To me it's assumed that you need a designer. Yes, XAML is nice & clean... and VERY time consuming. For anything other than a VERY simple report it would take all day to get laid out right.
I noticed on their site that someone asked for a designer. Nice idea for an add on to the project.
I can't see how any serious reporting can be done without a designer.

Hmmm. I'm not sure I agree here. I can churn out XAML at a phenomenal rate.

I can too. Don't get me wrong. I love XAML
But for every little tweak, you would need to stop, compile, run the report (meaning fire up your app, get to the report, run it - OOPS that label isn't aligned right!!!
Stop, open XAML, tweak, repeat.
With a designer it's one & done.

If the report is simple and you have already worked getting the data to a form, maybe just roll your own print routine to generate the report? See Printing in WPF[^] for example?

If you want a report designer then you could always look at SyncFusion reports[^]. I'm a big fan of SyncFusion now. They have worked hard on the performance of their WPF products, and this really shows.

It's not free, but we've had a lot of success with DevExpress' XtraReports package[^]. One very nice thing about it is that you can use the same report in WinForms, WPF and ASP.NET contexts (Silverlight too... but who needs that any more?!).

Richard

I'm trying to display a custom tooltip for Tree Nodes
I created this resource:
<ToolTip x:Key="treeItemToolTip"
DataContext="{Binding Path=PlacementTarget,RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}}">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Text="Revision:"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="1"
Text="{Binding RevisionNumber}"/>
</Grid>
</ToolTip>
then in my Tree I have
<controls:TreeViewEx BorderThickness="0"
Margin="5"
ItemsSource="{Binding Nodes}"
IsManipulationEnabled ="True"
Visibility="{Binding ShowTree, Converter={StaticResource visibilityConverter}}"
ToolTip="{StaticResource treeItemToolTip}">
</controls:TreeViewEx>
Yet when I run it, the Output window tells me that the tooltip can't find it's data on the TREEVIEW, not the nodes.
The data for the tooltip is on each node. How do I correctly bind the Tooltip to the node's data?

You are setting the tooltip on the tree itself. You want to set it on the items.
|
|
|
|
|
Ok, I see. How do I point it to the item instead?

Put it in your TreeViewItem style. If you don't have one, just create one with a single setter.
<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{StaticResource treeItemToolTip}" />

Hi guys,
I am new to WPF and I have a question about dynamic tab generation with tab control.
I would like to build template pages that would be called into a new tab of a tab control and bind its content to DB. For instance, I want to load an invoice from a list. It creates a tab, fills it with the invoice display page (frame?) and populates it with the info. If I go back to my list and load another invoice, it loads a second instance of my invoice display page into a new tab and populates it with the new invoice.
Is dynamic tab generation with the WPF tab control + frames the right way to go?
Thanks
|

|
|
|
Certainly adding the invoices to dynamic tabs would be reasonably straightforward. I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the Frame though.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for answering. I have found the frame control to be cited as the means to load pages within another. Should I understand that this control is not required to load a specific xaml dynamically within the tab control?
|
|
|
|
|
That's correct. You're mixing modes here - the Frame control is typically used in Page based applications.

I'm not aware of performance issues - but it really depends what you're trying to do. The big drawback with Silverlight is that it relies on a plugin - and this plugin isn't available on platforms like iOS or even the WinRT. This means you can't target it for use with applications that run on these platforms.

I am working on a User Control. The DataContext of the control is the code behind. There is no ViewModel. All the code is in the code behind.
The problem:
I have a bool DP called ShowTimes that controls whether or not a column should be visible.
Here's the column
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="From"
IsReadOnly="True"
DataMemberBinding="{Binding StartDT, StringFormat='{}{0:yyyy/MM/dd h:mm}'}"
IsVisible="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type UserControl},Mode=FindAncestor},Path=DataContext.ShowTimes}"
Width="150"/>
When I run it the Output window says that it can't find the property ShowTimes on the VM that the User Control is on.
how do I bind the IsVisible to the code begind?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Do you actually need all the direction detail on the binding, I would think the code behind is the datacontext for the UC and a simple binding to the property should suffice. Obviously I have not tried this
