This is exactly what I'm talking about! Smile | :)

But...is it really preferable to end up with a hefty ViewModel as opposed to a few more classes?

If you are finding that your VM is doing too much repackaging, its likely a deficiency in your model Smile | :)

. One thing that I like to do is make the model a partial class, so it can be easily extended in the UI without value converters or adding a ton of repacking in the VM. You'll find that a lot of stuff from Microsoft does exactly this. ADO.NET and WCF all make the models partial.

It really depends what you're trying to do. If it's purely acting on the VM to do something visual, I'd use a converter. If it was a deriving a new value for display from a current one, I'd rather do it in the VM. So, what do I mean by doing something visual? Well, in one application we wrote, we had to format the display to act like a typical accounts system and display negative numbers in red. In this case, adding the red brush in the VM was not one we felt comfortable with; using an instance of IValueConverter was a much better choice for us.

As is the case with the MVVM pattern in general, there is no clear black/white answer to this. As there isn't in the case of Validation: ValidationRule or IDataErrorInfo? Maybe that gray nature of the pattern - depends on what YOU want to do - is the strength and, in the same time, its weakness. And that confusion is what prevents me, so far, to take a deep dive in it.

MVVM is the Peter Parker of patterns. With great power comes great responsibility.

A lot of times, partial classes work great. Lets you keep the data provider layer from having to know about GUI specific crap and it rids you of value converters and data repackaging.

WCF and ADO.NET (and most ORMs and code generators) use partial classes. They are very useful if used properly.

Imagine your data provider has a class called SomeEntity:

class SomeEntity
{
string Name;
string Address;
}

Now what if you want to display certain names in a different color? You could add a value converter, but its much slicker and cleaner to change the class to:

partial class SomeEntity
{
string Name;
string Address;
}

and then in your GUI have:

partial class SomeEntity
{
Color txtColor;
}

and all you really need to do is properly fill in txtColor. No need for a converter Smile | :)

It was only a quick example of partial classes, not production or working code. You kind of missed my point(s) though:

1) code generators such as ado.net, wcf, etc. *already give* you partial classes, might as well take advantage.
2) partial classes are not in the VM, they are in the partial class.
3) often times, you need to pass in multiple objects to value converters so you have all the info you need... heck, I've written a value converter when I needed to pass in 7 objects. SEVEN!
4) the VM doesn't set the properties, the object does.

Here, since you didn't like my previous example, I'll give you a better one. Lets say you wanted the TxtColor to be black unless the persons age was < 21 where it would be red. Ok, so a value converter would pretty much just need the age, not a big deal. But the partial class would just expose an additional TxtColor property. It would also watch for changes to the 'Age' property so it could update itself.

Lets say that to decide on the TxtColor you needed additional input... the age, maybe the value of a radio button, the value of a check box, the type of user, etc. Now you are starting to grab the data from so many places that you need to pass a lot into the value converter. Since that happens via data binding, you add an additional expense as well. Could be useful if some of those values are going to change of course Smile | :)

, but if its just a static property, a value converter is not really the best solution.

Custom Strtpage Namespace Problem

I'm working on a custom startpage. I created a user control project and have the user control working in the start page. Now I want to add a command to it, like it shows here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee649080.aspx[^]

When I add the references and namespaces to my user control project that it says to add (aliased as SP and VS), and compile I get the error:

The type or namespace name 'VisualStudio' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

The startpage project has the exact same references and that project compiles.

Anyone have any idea wy this isn't working?

Thanks

A little code might help but I would suggest ensuring that your namespaces are the same. Seems you are trying to reference a namespace named 'Microsoft'.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. But the compiler doesn't like it.

Here's the XAML from the start page template:

<Grid xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
      xmlns:sp="clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.PlatformUI;assembly=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.StartPage"
      xmlns:vs="clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.PlatformUI;assembly=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.10.0"

      xmlns:my="clr-namespace:ProjectTree.Views;assembly=ProjectTree"

      xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" d:DesignHeight="600" d:DesignWidth="800">

Here's the XAML in my project:

<UserControl x:Class="ProjectTree.Views.ProjectsView"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

             xmlns:sp="clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.PlatformUI;assembly=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.StartPage"

             d:DesignHeight="250"
             d:DesignWidth="250">

I refererenced the same assemblies, and copied the namespace XAML from the other project. So it should compile.

Unable to click or select TextBox in WPF? [SOLVED]

This is driving me nuts guys. I'm displaying a grid with column and row layout information. Basically it's my data entry screen. Since I'm using a one window app I hide the grid or collapse it and make it visible when the user selects the data entry option. I have set focus to the first field or Text box in the grid, but if you try to click another Text box nothing happens it's almost like the entire grid is disabled and I can't click anything in it.

So long as I have the first Text box selected I can tab through all the rest but I cannot click select a Text box. Anyone please give me some ideas I've been fighting this for weeks now. I have made sure the Grid, and Text boxes are focus-able.

Here is my code showing the three Grids I make visible or collapse:

Doesn't compile for one thing. Nobody is going to hand look through 2000 lines of Xaml or try to get it to compile. Too many unresolved styles and references and namespaces. If you want someone to help you with something like this, I'd suggest posting a SMALL & COMPILEABLE project Smile | :)

I didn't expect it to compile, I simply wanted you to see how I was setting up my XAML. I have one master Grid. One main grid showing general content. One Grid displays Contact information from my database, and the other Package information from my database. I collapse the main grid to make the other grids visible when I need them. I'm suspecting this is part of the reason I cannot click on the visible grid. If you have a suggestion on another technique to do the same thing I'm all ears.

I'm not sure why you've taken this approach. Rather than do this, why don't you use the editable collection functionality that's built in? The good Dr WPF has a detailed explanation here[^], and I wrote code you can reuse here[^].

I thought about doing it your way but I'm already populating a Data Table and felt it might be even more confusing adding a collection when i can populate with data from the table directly.

So its something like the MS Word options dialog? Where you have some form of navigation on the left and the content on the right? I'd probably do a similiar thing... have each page on a grid that can be collapsed when its not visible. Like I said though, you have too much xaml there for anybody to make heads & tails of it. What you might want to do is repro it in a small app, just have the grids and maybe a button in each sub grid and make sure you can click on the buttons when the grid is visibile. Thats really all I can think of without a compilable app to debug Smile | :)

I'll try that, and yes you are absolutely correct. I'm actually using an Actipro WPF Ribbon bar with buttons that select the functions.

I use ActiPro Ribbon too... haven't had any problems with it. They are probably the most feature complete ribbon out there IMHO and they are really quick on support.

Solved this, was the order in which I was collapsing and Viewing the grids that was blocking my mouse from selecting the textblocks.

PRISM - When is the module catalogue's modules registered with the container?

Hi All,

As the title says really, when in PRISM are each of the modules in the module catalog registered with the container (in my case Castle). And can I override it?

Basically the problem I have is that when doing this for example:

this.ModuleCatalog.AddModule(AvailableApplicationModules.SampleModule);

At some point that module is then registered with the container. Now in castle atleast when doing this if no Name is specified (which it isn't) then the default AssemblyQualifiedName of the implementation is used. This includes the version number and is causing problems on the build server when it will always be dynamic. So my plan is the set the .Name property when the module is registered with the container so that I can retrieve the module by using:

this.windsorContainer.Resolve<object>(string Key)

But I can't find the part were the modules are registered with the container. I'm presuming that PRISM itself takes care of this so I guess I need to override something.

Prism is open source. So you can probably look at the source code itself to get a better idea.

You can use the IModuleCatalog interface if you want to implement something on your own.

Thank You

thanks



            using System.Windows.Xps.Packaging;

      private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
        //Absolute Path works (below)
            //var xpsDocument = new XpsDocument(@"C:\Users\..\Visual Studio 2008\Projects \MyProject\MyProject\Docs\MyDocument.xps", FileAccess.Read); 
        //Resource Path doesn't work (below)
        var xpsDocument = new XpsDocument(@"\MyProject;component/Docs/Mydocument.xps",    FileAccess.Read);

What text do you want to highlight? All of the text? A specific paragraph?
