If I define a namespace (xmlns) in app.xaml, does the whole application assembly see it, or do I have to redefine it in each xaml file from which I wish to use it?

No. An XML namespaces binding scope is limited to the tag where they were defined[^]. I don't know whether XAML is XML v1.0 or v1.1 but a namespace binding attribute value cannot be empty.
And the first binding up the tree from where you use it is the one applied.

<StackPanel>
    <Grid xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
        <Grid.Resources>
            <sys:Int32 x:Key="i">
                6
            </sys:Int32>
        </Grid.Resources>
    </Grid> <!-- mscorelib binding scope ends here -->

    <Grid xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=System">
        <Grid.Resources>
            <sys:Uri x:Key="uri">
                http://www.codeproject.com
            </sys:Uri>
        </Grid.Resources>

        <Grid xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
            <Grid.Resources>
                <sys:Byte x:Key="b"> <!-- The binding used is mscorlib's -->
                    8
                </sys:Byte>
            </Grid.Resources>
        </Grid>
    </Grid>
</StackPanel>

There seems to be a problem displaying the code. Solved, the encode HTML option was disabled D'Oh! | :doh:

That would make sense, right ? I'd also like to be able to define resources in one place and have them included through the project.

No. You don't define namespaces in XAML.

I am right in thinking you are refering to defining a namespace for e.g. a bunch of controls, and you wish to reference those controls in xaml using a (Xml) namespace rather than by code namespace and assembly, as in the example below (controls vs scm)

<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:scm="clr-namespace:System.ComponentModel;assembly=WindowsBase"
    xmlns:controls="http://schemas.xxx.com/wpf/xaml/controls">

To create your own (xml) namespace defintion, just done something like the following in you AssemblyInfo file

[assembly: XmlnsDefinition("http://schemas.xxx.com/wpf/xaml/controls", "xxx.Common.Controls")]
[assembly: XmlnsPrefix("http://schemas.xxx.com/wpf/xaml/controls", "controls")]

You can then use the xmlns definition in any xaml files that reference your controls project, but unfortunately, you can not use the xmlns defintition withn the project, eg. in a Resource dictionary within the project, which is understandable, but disappointing.

Web browser application having database

I have to write an web browser application in WPF having database. I want to know if there are good sample database applications. I am looking for something like the sample on Microsoft SQL. I need all the basic functionality expected on line of business applications like master/detail or at least a similar functionality. Someone could please help me!

A SQL database isn't implimented any differently in WPF, compared to a winforms app. I need to know tho, why does your 'web browser application' need a database ?

Hi,
In my Silverlight Apps, I m unable to drag and drop 'Silverlight XAML controls' on the page.xaml surface. I could add the same by typing XAML markups. Whats the problem? I m using Visual Studio 2008 with VS 2008 SP1.

The Visual Studio Silverlight XAML editor's GUI pane is currently only a preview window.
There's no editing features there.

VS 2010 will have it.

ElementHost and Transparency

Hi,
I'm trying to write a Winforms Application, in which one Windows has the sole purpose to host a WPF Control.
The window itself is transparent (using the TransparencyKey-Property) and so are parts of the hosted WPF control(Using Background-Color=Transparent).
The ElementHost has its BackColorTransparent property set to true.
Problem is: The transparent areas of the WPF control are painted in the background color of the winforms-host. The one that should be replaced by transparency (because of the TransparencyKey).
Seems like an airspace-problem to me, but I'm not sure about that.
How can i achieve true transparency (so i can see the underlying desktop through my WPF Control)?
Any help would be appreciated.
Michael.

I've never actually done it, but I don't see any reason you couldn't just have a WPF window and create and launch it from your Winforms Form. Then you don't have to worry about airspace and interop problems.

Simple, but did it - didn't thought of it, because Visual Studio won't let you add one in a Winforms-project.
Thanks.

Assign names to ModelVisual3D's in code-behind

I generate all my 3D models in the code-behind file. What I want to know is, is it possible to assign names to the ModelVisual3D's as I create them?
In the XAML I could just use x:Name, but as I said, the models are created in the code-behind.

There is no such thing as a Name property for either a ModelVisual3D or a Model3DGroup when using it in the code-behind. It's the first thing I tried

x:Name is a dependency property - hence, you can set it in code using SetValue(this3DObject, "ObjectName"); (and use GetValue("ObjectName") as ModelVisual3D; to retrieve it).

I tried your code, but I'm not quite sure how to implement it. I'm very new to WPF. Let me give you a sample of the code I'm using. I use an array of ModelVisual3D's called mv3dCube, each array index holding a cube.
So each time I add a new cube I set the Content property of the ModelVisual3D to an item in a Model3DGroup array as follows:

mv3DCube[index].Content = mdl3DGrpCube[index];

But before I set the Content property, I want to assign name to the ModelVisual3D.
Can you please show me exactly how I would implement this using my code.
I tried something like the following:

mv3DCube[index].SetValue(this.mv3DCube[index], "someName") but it still gives me an error
