ListBox you mean?

Just because in your work you always need a grid doesn't mean everyone does. I would bet listboxes are used way more than datagrids.

To me, the fact that "grid" is in the name tells me when I want to use a DataGrid - when I need to present a list of data in a grid (rows and columns). If I just need a selectable list of items then the much lighter weight ListBox is a more appropriate choice.

I think that may be the issue here, the work I do is very data oriented, lists of information is my primary requirement with almost zero graphics. The most we do is some simple transformations.

It seems it should be the default list control to me

I'm glad it isn't. Here's an example layout we have - a set of people laid out horizontally at the bottom of the screen. With the Listbox, this was an extremely trivial layout. With a GridView - less trivial.

Yeah I think Mark got nailed it, I have an extremely narrow data requirement. I once used a listbox to do a horizontal list in a private app rather than work.

Fair enough. You can see now why I commented on the difference in styling the beasts.

I'd say I usually avoid the ListBox because it makes the UI look "low budget". The work you need to put in should be irrelevant vs the end result. You can customize it, I suppose... but if I was just showing an item with "one column", I'd probably pick a ComboBox.

Help me I want to get the value of selectedValue in ListBox [modified]

Somewhere in that HUGE code dump there should be an itemssource={binding observablecollection} and a selecteditem={binding SelectedObject}. The selectedobject then has the information you are looking for, wherever possible use the data container to manipulate your information, NOT your display object.

I do wonder why you used a listbox instead of a gridview, so far I have not ever had to use a listbox.

hi
I my SL 4 project used the Silverlight toolkit control : TimePicker.

I referenced the library the dll : System.Windows.Controls.Input.Toolkit

When i compile as Debug no problem. When colmpile as Release i get the following error(TimePicker) :

Make sure you have added a reference to the TimePicker in the xaml file where this is being used.
Also, clean your solution once and then try again.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

hmm....I just tried and had no problem. What version of the toolkit do you have installed?

Also make sure you've referenced the correct DLL. For example, the path to the assembly I used is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v4.0\Toolkit\Apr10\Bin\System.Windows.Controls.Input.Toolkit.dll

In ServiceReference i referenced the System.Window.Controls.Input.Toolkit (i didn't installed the toolkit).

Can you help me with another thing ??
I downloaded the "April2010Toolkit.zip" that contain also the source code .. can i use only the code of TimePicker ???

I suppose you could, but I wouldn't. The source code is there to allow the community to help with development and debugging as these new things are being developed, but using it in production code is unwise.

No not got it working yet.As i downloaded the "April2010Toolkit.zip", that contains the System.Winodws.Control.Input.Toolkit.dll file, and i referenced to this.

I'm confused. You stated "i didn't installed the toolkit". You need to install it to reference the correct assembly since that's where the control implementation is.

So if you did install it, what's not working?

Multiple calls to same wcf service method from Silverlight application

Pankaj Chamria3-Jul-11 23:01

3-Jul-11 23:01

I am using a Silverlight enabled WCF Service with the following attribute:

[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]

It has a method say

[OperationContract]
public IEnumerable<Entity> GetAllEntities();

Sometimes I want to call this method multiple times within short span of time.. as WCF calls from Silverlight have to be asynchromous, the second call ends up getting called before the first one returned with the results. This results into the UserState getting corrupted. I find that the UserState of one of the calls gets overwritten by that of another call. I find this problem when the calls return and I extract the UserState from the EventArgs.

This seems to be a concurrency problem. I know we should avoid design which causes such multiple calls in Silverlight, but in some cases you just have to. Is there any workaroung/ solution to this problem?

Well, call the second service once the first one executes. No other choice.

Just asking....the UserState you refer to is your object right?

Like Abhinav S mentioned, you need to chain the asynchronous calls.

You mean the UserState on the server, right?

Either you need to write the service so that it can cope with being run concurrently, or wrap the content of that method with lock(UserState){ ... }. (You don't want to use [Synchronized] because it should be able to run concurrently for different users, even if making it work concurrently for the same one is too hard.) Obviously, the first way is preferred.

I'm guessing your method is actually not just a 'GetAllXxx' but instead updates some server state, because there should be no problem with doing multiple gets in parallel, and also you would not need to call that multiple times (the result could be cached).

Can you explain a bit more about what the service method is doing and why you need to call it multiple times? I would expect that it would be possible to bundle the requests up into a single service call in some way, reducing network traffic as well as reducing your concurrency issues. But you should still write a robust service regarding concurrency.

Problem with DataGrid Rows in WPF

Member 29729921-Jul-11 3:24

Member 2972992

I have a datagrid where I have two buttons on each row - one for moving a row up and one for moving a row down.

Each button has a command for allowing the user to move the selected row in either direction. The problem that I am facing is that it not working. I think the problem that I may have is that the other controls (combo boxes) on the rows are bound to data sources through the MVVM model where I am manipulating the rows on the code behind of the XAML thinking this would be the logical place in which to do it.

The code I have for one of the buttons is below:

private void MoveRowDown(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{

int currentRowIndex = dg1.ItemContainerGenerator.IndexFromContainer(dg1.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(dg1.SelectedItem));

if (currentRowIndex >= 0)
{
this.GetRow(currentRowIndex + 1).IsSelected = true;
}

}
private DataGridRow GetRow(int index)
{
DataGridRow row = (DataGridRow)dg1.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(index);
if (row == null)
{
dg1.UpdateLayout();
dg1.ScrollIntoView(selectedAttributes.Items[index]);
row = (DataGridRow)dg1.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(index);
}
return row;
}

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
