I am asking mysely: Why didn't i tried this before
Now i have a diffrent problem. I do not think it is alrigt to contiune new post, but here it is:
This is a stripped down event Template for a ListViewItem template
<DataTemplate x:Key="ListBoxItemPodjetjeTemplate">
<Grid Margin="2">
<Border Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" BorderThickness="0" Background="#8098D8D8" CornerRadius="4,4,4,4"/>
</Grid>
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Control.IsMouseOver">
<Setter Property="Control.Background" Value="LightGreen"/>
</Trigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>
I put Highlight color to transparent, now i want to change background of an item based on mouse over. Now the trigger is throwing me an exception with an inner text: {"'{DependencyProperty.UnsetValue}' is not a valid value for property 'IsMouseOver'."}.
Thank you in advance

What value are you applying? You haven't actually set one in the Trigger. Try changing it to
<Trigger Property="Control.IsMouseOver" Value="True" />

Aw stupid me. Thank you for your reply

No problems - it's easy to miss something like this. As a hint, if you ever see a message about DependencyProperty.UnsetValue then it means the value the DP expects hasn't been set. This isn't the same as a null value because null might be a legitimate value for the DP.

I'm trying to learn WPF doing some simple stuff before tackling a real project. The first thing I've tried to do is to mock up an Excel sheet used to review case files. It uses 40 some columns to collect reviewers' input. At least 5 columns use the same Excel data validation to limit the responses to:
Yes,
No, or
Unknown
So..in porting this to SQL Server I've put check constraints in that require one of those 3 entries.
In mocking up the data entry form in WPF I would like to use a combobox that IS BOUND to one of those SQL columns and offers the 3 permissible choices. It seems to me that the ideal approach would be to create a template combobox with the 3 choices, and then use and re-use the template for each of the constrained columns.
Maybe my searching skills are poor, but I can't seem to find any explanations or examples of doing something like this, even though it seems as though this sort of thing would be used often.
Where do I start?

Normally, I'd approach this by using MVVM to bind to the items using a user control which contains the combo box, and the VM would contain the values (along with the validation). It's fairly straightforward, so I'd suggest that you have a read up on MVVM (that's Model View ViewModel).

Pete -
Thanks for the response. I have been reading up on MVVM, but my 'programming' background has mostly been Excel VBA and some basic/rudimentary WinForm apps. It's a big step to grasp the concepts behind MVVM.

It is - but once you get it, it makes tasks like this so much simpler.

Hello,
I am trying to build a WPF application using blend 3. I need to display HTML contents in a portion of my application window. I tried to use 'web browser' control for the purpose, it renders the HTML as desired. But the problem is when I apply a simple animation (change width) for the 'Web browser' control, using story board, the animation doesn’t take effect. I tried to play the story board at design time, animation is played as desired.
Can you please tell me how can I create animation for ‘Web browser’ and if it is possible please specify a sample? Are there any alternatives? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hassan

What kind of animations are you trying to apply to the control?
Post some code here - someone might have a suggestion or two.

I want to create an image programatically, but I haven't been able to find a way to do it. I want to create a bitmap, render some text onto it, rotate it and then use the bitmap in a Image control.
EDIT===============
My current thought is to have the server side create the image and pas it back to me, but man, what a pain in the ass...

If your image is an icon or a shape, you could actually use a path object. In thiw way, you dont need to actually use a bitmap or a jpeg.
These paths can be creted using Expression blend.

It's not a path. I want to create a transparent rectangle, render text on it, and then rotate it. The reason for that is I need a better appearance than what Silverlight can produce if I programatically add rotated content.

Do you have to do it in the client? If you can do it on the server, I'd just create a memory device context, and draw on that one.

That would be preferred, but it looks like it's impossible.

Yeah, I mentioned that in my edit. At this point, I have to decide whether I want to do it in our web service, or create an aspx page that does it in the code behind.

I am trying to display an exception in a treeview with each innerexception being a child.
Here is what I have so far, but this only displays the exception.tostring() values.
<GridViewColumn Header="Exception" Width="Auto" DisplayMemberBinding="">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Exception}">
<TreeView.ItemTemplate>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type sys:Exception}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=InnerException}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Message}"/>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</TreeView.ItemTemplate>
</TreeView>
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>

I think the real problem with this method is that InnerException is not a collection. You may be able to use a converter to convert InnerException to an array of exception objects. However, there is a much easier method.
Here is a simple sample Window that does something similar to what I think you want.
XAML
<Window x:Class="MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:s="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type s:Exception}">
<Expander Margin="20,0,0,0" Header="{Binding Message}" Content="{Binding InnerException}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<DockPanel>
<Button DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" Click="Button_Click">Error!</Button>
<ContentPresenter Name="Bob" />
</DockPanel>
</Window>
CODE (Pardon the VB)
Class MainWindow
Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
Try
a()
Catch ex As Exception
Me.Bob.Content = ex
End Try
End Sub
Private Sub a()
Try
b()
Catch ex As Exception
Throw New ArgumentException("WOW!", ex)
End Try
End Sub
Private Sub b()
Try
c()
Catch ex As Exception
Throw New InvalidCastException("no good", ex)
End Try
End Sub
Private Sub c()
Throw New InvalidOperationException("Bad magic")
End Sub
End Class
I use WPF's awesomeness with DataTemplates. Any exception object it displays will look like an Expander.

Hi,
I have a problem I can't get solved since days. I'm actually testing nHydrate to generate a DAL to my database.
The case is pretty simple :
I have an object called Maintable
class Maintable {
bool? Booleanfield { get; set; }
DateTime? Datefield { get; set; }
int Idmaintable { get; }
string Stringfield { get; set; }
int? Tostatic { get; set; }
}
In my database I have a static data table ; nHydrate generated for it a collection of objects
class Staticdatatable {
int Idstatic { get; }
string Name { get; }
}
The "Tostatic" field of Maintable object points to Idstatic field in Staticdatatable
So, now I'm trying to perform the following binding :
- Bind combobox list to Staticdatatable collection (this works fine)
- Bind combobox selected item to the Id of the Maintable object (problems start here)
I've bound all my controls in the window correctly to the Maintable object ; but I can't have the combobox displays the name of the corresponding Tostatic value.
The code-behind is :
Maintable CurrentItem = ...
EditionPanel.DataContext = CurrentItem;
cmbStatic.DataContext = StaticdatatableCollection.RunSelect();
The XAML code for combobox is :
<ComboBox x:Name="cmbStatic" ItemsSource="{Binding}" DisplayMemberPath="Name" SelectedValuePath="????" SelectedValue="????"></ComboBox>
My question is : How can I bind the Selected Value to the CurrentItem.Tostatic field defined in code-behind ?
If required I can post the entire code.
Thanks by advance for your help.
