New Post: Populate WrapDataGrid using WCF callback

mgrayson — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:49:26 GMT

Hi Spandy,

Could you try explicitly setting the data context on the UI thread. e.g...

        private void proxy_GetCustomerCompleted1(object sender, GetCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
            this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke( SetDataContext, e.Result);
        }

        private void SetDataContext(object dataContext)
        {
            this.WrapDataGrid.DataContext = dataContext;
        }

Thanks,

Martin

New Post: Release of Schedule/Recent Activities/Deep Zoom

mgrayson — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:09:04 GMT

Hi mryang,

You can find some simlar controls for expanding and collapsing, and manging panels in layout in another codeplex project called Blacklight.

The AnimatedExpander control will help you build a list simiar to the recent activities list in the patient journey demonstrator. You can place it in the item template of an items control and bind you items to the ItemsSource.

The DragDockPanelHost and DragDockPanel will provide a similar implementation of the layout panels in the demonstrator.

Thanks,

Martin

Hi there,

Can you confirm that you are calling Reload() after setting the DataContext?

New Post: Te class in ExtendingGraphBehavior

MarkSun — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:04:07 GMT

I see the http://www.mscui.net/Blog/2009/04/default.aspx

In "Create a new class using Visual Studio called DateFormatConverter:", I would like to know what is IValueConverter?

Because there are some problem with it.

When I debug, it show that: Can not find the type or namespace name IValueConverter' (Are you missing using directive or component reference?)

So, how can I solve the problem?

With a few easy steps you can compile the Microsoft Health Common User Interface under VS2010.

The details are on the following blog:

Thank you very much for reporting this mistake - the description for the second example on page 32 should indeed read "In this CORRECT example..."

Best regards,

ruslancanada — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:31:10 GMT

The following description is incorrect for a valid timeline sample (second on the page), or the sample is marked valid in error:

In this incorrect example, the label of the first entry on the first row extends beyond the starting point of the next two entries, and so the overlapped labels are not displayed. The label of the first entry on the second row extends beyond the starting point of the next entry, which is similarly not displayed. The vertical lines of the hidden labels extend to the lower edge of the labels above, and additional visual indication is provided in the form of a ‘shadow’ label decoration. (TLN-0520)

Hello

I'm sorry this does not address your question but if you have questions about the framework, you should post them in the appropriate Silverlight or WPF forum at:

New Post: GetTemplateChild

norgie — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:06:25 GMT

I'm fairly new to WPF so please bear with me if the following is a dumb question.

I take it that GetTemplateChild is used quite extensively in the Patient Demonstrator to access e.g. "embedded" resources like storyboards found inside ContentTemplates, etc. However, this doesn't seem to work in WPF and the documentation for the WPF version of GetTemplateChild states: Do not use. Use FindName instead. The documentation also states: FindName supplies the same function as this method. FindName is public instead of protected, and it uses correct name-scoping considerations that allow it to access the template within an element and find named items within it.

The signature for FindName is (C#)

public Object FindName(string name, FrameworkElement templatedParent)

(FindName is a public method in class FrameworkTemplate).

Now imagine that we have designed some kind of special button class with no visible representation and in the XAML for e.g. a control containing our special button we provide a ContentTemplate for our button. The ContentTemplate contains a grid which again contains a resource section which again contains a StoryBoard. Now, in the code behind for the button we're interested in programatically manipulating one of the elements of the storyboard (i.e. the button expects certain named elements to be present in the storyboard). In Silverlight one would use GetTemplateChild, but in WPF this method returns 'null' even when we provide the correct element name. So, we turn to FindName like this

if (this.Template != null)
{
    var sb = (StoryBoard) Template.FindName("Checked", this);
}

After the call to FindName, sb is (still) null. Now, if I name the grid "myGrid" and call FindName like this

var g = (Grid) Template.FindName("myGrid", this);

then the element is found and g contains a reference to "myGrid".

Can anyone be kind and explain why the grid is found by FindName while an element within the storyboard isn't? (and yes, I have tried FindResource to no avail). Has it got something to do with the storyboard being a part of the grids resources?

Why is the functionality with respect to GetTemplateChild different in Silverlight? Doesn't this make porting applications from Silverlight to WPF (and vice-versa) cumbersome, to say the least?

Best regards,

norgie

New Post: Error while Registering the CUI Controls Toolkit in the Visual Studio Toolbox

bgriffiths — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:25:32 GMT

Hello

I suspect the main problem is you are trying to use Silverlight 3 assemblies with Visual Studio 2005.

Visual Studio 2005 only supports Silverlight 1. The error you are getting occurs when you try to add Silverlight controls on the COM Components tab of the Toolbox.

As stated in the release notes linked from http://www.silverlight.net/getstarted/, the Silverlight 3 Tools are designed for Visual Studio 2008 SP1.

Our GettingStarted document says you can still use some parts of the CUI Control Toolkit with VS2005. If you want to develop ASP or Windows Forms applications, please load the controls from Nhs.Cui.Toolkit.Web or Nhs.Cui.Toolkit.WinForms as appropriate.

If you are interested in exploring the potential of Silverlight and WPF, you have a few options:

1) Download one of the Visual Studio Express Editions http://www.microsoft.com/express/

2) Download a free 3 month trial of Visual Studio 2008 Professional http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/try/default.mspx#visual-studio-2008-professional-edition

3) Download the brand new Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/try/default.mspx

After installing any of the above, you'll need to return to the Silverlight Getting Started page linked above and install the Silverlight 3 Tools for Visual Studio.

Ben

New Post: Heart 3D

mgrayson — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:37:02 GMT

Hi Norwill,

Thanks for your feedback on the Patient Journey Demonstrator.

The Silverlight 3 or less runtime does not support the rendering and manipulation of 3D models, however there are many examples of custom 3D engines built for Silverlight. Silverlight 3 also provides some projection properties for tranforming 2D elements in 3D.

The Patient Journey Demonstrator achieved the 3D effect by using a set of images of a heart model, taken at different orientations.

If you are looking to build something more complex in 3D, I would recommend using WPF, as this has a full 3D rendering system built into the runtime, which is very easy to get to grips with.

Thanks,

Martin
