding IsDefaulted}" RenderMouseOver="{TemplateBinding IsMouseOver}" RenderPressed="{TemplateBinding IsPressed}"> <Grid> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/> <ColumnDefinition/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Image Source="{TemplateBinding ImageSource}" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="NearestNeighbor" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Stretch="None" /> <ContentPresenter Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" RecognizesAccessKey="True"/> </Grid> </Microsoft_Windows_Themes:ButtonChrome> Now you can see as per this question My Images are blurry on StackOverflow I tried .. RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="NearestNeighbor" On all levels, grid, chrome .. and tried various combinations of SnapsToDevicePixels but images just wont show up correctly. I set Stretch=None, image is aligned at center, still why it stretches automatically? here is the output and its very frustrating. Actual size of the image is 16x16 but I some how figured out by using Windows Maginifier that no matter what I do, the image is actually trying to render as 20x20, for the bigger images its even cropping the right most and bottom part. I think image should be rendered correctly 16x16 when Stretch=None, can anyone clarify whats problem here?

  • Effective Method to Manage and Search Through 100,000+ Objects Instantly? (C#)

    - by Kirk
    I'm writing a media player for enthusiasts with large collections (over 100,000 tracks) and one of my main goals is speed in search. I would like to allow the user to perform a Google-esque search of their entire music collection based on these factors: Song Path and File Name Items in ID3 Tag (Title, Artist, Album, etc.) Lyrics What is the best way for me to store this data and search through it? Currently I am storing each track in an object and iterating over an array of these objects checking each of their variables for string matches based on given search text. I've run into problems though where my search is not effective because it is always a phrase search and I'm not sure how to make it more fuzzy. Would an internal DB like SQLlite be faster than this? Any ideas on how I should structure this system? I also need playlist persistence, so that when they close the app and open the app their same playlist loads immediately. How should I store the playlist information so it can load quickly when the application starts? Currently I am JSON encoding the entire playlist, storing it in a text file, and reading it into the ListView at runtime, but it is getting sluggish over 20,000 tracks. Thanks!

  • Keeping an application on top and in focus - always

    - by James Newton-King
    I am creating a kiosk application and I want to ensure it is always, no matter what, on top of other Windows applications and the Windows task bar. I am already blocking Windows keyboard commands (alt-tab, etc) but there are still situations that could cause an application to launch and steal the screen. Is it possible to hook into Windows from .NET and continually test whether the application has focus and is on top, and if not then give it focus and make it on top?

  • Problem adding Viewport2DVisual3D from Code

    - by Jeff
    I'm trying to add a Viewport2DVisual3D to a Viewport3D in code, but the visual isn't showing up. Any help understanding why not would be appreciated. The following is the code for the main window. Is it sufficient to just add the Viewport2DVisual3D to the children of the Viewport3D in order for it to be rendered? public partial class Window1 : System.Windows.Window { public Window1() { InitializeComponent(); this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(temp); } public void temp(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { Viewport2DVisual3D test = new Viewport2DVisual3D(); MeshGeometry3D testGeometry = new MeshGeometry3D(); Vector3D CameraLookDirection = Main_Target_CameraOR20.LookDirection; // Calculate the Positions based on the Camera Point3DCollection myPoint3DCollection = new Point3DCollection(); myPoint3DCollection.Add(new Point3D(-1, 1, 0)); myPoint3DCollection.Add(new Point3D(-1, -1, 0)); myPoint3DCollection.Add(new Point3D(1, -1, 0)); myPoint3DCollection.Add(new Point3D(1, 1, 0)); testGeometry.Positions = myPoint3DCollection; PointCollection myPointCollection = new PointCollection(); myPointCollection.Add(new Point(0, 0)); myPointCollection.Add(new Point(0, 1)); myPointCollection.Add(new Point(1, 1)); myPointCollection.Add(new Point(1, 0)); testGeometry.TextureCoordinates = myPointCollection; Int32Collection triangleIndicesCollection = new Int32Collection(); triangleIndicesCollection.Add(0); triangleIndicesCollection.Add(1); triangleIndicesCollection.Add(2); triangleIndicesCollection.Add(2); triangleIndicesCollection.Add(3); triangleIndicesCollection.Add(0); testGeometry.TriangleIndices = triangleIndicesCollection; DiffuseMaterial myDiffuseMaterial = new DiffuseMaterial(Brushes.White); Viewport2DVisual3D.SetIsVisualHostMaterial(myDiffuseMaterial, true); Transform3DGroup myTransform3DGroup = new Transform3DGroup(); ScaleTransform3D myScaleTransform3D = new ScaleTransform3D(); myScaleTransform3D.ScaleX = 2; myScaleTransform3D.ScaleY = 2; myScaleTransform3D.ScaleZ = 2; TranslateTransform3D myTranslateTransform3D = new TranslateTransform3D(); myTranslateTransform3D.OffsetX = -27; myTranslateTransform3D.OffsetY = 13; myTranslateTransform3D.OffsetZ = 6; RotateTransform3D rotateTransform = new RotateTransform3D() { Rotation = new AxisAngleRotation3D { Angle = -50, Axis = new Vector3D(0, 1, 0) } }; myTransform3DGroup.Children.Add(myTranslateTransform3D); myTransform3DGroup.Children.Add(myScaleTransform3D); myTransform3DGroup.Children.Add(rotateTransform); test.Transform = myTransform3DGroup; Button myButton = new Button(); myButton.Content = "Test Button"; test.Material = myDiffuseMaterial; test.Geometry = testGeometry; test.Visual = myButton; ZAM3DViewport3D.Children.Add(test); } }

  • Adding events to ScatterViewItems when implicitly creating them

    - by James Hay
    Not sure there's too many surface developers on here but hey ho... If i have a scatterview which implicity creates the ScatterViewItem objects (see below), is it possible to retireve the contact events for each scatterViewItem? Also when i wrap tyhe image object in a ScatterViewItem explicitly the item no longer works. Could anyone advise as to why this is the case? <s:ScatterView ItemsSource="{StaticResource DummyData}" > <s:ScatterView.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Image Source="{Binding Path=ImagePath}" /> </DataTemplate> </s:ScatterView.ItemTemplate> </s:ScatterView>

  • Pattern for null settings

    - by user21243
    Hi, I would like to hear your thoughts and ideas about this one. in my application i have controls that are binded to objects properties. but.. the controls always looks like that: a check box, label that explain the settings and then the edited control (for ex: text box) when unchecking the checkbox i disable the text box (using binding) when the checkbox is unchecked i want the property to contain null, and when it is checked i would like the property to contain the text box's text. Of course text box can be NumericUpDown, ComboBox, DatePicker etc.. Do you have any smart way of doing it using binding or do i have to do everything on code; I really would like to a build a control that supports that and re-use it all over Ideas? Thanks,

  • How to add multiple handlers to an attached event in XAML ?

    - by Gishu
    I want to add 2 handlers to a particular event like shown above. However this won't compile - 'attribute can be set more than once'. I have multiple methods because they do different things (are named appropriately). e.g. the first handler has nothing in common with the second. My other option was to kludge a SetFlagForCursorTrackingAndCheckForViewLink method - which is "Yech!". Any ideas ?

  • Is there a declarative way to force a set of Buttons to be the same size?

    - by Jekke
    I'm writing a form in XAML that has multiple buttons with content of different sizes (ie "OK" and "Save As...") Ideally, I'd like them all to be the smallest size possible to hold the largest content. In the example above, both buttons would be the width necessary to hold "Save As..." plus the margins and padding. If they were Grid cells, I could use a SizeGroup. Is there a similar declaration for Buttons?

  • Refreshing Read-Only (Chained) Property in MVVM

    - by Wonko the Sane
    I'm thinking this should be easy, but I can't seem to figure this out. Take these properties from an example ViewModel (ObservableViewModel implements INotifyPropertyChanged): class NameViewModel : ObservableViewModel { Boolean mShowFullName = false; string mFirstName = "Wonko"; string mLastName = "DeSane"; private readonly DelegateCommand mToggleName; public NameViewModel() { mToggleName = new DelegateCommand(() => ShowFullName = !mShowFullName); } public ICommand ToggleNameCommand { get { return mToggleName; } } public Boolean ShowFullName { get { return mShowFullName; } set { SetPropertyValue("ShowFullName", ref mShowFullName, value); } } public string Name { get { return (mShowFullName ? this.FullName : this.Initials); } } public string FullName { get { return mFirstName + " " + mLastName; } } public string Initials { get { return mFirstName.Substring(0, 1) + "." + mLastName.Substring(0, 1) + "."; } } } The guts of such a [insert your adjective here] View using this ViewModel might look like: <TextBlock x:Name="txtName" Grid.Row="0" Text="{Binding Name}" /> <Button x:Name="btnToggleName" Command="{Binding ToggleNameCommand}" Content="Toggle Name" Grid.Row="1" /> The problem I am seeing is when the ToggleNameCommand is fired. The ShowFullName property is properly updated by the command, but the Name binding is never updated in the View. What am I missing? How can I force the binding to update? Do I need to implement the Name properties as DependencyProperties (and therefore derive from DependencyObject)? Seems a little heavyweight to me, and I'm hoping for a simpler solution. Thanks, wTs

  • How can I prevent ListBox from selecting an item when I right-click it?

    - by chaiguy
    The tricky part is that each item has a ContextMenu that I still want to open when it is right-clicked (I just don't want it selecting it). In fact, if it makes things any easier, I don't want any automatic selection at all, so if there's some way I can disable it entirely that would be just fine. I'm thinking of just switching to an ItemsControl actually, so long as I can get virtualization and scrolling to work with it.
