I'm pretty sure the trust restrictions of Silverlight apps
will prevent you from using the system tray.

Silverlight is a browser plugin and thus is meant to be cross-platform compatible.

The notification area is Windows specific. It's unlikely we'll see this
feature in Silverlight any time soon.

You should use WPF for full trust, full .NET framework features.

You can't do this because Silverlight is meant to respect the security Sandbox of the browser. That means that there are lots of operations you can't do such as interact with the desktop or file system outside of Isolated Storage. This is important because it helps to protect you from downloading malicious content from outside sources.

If you need desktop interaction, write a WPF application and download it using Click Once.

The MediaElement control, is basicallly Windows Media Player under the hood. So, if WMP can't play it, neither can the MediaElement.

Ambiguous Match Found [SOLVED]

#realJSOP26-Jun-09 6:17

Re: Ambiguous Match Found

Related to my attached properties question, I created a style based on the original style, like so:

<Style x:Key="UDPGlobalGridViewStyle" TargetType="{x:Type udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView}"
                  BasedOn="{StaticResource UDPRadGridViewTopTitle}">
    <Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.TitleBarVisibility" Value="Visible" />
    <Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.TitleBarBackground" Value="Black" />

    <!--<Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.TitleBarBorderBrush" Value="Black" />-->

    <Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.TitleBarBorderThickness" Value="1" />
    <Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.TitleTextForeground" Value="White" />
    <Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.TitleTextFontFamily" Value="Arial" />
    <Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.TitleTextFontSize" Value="16" />
    <Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.TitleTextFontWeight" Value="Bold" />
    <Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.TitleTextFontStyle" Value="Italic" />
    <Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.GridPrintButtonVisibility" Value="Hidden" />
    <Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.GridExportButtonVisibility" Value="Visible" />
    <Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.GridExportButtonIsEnabled" Value="True" />
</Style>

The line that's commented out generates the following compiler error:

Ambiguous match found

I don't know why.

EDIT/SOLUTION ----------------------------

The problem was the result of too hastily copy/pasting. Two of my Get properties had the same name and returning different types.

Change the style name - see if it works OK with a different name. I suspect you have a conflict where the Key is declared twice, but in different cases.

Setting Label.Content via attached property [SOLVED]

26-Jun-09 15:38

See OP - I found out what it was.

#realJSOP26-Jun-09 5:01

26-Jun-09 5:01

I have the following line in a XAML style:

<Setter Property="udpcontrols:UDPTelerikGridView.TitleTextContent" Value="Search Results" />

In the custom control class, the attached property is defined like so:

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public static readonly DependencyProperty TitleTextContentProperty = 
                       DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("TitleTextContent", 
                                                           typeof(ContentControl), 
                                                           typeof(UDPTelerikGridView));

public static void SetTitleTextContent(UIElement element, ContentControl value)
{
	element.SetValue(TitleTextContentProperty, value);
}

public static ContentControl GetTitleTextContent(UIElement element)
{
	return (ContentControl)element.GetValue(TitleTextContentProperty);
}

And I have this code in the OnApplyTemplate method:

Label titleText = base.GetTemplateChild("PART_Title") as Label;
if (titleText != null)
{
	titleText.Content    = GetTitleTextContent(this);
}

The WPF designer is telling me this:

Error 2 - 'Search Results' is not a valid value for the 'Comet.UDPControls.UDPTelerikGridView.TitleTextContent' property on a Setter.

I'm off to google (yet again), but I thought I'd post this in advance. Anyone have any ideas?

========================

Solution - I changed the attached property type from ContentControl to object.

It looks to me that you are trying to set the TitleTextContent property (of type ContentControl) with a String value. As the error message says, a String is not a valid value for a ContentControl.

Perhaps you meant to declare the property as Object?

#realJSOP26-Jun-09 15:42

26-Jun-09 15:42

The reason I was doing that is because I thought WPF was smart enough to make the call. Afterall, setting Label.Content in CS or in XAML can be done like so:

Label.Content = "my string";

<Label Content="my string" />

In both instances, the Content property is *still* a ContentControl.

Gideon Engelberth26-Jun-09 15:56

26-Jun-09 15:56

Actually, it's not. Looking in the object browser shows that the Content property is of type Object. Perhaps you are thinking of how the Content property is *on* ContentControl?
