Started a pet project last weekend. I want to have a wizard control which just sucks up user controls and displays them in a given order with a given title in the side bar. I know something like that alread does exist on CP, but I
1) Want to make one on my own. My time, don't tell me what to do with it 
2) I'm not sure how good the existing one supports page validation.
Anyways, I was debugging the first (very raw) build, and for some reason just the first item in the TOC was showing a title:
WizardViewModel model = new WizardViewModel();
model.WizardTitle = "Test";
model.WizardDescription = "Ein schlecht gestylter Beispiel-Wizard.";
WizardStepViewModel stepmodel = new WizardStepViewModel();
stepmodel.Name = "Willkommen";
stepmodel.Content = new Testdata.WelcomeScreen();
WizardStepViewModel stepmodel2 = new WizardStepViewModel();
stepmodel.Name = "Wizard-Zeug";
stepmodel.Content = new Testdata.TestUserControl2();
WizardStepViewModel stepmodel3 = new WizardStepViewModel();
stepmodel.Name = "Zusammenfassung";
stepmodel.Content = new Testdata.EndUserControl();
model.WizardSteps = new List<WizardStepViewModel>() { stepmodel, stepmodel2, stepmodel3 };
WizardControl.View.WizardControl ctrl = new View.WizardControl(model);
this.MainGrid.Children.Add(ctrl);
You see why, don't ya.

D'oh indeed. But surely it's just Zusammenfassung that's showing. It's to avoid this type of issue I would normally do something like this:
private WizardStepViewModel GetModel<TModel>(string name) where T : class, new()
{
return new WizardStepViewModel { Name = name, Content = new TModel() };
}

Something like this surely happened to anyone at some point 
But I have a suggestion for you:
WizardStepViewModel stepmodel = new WizardStepViewModel()
{
Name = "Willkommen",
Content = new Testdata.WelcomeScreen()
};

I usually use this, but since it was just write once, run once test code I frankly didn't care at the moment of writing.

Guess so. Usually, at work, R# handles stuff like that for me. Unfortunately said code was written at home, with VS Community 15, and no R#. Software makes us dumb.

1, 2, 3, oops.
I must say though, it occurs to me that sometimes the MVVM pattern is a bit, well, over the top. When something like (pseudo-codish):
Items items = new Items[] {new Item("foo", control), ...etc...};
MainGrid.Children.Add(items);
where you override Item.ToString() with Item.Name ?
BTW, I loathe this. syntax. It's so Visual Basic, I, Me, Me, Mine

I wrote the code on my home PC (which VS Community 2015). The IntelliSense only seems to work if I put this, and I did not really care since it is test code only. (Not test as in Unit-Test, but as in "Test I only want to do to see if it works).

WizardViewModel model = new WizardViewModel(
WizardTitle: "Test",
WizardDescription: "Ein schlecht gestylter Beispiel-Wizard.",
new WizardStepViewModel("Willkommen", new Testdata.WelcomeScreen()),
new WizardStepViewModel("Wizard-Zeug", new Testdata.TestUserControl2()),
new WizardStepViewModel("Zusammenfassung", new Testdata.EndUserControl()));Assuming:
public class WizardViewModel(string title, string description, params WizardStepViewModel[] stepviews) { ... }I note that you, as author, made the same choice that L. Frank Baum made in "Wizard of Oz:" the WizardControl makes a dramatic appearance from nowhere at the end of the novel.
And, nice touch with the suggestion of recursion: WizardControl.View.WizardControl : I assume that's the way things go down in MVVM-land.
But, don't let this (deliberately ... perceived by you as playful, I hope) capricious intrusion distract you from the enjoying the current flavour of your omnipotence ... after all, isn't it that taste that makes the drudgery ... of having to behave like robots to get other robots to (kind of) half-do our bidding at the expense of art and grace, and with the cost of our wallowing in endless minutiae ... worthwhile ?

I had to laugh when I saw this: many, many, many years ago I came up with the idea of "Skiddies" - underwear inserts to stop bottom burps from whiffing up the place and, well, you know, stop those awful skid marks that other people get. The advert would have been to the tune of "Skippy, Skippy, Skippy the bush kangaroo".
It was never meant to be very serious but it looks like someone has stolen my amazing idea! Time to call my lawyer...

The guy sent me a block diagram.
He did it in Altium.
He output it to PDF.
(Totally me guessing, but I do see Altium's logo on the document)
I wish I could import that from that PDF file (single page PDF file) into my LibreOffice Impress presentation which I am doing.
I tried the "Insert" menu with "Object" and climbing down the tree to PDF files, but doing so resulted in a non responsive LibreOffice Impress. [[Edit/Update: so stuck that I had to use the task manager to end the app.]]
For now, it looks like I'm going to have to do screen caps.
Better ideas are welcome.

Try opening the PDF via LibreDraw -> Copy -> Paste -> ??? -> Profit

Nice Brain ! Thank you !
I didn't know it could do that.
Not only that, but, ALT-File-Export---> and Ta-Da ! ---> I have an SVG file
That's even better than my original scheme.
Voting for you.

I hear a lot about how great ReSharper is and would love to try it out some time. I love Visual Studio, but I develop Ionic (hybrid apps). Visual Studio has great Cordova support, and ReSharper seems to have TypeScript / JavaScript support, but would it be worth it if I do mainly this. Will I miss out on most of it's features?

You could contact ReSharper and get a definitive answer. You could try their message boards, too.
I love ReSharper, but don't know about its use with hybrid apps.

Never hurts to look around and see what other folks are doing, what problems they are having recently with the tools/context you are considering: [^], [^].
I can't imagine not having ReSharper working for me (note that I'm not doing cross-platform yogic contortions); I consider it the single best tool for programming I have ever seen ... and I go way ... way ... back to when you, James, were not even a concept, let alone a conception 
cheers, Bill

I mentioned a while back that I would be doing a app development competition against a bunch of other high school students. Well today was the day I presented my app at the state conference. After networking with all my competitiors and seeing their apps. My team and I were confident that we could make it to the nationals from state and were really excited. We have a really nice Ionic app, that seemed to look better than many others. (I fell special being the only hybrid developer ) On the website, we were told we would have ethernet and HDMI access, but when we got to the room, all we were provided with was some ancient projector and tried to use an HDMI to VGA converter, that did not want to work with my friends MacBook Pro. After struggling for a few minutes, we explained to the judges what was going on and they agreed to allow us to present it on his Mac (oh boy). Our presentation turned out well (at least for not having our notes), and my team still feels like we have a chance, but I fell like we just went from top three material at state to maybe fifth place.
Anyway, I am now anxiously awaiting tomorrow to see what goes on. Hopefully, we don;t get knocked for this stupid issue, but we'll see.

You have learnt an important lesson, Grasshopper. Never trust a third party's resources list. Better to take your own and find they are not needed than to not and find they are!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Best wished, James !

Win, Lose, Or Draw, think about this....
How many high school students today, when they are thirty something, will ever have the foresight to think something like this through, ahead of time, when they are presenting something to, say, a thirty billion dollar company's executive board for their first shot at selling them their stuff ?
Answer: One. You.
