XAML and C# ! - WPF Discussion Boards

Using VS2008 Standard on XP/64:

I'm trying to do my first WPF app, and the IDE seems to have lost the ability to show properties for any control. The only way to fix it is to shut the IDE down and restart it, and then, it only works for the first control you try to view the properties for. What a POS...

Wait, you were using the IDE? That's your problem, everybody knows that you shouldn't use XAML never mind the IDE, just use C#.

Frame inside UserControl and wrong namespace

Jammni+27-Dec-08 3:32

27-Dec-08 3:32

Hi,

I created a UserControl in XAML that includes a Frame. But when the application is loading the Frame source, the application throws and InvalidOperationException. This message tells me, that the class for the Frame's source couldn't be found in the given namespace. And this is true, because it doesn't use the namespace I intended. Here's a short example to illustrate the problem:

// fooControl.xaml

<UserControl 
    x:Class="foo.fooControl"
...>
  <Frame Source="fooPage.xaml" />
</UserControl>

// fooPage.xaml

<Page
    x:Class="foo.fooPage"
...>
...
</Page>

Now the application tries to find the class for fooPage in the wrong namespace, i.e. foo.fooControl.fooPage. But that's of course wrong, because it's called foo.fooPage.

Can anybody help me and show me the correct way to achieve what I want?

Thanks in advance,
Jammni+

Are you sure you didn't change the namespace in your code-behind?

This works fine for me:

<!-- UserControl1.xaml -->

<UserControl x:Class="WPFTester.UserControl1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Height="128" Width="200">
    <Grid>
        <Frame Name="frame1" Source="Page1.xaml" />
    </Grid>
</UserControl>


<!-- Page1.xaml -->

<Page x:Class="WPFTester.Page1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="Page1" Height="128" Width="200">
    <Grid Background="SteelBlue"/>
</Page>



<!-- Window1.xaml -->

<Window x:Class="WPFTester.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WPFTester"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Grid>
        <local:UserControl1></local:UserControl1>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Thanks for your answer. That's more or less exactly what I am doing. Only that I placed the files in some directories, so the namespace is a bit longer.

And I didn't change the namespace in the code behind files. The strange thing is, that the exception already says, that the class should be located in a different namespace - one, that doesn't make any sense to me.

Currently I load the page in the code behind file. Perhaps I get some time later this day and can break it down and post a "working" sample.

But anyway, thanks for your answer Smile | :)

XAML and C# !

Hi everybody.

In HTML we can use a written tag in somewhere of our page, with its ID and JavaScript . As you know something like this :

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    var tag = document.getElementById('tagID');
    var destinationTag = document.getElementById('destinationID');
    destinationTag.innerHTML = tag.innerHTML;
</script>

Now I wanna do it with XAML and C#.
For example, I've already written this XAML code :

<Grid x:Name="tag">
    <Rectangle Style="{DynamicResource RectangleStyleForHolydays}"/>
    <TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
    content
    </TextBlock>
</Grid>

Then I wanna write this XAML code in a container like a Grid with C#

<Grid x:Name="destinationTag">
	<!-- here -->
</Grid>

Is it possible ?
Any ideas ?

Thank you.

AFAIK you can't embed C# in XAML.

You can, however, create child elements of your "destinationTag"
Grid using C#....is that what you need to do?

No, thanks ~~I thought maybe we can do it like HTML and JavaScript.~~
BTW I didn't want embed C# in XAML , I've wanted to copy XAML codes with C# from a side XAML file to the other side of it.
Do u understand what I mean ?

Actually, you can embed .NET language code within XAML by placing it within <x:code xmlns:x="#unknown"> tags. Such code is moved into the generated partial class by the compiler, and the language must match the language of the containing project (i.e. you can't embed C# in a VB proj).

While I can't think of any good reason to do this, it is possible.

<Button Click="button_Click">Ok</Button>
<x:Code><!CDATA[
void button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.Close();
}
]]></x:Code>

This example is taken from WPF Unleashed by Adam Nathan. Wrapping in CDATA is not required, but avoids the need to escape less-than, greater-than, and ampersand chars.

I am not aware of any links to more examples; probably because I can't think of any instance where coding in this manner would be a good idea.

Keith

P.S. Sorry about the formatting, couldn't figure out how to embed the XAML tags properly.
