Well, apparently the fingers are indeed fat. Tried again this morning and it worked without a fuss.
Still using DataTable approach at this point. MS says SqlDataRecord is resource abusive and recommends not creating a new one but reusing a single instance. That aside, are there any benefits to the enumerable approach over populating a data table?

Which is why I was doing that in the sample I posted.

My bad. Looked like you were allocating a new SqlDataRecord each time but I'm in the US and thus still trying to get my eyes to focus this morning. Need. More. Coffee.

I have a grid with two expanders in it. See this and this
When I resize the window and make it smaller, the tree's scrollbar does not come on. See this
When I set the Row Definitions to
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
I get this.
When I resize the window smaller the tree resizes correctly so the scrollbar now shows. Here
The problem is that now the expanders are separated instead of stacked.
Here is the XAML - It's a lot, so bear with me I'm desperate!!

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

Most of the time, you want "Auto", not "*".
When you use "*", it is typically for the most dynamic / expandable row and / or column; or it is used to take up extra slack "in the container".
When you use more than one "*"; you are asking for rows / columns of proportionally the same size.
If the container is 100, and your "Auto" is 10, then if you have two "*"; you will get "2 of 45".
Also, starting a window "maximized", can affect the proper working of scrollbars; starting it resizable first can help.
And "center" alignment versus stretch will also play a part; while stack panels typically don't "stretch".
And grids-within-grids requires careful planning because one "wrong" Auto or "*", will throw everything "off".

Hello.
I am writing code Highlight Searched Text with ListView in WPF.
The problem is that when I search a specific word, only match words in the screen visible are hightlighted but the other words in
listviewItems that should be highlighted which are located in the bottom of the listview are not highlighted.
After I run the program and I scroll down manually to the bottom in the list view and when I search the word, then it works well.
What I have tried:
To solve the problem, I added the code like below. Listview scrolls down and up properly like I intented to but the listItems does not highlight still.
// scroll to bottom for the list to make sure every item is in the view
if (listview.Items.Count > 1) listview.ScrollIntoView(listview.Items[listview.Items.Count - 1]);
// scroll back to top to make sure everything looks correct
if (listview.Items.Count > 1) listview.ScrollIntoView(listview.Items[0]);

You're making assumptions based on things you cannot "see".
It's not even confirmed that you are actually "selecting words" at the "bottom"; since you cannot "see" them.
And I've never heard "selected words" used in the context of a listview.
(Is "MultiSelect" on?)

We have some code which receives images of a document from a C++ DLL, and displays them in a WPF application. The C# code stores the images in an array, which it flushes each time a new document is placed on the scanner. The code converts the image from a Bitmap to a BitmapImage, which is the image type for display in WPF:
private BitmapImage CreateBitmapImage(Bitmap bitmap)
{
using (MemoryStream memory = new MemoryStream())
{
bitmap.Save(memory, ImageFormat.Bmp);
memory.Position = 0;
BitmapImage bitmapimage = new BitmapImage();
bitmapimage.BeginInit();
bitmapimage.StreamSource = memory;
bitmapimage.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad;
bitmapimage.EndInit();
bitmapimage.Freeze();
return bitmapimage;
}
}
The above code leaks, but only on some PCs. On most it is okay. It can be fine on one Windows 10 PC, and leak on another that has Windows 10 on the same hardware.
A key point to note is that the DLL module is also passing the bitmap handle to a third party validation DLL, and if we remove that DLL, the memory leak disappears.
If I remove the Freeze() call, the code does not leak, but the images are not displayed.
If I comment out the return call, and return null instead, the code still leaks. Therefore the issue is not that we do not clear the stored images.
That this only occurs on some PCs, might suggest a timing issue associated with the validation DLL.
Thoughts?
Note: Edited to correct the code. For some reason I'd copied it with a key line missing!

Are all machines running exactly the same version of .Net?

As previously suggested, check the .NET versions on the machines; there have been a few issues that vary by version.
I would probably try moving the creation of the BitmapImage outside of the using block, or try some garbage collection routines, or object disposal to see what kind of response you get from what methods

First you must ensure that your code in itself is bug free.

If I simply discard the BitmapImage created by the quoted code, rather than saving it, the memory leak is present.

You're trying to create an image from an "empty" memory stream; key statement missing:
bitmap.Save( memory, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp );

Thanks for spotting that, it actually isn't missing in our code, but it is missing from the sample I pasted here. Ooops. Sorry about that.

Then maybe you're also running "different" versions of the app ...
(I like to put the version # in the title bar).

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts. It appears to be unrelated to the version of .Net.
I found the source for MemoryStream and the Dispose method does NOT set the buffer reference to null. I tried assigning a static buffer to the MemoryStream instance instead of allowing it to allocate its own buffer but that caused a crash.
I created test WPF and WinForms apps and the results are bizarre.
We have a small C# class - VideoOCRWrapper - which drives an attached OCR document scanner. It essentially makes calls to a C++ DLL, and has a callback which receives a IntPtr containing a HWND. On receipt of a bitmap, it converts it to a BitmapImage and fires an event to provide a client with the BitmapImage isntance.
I created a WinForms app, which initialises VideoOCRWrapper and displays the received bitmap. It has converts the BitmapImage to a Bitmap for display.It shows no memory leaks.
I created a WPF app, which initialises VideoOCRWrapper and displays the received bitmap. It shows a huge memory leak consistent with the bitmap buffer leaking.
The two apps use almost the same code, except that the WinForms overrides the form's WndProc, whereas the WPF app hooks its own WndProc onto the main window.
I memory profiled the WPF test app, and it said that "22 types have instances that are queued for finalization. This can indicate that a Finalizer method is stuck, which will prevent instances from being finalized and cause memory leaks.".
There is an extra factor. We use a third party DLL for document verification, which receives bitmaps from us. If I remove that DLL, our code shows no leaks. If I add that DLL, we have leaks but only when running our WPF test app, or our WPF application. When running the WinForms test app, we have no leaks.

I am working on a WPF application handling lists too long to fit in the window, so it needs a scroll bar. But elements of the list (a vertical stack panel) may flash up indicators that preferably should be acted on without too much delay; they should not be outside the window.
So I imagine a modified scrollbar mechanisms: A certain fraction of the contents is displayed in normal size (or even normal++, for those of us who are not as young as we used to be). Lines above or below this area is gradually reduced in size, so that more of them would fit above/below the "reading zone" of the window (with the attention indicators visible), without scrolling out. The reading zone would be somewhat like a cylinder lens, except with a central flat area of constant magnification.
Preferably, the size falloff outside the reading zone should be configurable, as well as the fraction of the window making up the reading zone. It would also be nice if it could be applied to columns of a table one-by-one, so that the columns remain straight from top to bottom, even though the cell contents is reduced in size.
I tried to google for 'cylinder lens scrollbar', without much success. Has anyone around here seen such a scrolling mechanism? Do you have hits for other google terms? Or should I just sit down and start implementing it myself?
(I suspect that my implmentation would be too much tailored to my specific needs at the moment; if there is anything like this out in the wild, it is probably of far more general use!)

You want "dynamic" font sizes relatived to the position of an item in the "view port".
Nothing really to do with "scroll bars" per se.
You need "code behind" to assign "font sizes" to each item (e.g. user control) in your observable collection based on your view port and item position.
Or, create a fixed set of "panes", of different font size; and "pass" items through them. Simulates a list and probably easier to grok.
(Or use a vertical "carousel" control).

That is one way to describe it. But also non-text, like check boxes etc. should be scaled down.
Gerry Schmitz wrote: Nothing really to do with "scroll bars" per se.
Except the way you use it, and handle it. By moving the slider at the right side of the window, you pull up and down not the text within the entire window, but the text within the reading area. The implementation will not have much in common with the standard scrollbar, but the use will.
Yes, for my specific application, I could write class specific code behind that will probably not be useful to any other application. My hope was that someone had created a more general solution. (If you are lucky, that "someone" may be myself during the next couple weeks )

I have been up almost all night reading on this subject. I have my main ViewModel (ShellViewModel), when the user selects a button a new window opens for the user to type something and a file chooser to select the file to read.
All I want to do is pass the Text typed in and the file path (as a string) back to the main view model for processing.
I believe I understand the concept of using EventAggregator to pass an event containing the data I want from the second window to the first. My problem is all the examples are showing the main VM creating two separate VM and the data is passed between the two individual VM's.
My ShellViewModel has the following method when the button is selected (I know using WindowManager in this fashion is not "best practice", but works for now:
public void LoadSchedule()
{
WindowManager windowManager = new WindowManager();
SelSchedViewModel vm = new SelSchedViewModel();
windowManager.ShowDialog(vm);
}
I have added a Handle to the ShellViewModel as well as Implimented "IHandle<scheduleinfo>"
Handle Code in ShellViewModel:
public void Handle(ScheduleInfo message)
{
ScheduleName = message.ScheduleName;
FileInfo = message.FileLocation;
}
I have created the class "SheduleInfo" to hold the data for the event
public class ScheduleInfo
{
public string ScheduleName
{
get;
private set;
}
public string FileLocation
{
get;
private set;
}
public ScheduleInfo(string SN, string FL)
{
ScheduleName = SN;
FileLocation = FL;
}
}
SheduleName and FileLocation have been added to ShellViewModel:
public string ScheduleName
{
get { return _scheduleName; }
set {
_scheduleName = value;
NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => ScheduleName);
}
}
public string FileInfo
{
get { return _fileInfo; }
set {
_fileInfo = value;
NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => FileInfo);
}
}
The second window "SelSchedViewModel" has a load button that when text is written in the text box and a file has been selected, is supposed to pass that data back and close this windows.
I am stuck on how to set up the SelShedViewModel to send the data back and how to properly initialize EventAggregator in the ShellViewModel and in the second view model. All the tutorials I found use the constructor of the receiving View Model (I tried) adding below to my ShellViewModel but I cant access "events"
public ShellViewModel()
{
IEventAggregator events = new EventAggregator();
}
I was thinking I need to move below to the ShellViewModel constructor and just use Windows Manager to call it, adding the "events" (will try this in a bit):
SelSchedViewModel vm = new SelSchedViewModel(events);
I don't know why this concept is confusing me so much. I have made the entire project public on gitHub for now. Any help would be appreciated.
And if y'all (yes I live in Texas) want to supply constructive criticism on my project be my guess. Remember the project was private until no so the commit messages were intended for me and might be a little rough 
[Link to my project on GitHub]
BTW, I am self-learning so I am looking for help to get this done not for anyone to do it for me. This project is a tool I want to use to make one of my normal day to day operations quicker at work, this is not a "for sale" project.
Thank You all for the help! Sorry for the length (here's a potatoe[some might get this old comment] - stress enduced humor)
