Post your code. May be that would help us to understand you problem.

In a high level, it seems you are binding same property to both columns.

Debug/Troubleshoot WPF Binding settings

I've been playing with some data bindings recently and I've noticed sometimes I mess something up. Whatever happens prevents the application from shutting down completely. It hangs on a native call to GetMessageW() after my main window has closed.

I'm looking for any help or ideas on how to figure out where my problem might be without removing all bindings and putting them in one by one. I've also been adding my own dependency properties and am not sure if those could be causing the problem.

WPF for Windows CE 6.0

Hey all,

Can someone tell me if WPF .NET 3.5 apps are compatible on Windows CE 6.0? I tried looking at a lot of places and still haven't found a definitive answer to this. You'd think that both being Microsoft technologies it would be obviously supported but I can't seem to find a set response for the question.

Thanks,

No they aren't. The CE framework lacks a lot (such as DirectX support) that WPF is built upon.

Cannot find governing FrameworkElement or FrameworkContentElement

stofel2-Aug-10 4:15

Hi,

I'm a newbie in wpf and I have a problem with the binding.

I have a class inherited from FramworkElement and there is a Collection. The Items of this collection are inherited from DependencyObject.

On the Form is only one TextBox. I want that the text, which is typed by the user will be copied into the first Item of the collection.

Here some code

public class Item: DependencyObject
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }

          public virtual object Value {
            get { return GetValue(ValueProperty); }
            set { SetValue(ValueProperty, value); }
        }

        #region DependenvyProperty
          public static readonly DependencyProperty ValueProperty =
              DependencyProperty.Register("Value", typeof(object), typeof(Item));
        #endregion

    }

    public class ItemContainer : FrameworkElement
    {
       
        private List<Item> _itemlist = new List<Item>();

        public List<Item> ItemList
        {
            get { return _itemlist; }
        }
    }

and the form:

Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="Window1" Height="417" Width="589" xmlns:my="clr-namespace:WpfApplication2">
    <Grid>
        <my:ItemContainer Height="18" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="-168,0,0,33" x:Name="itemContainer1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="18">
            <my:ItemContainer.ItemList>
                <my:Item Name="Item1" Value="{Binding ElementName=txtItem1, Path=Text}" />
                <my:Item Name="Item2" />
            </my:ItemContainer.ItemList>
        </my:ItemContainer>
        <Canvas Margin="16,18,8,6" Name="canvas1">
            <TextBox Canvas.Left="88" Canvas.Top="15" Height="23" Name="txtitem1" Width="89" />
            <Label Canvas.Left="14" Canvas.Top="16" Height="22" Name="label1" Width="58">Item1
            </Label>
        </Canvas>
    </Grid>
</Window>

At runtime the program displays the error2 Cannot find governing FrameworkElement or FrameworkContentElement.
I don't want to inherit item from FrameworkelElement because in the real project the class Item is inherited from another class.

What can I do to transfer the text from the textbox to the first item of the collection ?

Thanks in Advance
Willibert Stofel

Are there any benchmarks available for measuring general WPF performance on different systems?

Hi,

I currently would like to compare several test systems running WinXP and Win7 with different graphics hardware (onboard, dedicated, etc.), and therefor need some kind of WPF Benchmark application. I don't have a focus on specific WPF features at the moment, I just want to gain a general impression how each of these systems perform, i.e. how many "frames per second" they produce using different WPF GUIs.

Are there any benchmarking programs available? Which do you recommend?

Thanks alot.

Strange error occures after writting (seemingly) working piece of xaml code in a WPF application. IDE=Visual Studio 2010

Hi, All!
I'm having another major trouble. I have developed a control, that has some properties, but once I set binding to these properties, a strange error occures during the build. Visual Studio highlights an irrelevant string from the xaml code with green color.
here is a code sample which throws that error:
<a:SearchControl x:Name="SearchResult" SearchCriteria="{Binding ElementName=SearchCriteria, Path=Criteria}"/>
Note 2 things:
1) Code below builds fine
<a:SearchControl x:Name="SearchResult"/>

2) In an output window of VS, it is stated, that System.Unimplemented exception occurred in PresentationFramework.dll. Usually, such exception means, that requested method is not implemented, which is kinda odd, because this property is indeed implemented.

WPF - Popup moveable?

hello

I'm using sample from WPF Modal Dialog[^] to popup my WPF Modal dialog, problem is, the modal dialog is not movable, how may I correct this?

Here's code to embed the popup

<br />
<Popup<br />
                                Name="MyMessageModal" <br />
                                Placement="Top"<br />
                                PlacementTarget="{Binding ElementName=SomeFormElement}"<br />
                                Width="100px" <br />
                                Height="100px" <br />
                                IsOpen="False"<br />
                                StaysOpen="true" <br />
                                AllowsTransparency="True"<br />
                                Visibility="Collapsed"<br />
                                ><br />
                                    <StackPanel><br />
                                        <myctrl:MyMessageDialog x:Name="SomeEmbedMsgCtrl" ></myctrl:MyMessageDialog><br />
                                    </StackPanel><br />
                                </Popup><br />

And to actually show it,

<br />
MyMessageModal.IsOpen=true;<br />
MyMessageModal.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;<br />

Thanks

You could write your own code on the mouse up, mouse down and mouse move event of the popup.
Perform lienar transforms as the user drags the mouse holding the top part of the popup.

Visual State Manager - What's Wrong?

I'm using VS2010 and SL4. I have the following XAML, and I'm trying to implement visual state management, but it appears I don't understand how it works.

In this code, AFAIK, when you move your mouse over the ItemsControl, the background of the itemBorder (Border) changes to Yellow and itemContent (TextBox) foreground changes to Black. Both color change again when the state moves back to normal.

Filling out extent of margins.

I have a grid defined as

<Grid x:Name="CoordWPanel" Height="38" Margin="10,0,70,10" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" 
                        Background="#77000000" HorizontalAlignment="Left">

I want the background shade to cover the the bottom of the screen (less the margin area). But it always stops at the last control placed in the grid. The shading only goes halfway across the screen because that's how far the controls in the grid go. How can I get the grid to fill out the rest of the area in the margins?

Thanks.
