The Validation.Errors property[^] and the IDataErrorInfo interface[^] can help you capture and display the error.

Thanks for the links. But they do not cover my problem: I do not care for a rule that my int must be between 1 and 99 or something like that, but that it must be an int! Just check the demo program of your second link: in the age field enter "1" and leave the field => it is ok. Then come back and add a letter, e.g. "w1" => it stays valid. Why? Exactly because of the problem I described above: the setter of the age property is not called now, the property's value is still 1, and that's ok. But not ok for me, because the UI shows a different (illegal) value.
How do you cope with such problems? Do you use a fully fledged WPF framework which handles such cases?

Well, I would use an Attached Behavior to handle this. Something like this[^] one.

Also the Attached Behavior tries to prevent the problem, not to solve it after it has come to existence. At least, the framework you suggested (thanks for the link) covers copy&paste as an input method.
But still the problem that the UI contains "illegal" input exists:
It could be appropriate to explicitly allow entering wrong input. E.g. when using a barcode reader, I would not silently filter out unwanted characters, I'd rather tell the user that something wrong happened, e.g. he scanned from the wrong label.
And there might be input methods which do not use keyboard or copy&paste. Imagine an assistive technology which sends a WM_SETTEXT to the textbox...
There might be cases where preventing the wrong input by keyboard might be too complicated, i.e. here the wrong input would be possible, and the error happens when WPF tries to convert from string to the required datatype. A custom converter (IValueConverter) cannot directly talk with the ViewModel, exceptions would be handled by the WPF databinding classes.
Currently my impression is that I should change some properties in my ViewModel to string, since a conversion from string (TextBox.Text) to a string cannot fail. The property setter of the ViewModel then has to do the conversion to the type of the property in the underlying business object, and exceptions raised here can be easily caught. This means that the ViewModel class get even more bloated. But I'd easily cope with another bug of WPF: it always uses a decimal point, even when Windows regional settings tell that it should be a decimal comma.

<pre lang="c#">
public int ListInXpsDoc(string srcXpsDocument)
{
int numImages = 0;
int numPages = 0;
XpsDocument document = new XpsDocument(srcXpsDocument, FileAccess.Read);
IXpsFixedDocumentSequenceReader docSequence = document.FixedDocumentSequenceReader;
if (docSequence != null)
{
foreach (IXpsFixedDocumentReader docSeqDocument in docSequence.FixedDocuments)
{
foreach (IXpsFixedPageReader docPage in docSeqDocument.FixedPages)
{
numPages++;

We're going to use Silverlight 5 for an out-of-browser application and need to have an individual title of the main window. In Silverlight 4 it was not possible to set this property as far as I know (See this issue). By default the main window has the title of the project followed by "Application". Does Silverlight 5 bring the ability to change the main window title? Maybe even during runtime via data binding?
|
|
|
|

The title still seems to only have a get and not a set type (see here[^]).
The only way to set this appears to be via the xaml itelf.
This property does not appear to be a Dependency Property so binding too seems out of the question.
I may be wrong though.

Thanks for the hint. I tried the WindowSettings.Title but as you have pointed out, it is only accesible via XAML Attribute Usage and is not settable in code-behind or usable via data binding.
I think I've found another solution:
Im accessing the Main Application Window via "Application.Current.MainWindow" (see here[^]). This Application Class Property is of the Type System.Windows.Window (see here[^]) which has a settable Property "Title". Now I can at least set the main window title during runtime via a method:
private void SetMainTitle(string TitleStr)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(TitleStr))
{
}
else
{
Application.Current.MainWindow.Title = TitleStr;
}
}

I am trying to manke a generic HierarchicalDataTemplate to be used in all TreeViews. I am creating a Templates.xaml where I have the following template
<!--
<HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="TreeNodeTemplate" DataType="{x:Type vm:TreeNodeVM}" ItemsSource="{Binding Children}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Width="16" Height="16" Margin="3,0"
Source="{Binding ImageSource, Converter={StaticResource ImageFromAssetsConverter}}" /><<<< error here
<TextBlock Text="{Binding NodeLabel}" Margin="3" />
</StackPanel>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
My problem is that I cannot work out how to reference the Converter ImageFromAssetsConverter which lives in the Code folder. I have declared the code folder in the .xaml header.
xmlns:code="clr-namespace:ClassBuilder.Code">

First of all, if this template can be used across projects, you have to specify which assembly i<t is in as well. The problem you look to be having is that you haven't supplied the ImageFromAssetsConverter key. This would look something like
<code:ImageFromAssetsConverter x:key="ImageFromAssetsConverter" />

Bloody hell I just want to get the dammed thing working in my POC, I'm happy to make it project specific and C&P it from one project to the next as it is still evolving.
I have the reference in my App.xaml and the template works fine when placed inside the TreeView on the view.
<!--
<ResourceDictionary>
<code:ImageFromAssetsConverter x:Key="ImageFromAssetsConverter" />
</ResourceDictionary>

The key should be defined in Templates.xaml rather than App.xaml. Just move that line into your template file and you should be good to go.

I need to create a WPF app that posts a message to a Facebook wall. I'm doing it in Win 8/Metro. I have the SDK, I and found this
http://blog.prabir.me/post/Facebook-CSharp-SDK-What%E2%80%99s-new-in-v5-3.aspx[^]
The Facebook Developer site doesn't have any info about Windows Metro development.
I have the project set up, but aside from the link above there's not much help out there. Again, all I want to do is post a message to a Facebook wall.
So far I have this:
public MainWindowViewModel()
{
try
{
Action<object> action = handleTask;
var fb = new FacebookClient(FACEBOOK_ID, FACEBOK_SECRET);
var task = fb.GetTaskAsync("4");
task.ContinueWith(action);
}
catch (FacebookApiException ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
private void handleTask(object data)
{
}
The handleTask method gets called, but I can't figure out the type being passed. The data in it appears to be Zuckerberg's FB info (???).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Everything makes sense in someone's mind

Your asking people who make a living from writing software about how to crack a 3rd party ASP development product in a WPF/Silverlight forum.
I assume you should contact Intersoft, I assume the trial version of the tools are crippled!

I am quite sure that they would be happy to help you activiate the full version.
Why is common sense not common?

I am trying to emulate the preview that is in this app...
The app I am referring to is an app for the iPad. I am trying to do this for my own touch screen WPF app. What I am wanting it a panel of some kind that I can pull up that shows a zoomed in version of a specified area that the user clicked. I have tried layout and render scale transforms the problem that I run into is that when the "preview" area is zoomed in and the user writes the "note" area shows the ink in the wrong place... Also the "preview" area looks terrible because of the scaling the background image is very pixelated. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated thanks for you time.
