This whimsical binding. TwoWay Binding to DataContext. Binding in WPF (rredcat.blogspot.com)

submitted by RredCat(260) 7 months, 24 days ago

I often use Binding to DataContext. It is one of the main advantage of WPF. In most case I set custom class inherit of DependencyObject (for support DependencyProperty) and I have some like next code: <StackPanel> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Id}" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Surname}"/> ... </StackPanel> But sometime I set a simple type for example string. For this case I can implement next Binding: <TextBlock Text="{Binding}" /> read more...

Implementing support of own child/children in WPF control. (rredcat.blogspot.com)

submitted by RredCat(260) 8 months, 21 days ago

The best way for use child/children in WPF is customize any control with property for child/children that inherit from Control (for example ContentControl or ItemsControl). Control has wide possibility of customizing through ControlTemplate. But sometime we want to have specific behaviour of child/children (for example if we want to implement MDI container any other specific container). What should you do for implementing this behaviour? I will show major steps in sample of simple custom panel that is inherited from FrameworkElement. read more...

Do you know how can you obtain access to nested types through XAML? (rredcat.blogspot.com)

submitted by RredCat(260) 9 months, 26 days ago

XAML is a declarative XML-based language created by Microsoft which is used to initialize structured values and objects. I have already written how we can obtain access to properties of instance that located in other properties here (I have described binding's potential). But what can we do if we need to access to nested type? read more...

RIA in Sharepoint: Silverlight with 3D Extended DeepZoom - so cool (blog.domaindotnet.com)

submitted by dcarr(785) 1 year, 2 months ago

NOTE: There is an interesting contest to find an image in this. Check the post. Long story short, this is an effort to bring RIA to the SharePoint world. But not just RIA style usability, I believe we pushed the envelope even further by incorporating not only DeepZoom (SeaDragon) for ‘zoom in to the pixel’ resolution, but the 3D extensions not present by default (you have the essentials but only the amazingly talented people behind the Hard Rock Memorabilia site (vertigo) have shown this style of combined zoom/3d that we have seen in any largely deployed sample) read more...

My version of Snoop (+ 2 features) (rredcat.blogspot.com)

submitted by RredCat(260) 1 year, 6 months ago

I think that every WPF developer knows that is Snoop. This is helpful tool (with source code (!!) ) for visual debugging of WPF's app at runtime. It is good but I was in need of some expansions. 1. I needed to see Template of controls in visual tree. 2. I needed to keep a/some couple (value and property) of control in visual tree. I implemented this issues for self purpose and want to impart this to all. read more...
