It's not a path. I want to create a transparent rectangle, render text on it, and then rotate it. The reason for that is I need a better appearance than what Silverlight can produce if I programatically add rotated content.

Do you have to do it in the client? If you can do it on the server, I'd just create a memory device context, and draw on that one.

That would be preferred, but it looks like it's impossible.

Yeah, I mentioned that in my edit. At this point, I have to decide whether I want to do it in our web service, or create an aspx page that does it in the code behind.

I am trying to display an exception in a treeview with each innerexception being a child.

Here is what I have so far, but this only displays the exception.tostring() values.

<GridViewColumn Header="Exception" Width="Auto" DisplayMemberBinding="">
    <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Exception}">
                <TreeView.ItemTemplate>
                    <HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type sys:Exception}"
                                              ItemsSource="{Binding Path=InnerException}">
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Message}"/>
                    </HierarchicalDataTemplate>
                </TreeView.ItemTemplate>
            </TreeView>
        </DataTemplate>
    </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>

I think the real problem with this method is that InnerException is not a collection. You may be able to use a converter to convert InnerException to an array of exception objects. However, there is a much easier method.

Here is a simple sample Window that does something similar to what I think you want.

XAML

<Window x:Class="MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:s="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Window.Resources>
        <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type s:Exception}">
            <Expander Margin="20,0,0,0"  Header="{Binding Message}" Content="{Binding InnerException}"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </Window.Resources>
    <DockPanel>
        <Button DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" Click="Button_Click">Error!</Button>
        <ContentPresenter Name="Bob" />
    </DockPanel>
</Window>

CODE (Pardon the VB)

Class MainWindow
	Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
		Try
			a()
		Catch ex As Exception
			Me.Bob.Content = ex
		End Try
	End Sub

	Private Sub a()
		Try
			b()
		Catch ex As Exception
			Throw New ArgumentException("WOW!", ex)
		End Try
	End Sub

	Private Sub b()
		Try
			c()
		Catch ex As Exception
			Throw New InvalidCastException("no good", ex)
		End Try
	End Sub

	Private Sub c()
		Throw New InvalidOperationException("Bad magic")
	End Sub
End Class

I use WPF's awesomeness with DataTemplates. Any exception object it displays will look like an Expander.

Binding Selected Value to Combobox

Hi,

I have a problem I can't get solved since days. I'm actually testing nHydrate to generate a DAL to my database.
The case is pretty simple :

I have an object called Maintable

class Maintable {
		bool? Booleanfield { get; set; }
		DateTime? Datefield { get; set; }
		int Idmaintable { get; }
		string Stringfield { get; set; }
		int? Tostatic { get; set; }
}

In my database I have a static data table ; nHydrate generated for it a collection of objects

class Staticdatatable {
		int Idstatic { get; }
		string Name { get; }
}

The "Tostatic" field of Maintable object points to Idstatic field in Staticdatatable

So, now I'm trying to perform the following binding :
- Bind combobox list to Staticdatatable collection (this works fine)
- Bind combobox selected item to the Id of the Maintable object (problems start here)

I've bound all my controls in the window correctly to the Maintable object ; but I can't have the combobox displays the name of the corresponding Tostatic value.

The code-behind is :

Maintable CurrentItem = ... // retrieve an Maintable object to display
// EditionPanel is the main panel of the window 
EditionPanel.DataContext = CurrentItem; 
// nHydrate RunSelect() allows to fill combobox from collection of Staticdatatable objects 
cmbStatic.DataContext = StaticdatatableCollection.RunSelect();

The XAML code for combobox is :

<ComboBox x:Name="cmbStatic" ItemsSource="{Binding}" DisplayMemberPath="Name" SelectedValuePath="????"  SelectedValue="????"></ComboBox>

My question is : How can I bind the Selected Value to the CurrentItem.Tostatic field defined in code-behind ?

If required I can post the entire code.

Thanks by advance for your help.

This is possible in Silverlight.

However, you cannot access stored procedures using Ado.Net (as Ado.Net are not available in SL).
You will need to use either a web service or entity framework.

Re: how can I apply textblock properties to Path???

Properties like textdecoration and fontweight are not valid properties for a Path and so they cannot be applied directly. You will need to create new dependency properties for a path and then implement your own logic to simulate this behaviour.

To create custom properties, see here.

For an e.g. on a control see here.

Unfortunately I could not find an example where a Path is used.
