Re: How to handle Different Modules in MVP ??

20-Aug-09 22:50

I am designing an UI Application with WPF (XAML and C#). This application interacts with Database(sqlserver 2008) too. This app is a tool for the project.

I have to implement this with CAB architecture and Model-View-Presenter(MVP).

If I have functionalites like 1. Uploading data to database 2. Downloading data from database. then,

My questions are : 1. What will Model, View and Presenter roles in these applications.

How the interfaces between these modules happen?

Is it I have to Create IModel (interface) b/w presenter and Model, IView (interface) b/w presenter and view?

So, my codebehind will have only events calls (like btn_click) ??

Which module handles Database access?

I know I asked lot of questions, but I have made the UI ready for the rest of the work flow .

I am sorry if many questions are put in one place. I will be so glad, if I can get answers for all the things.

Kindly help me.

Thank you,

Ramm

I would suggest some background reading on the MVP/MVVM patterns as there is something of a learning curve to get this right. You may like to start with Model View Presenter, and perhaps The Model-View-ViewModel.

How to stretch the image of (1* 66 ) pixel

Re: How to stretch the image of (1* 66 ) pixel

20-Aug-09 5:15

Hi,

In a WPF Application using XAML,

I have 2 images, which needs to be oriental of horizantal. One is of width 784 * 66 and other is 1 * 66.

while, design time, since my window is auto it shows properly, but during runtime, the window is of 1280 width... so, the image 1 * 66 should stretch and cover the rest (1280 - (784 + 1))

|____________________________|_|

should become

|____________________________|_______________________|

which means , my firstimage should have the same width (784) and the second image should stretch to cover the rest even though its only one pixel.

<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="66" Name="grdTopImages">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" MinWidth="1" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="66" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Name="imgClientPhoto" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Source="/Honeywell.eHTMP;component/Resources/_left.gif"></Image>
<Image Name="imgExtraImg" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Stretch="Fill" Source="/Honeywell.eHTMP;component/Resources/_right.gif"></Image>
</Grid>

Please help me

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I could solve it,

<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" MinWidth="1" />

should be the other way width property

<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="1" />

Thanks a lot

Hello,

I have a Silverlight 3 application where I use a tab control and I want to implement the navigational framework into it. The tabs on my page are created dynamically by the user, saying this

TabItem ti = new TabItem();
Frame frame = new Frame();
ti.Content = frame;
MyTabs.Items.Add(ti);

When the user clicks a link, I want content to load into whichever tab is currently selected, so I say this

HyperlinkButton btn = sender as HyperlinkButton;
string url = btn.Tag.ToString();
Frame frame = MyTabs.SelectedContent as Frame;
frame.Navigate(new Uri(url, UriKind.Relative));

The current tab loads the page into its frame correctly. However, as I click through the other tabs, they also have loaded the page into their frames, so all open tabs have the exact same content. So for example, the user has 5 tabs open. They click a link, and the currently selected tab loads a Page into its Frame. If they go to one of the four other tabs, they see that those tabs also loaded the same Page. How can I make sure that only the selected tab gets its new Page and not the other tabs? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Have you tried using Prism V2 (CompositeWPF)? There is a TabRegaion Adapter that you can use.

You could always use an Expander.

<Expander Header="Folders" IsExpanded="false">
 ..
</Expander>

Is there a way to have the expander bump other elements out of the way? for instance if your collapsed expander is next to a list view, can you move the listview over when you expand? probably not possible but thought id ask

Problem with Silverlight application using WCF Service to get the data from database without LINQ

Hi

I'm using a wcf service to get the data from the database and bind it silverlight control. And below is the code sample that i've written.

Problem here is WCF service that i've created is on basichttpbinding. Silverlight supports only this binding I think. So I changed the end point in my WCF service from default (wsHTTPbining ) to basic. when i add the service reference to the silverlight application the following is the silverlight clientconfig I'm getting with the error that i got when i build the application.

<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_ITestWCF" maxBufferSize="2147483647"
maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
<security mode="None" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8731/TestWCFLib/basic" binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_ITestWCF" contract="testService.ITestWCF"
name="BasicHttpBinding_ITestWCF" />
</client>

I didn't use any LINQ to SQL to retrieve data from the database. Without LINQ is it possible? If possible what is the solution? Pls give some links on this......

I'm missing something here....where is the problem?

Is this a WCF problem or a database access problem?

You showed WCF configuration....is that from the client side or the server side?
What does the other end's configuration look like?

Thanks Mark for the reply.

Problem is while adding service reference to the silverlight application in ServiceReference.ClientConfig file it shows the end points properly. That means no problem with WCF Service. In the WCFTESTCLIENT also I tested, It works very well.

But when I bind the service method in the pageloading event to a silverlight combobox control, It is showing the following error.....

I can only guess with the given information.

Looks like you need to debug your server so you can get more meaningful
exception info. WHERE the exception is occurring would be helpful too.

The exception message you posted mentions checking the inner exception...
what's there?

Are you using DataTable? (From the looks of it your WCF returns DataTable)
Silverlight does not support DataSet and DataTable, therefore your WCF has to return the result as an ICollection, e.g. List, ArrayList.

WPFToolkit - Sort Arrows in DataGrid

Is there something special I have to do to get the direction arrows to show up in the DataGrid that comes with the WPFToolkit? The columns sort okay, but I don't get any direction arrows...

John,

The arrows will always show after the column header is clicked.

To get them to show on form open, in your XAML set the SortDirection property.

<toolkit:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding FirstName}" SortDirection="Descending" Header="First Name" />

Populate a DataGrid WITHOUT Binding

#realJSOP19-Aug-09 3:23

#realJSOP

19-Aug-09 3:23

I'm observing significant scrolling/sorting performance problems with a RadGridView object, and I wanted to try manually populating the grid instead of using data binding to see if that would solve the issue. However, I'm stuck.

Exactly how would I go about adding the rows from the dataset to the Items collection in the grid? I tried this:

dataGridRad.Items.Add(dt.Rows[rowNumb]);

but I get no rows in the grid.

How can I prevent a user to click a button more than once

fiaolle18-Aug-09 9:13

18-Aug-09 9:13

Hi
When the button is clicked it changes to another page (UserControl), but
if they click the button fast a couple of times it crashes. That is because the service isn't finished with getting data from the database, which the other pages need. I don't want to use IsEnabled=false, is there another way?

Thanks
Fia

Re: How can I prevent a user to click a button more than once

Pete O'Hanlon18-Aug-09 9:56

18-Aug-09 9:56

Why do you not want to do IsEnabled=false? An alternative could be to set a flag when you click the button the first time and reset it when the service has finished getting data; then it wouldn't matter whether or not the user multipresses the button, you won't make the call until the flag says it's okay to do so.
