I've checked and the two settings have the default values you specified.
Up to now I don't understand what's going on.

Thank you all for your replies.
I have set the property Copy To Output Directory to Always Copy.
And everything seems now to be in order.
thank you for your support.

Would you not be better off creating a style element:
<GroupBox Grid.Row="4" Header="Test" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
<GroupBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="GroupBox">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource myNewBrush}"/>
</Style>
</GroupBox.Style>
<Button Grid.Row="0" Name="_buttonPressMe" Content="Press me!" Click="_buttonPressMe_Click" Width="80"/>
</GroupBox>
Obviously the layout in the above is rubbish, but the background is set correctly. I tested this in a demo app and it ran fine.

Or like this:
<GroupBox Grid.Row="4" Header="Test" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Background="{StaticResource myNewBrush}">
<Button Grid.Row="0" Name="_buttonPressMe" Content="Press me!" Click="_buttonPressMe_Click" Width="80"/>
</GroupBox>

Thank you for your reply Leif,
But it doesn't seem to work neither. unfortunately ...

Then as Pete suggests, it must be your image and its settings, or the way you specified your image in the xaml.

For those familiar with them, TVPs are a great way to reduce the number of calls to the database and improve performance. I use them to great effect in the MVC web app using the general technique below. In the stored procedure I use a cursor to iterate through the rows and do all the db stuff in one whack.
I copied the same routines to a WPF app I'm doing, however, and it flames out calling the proc. I've since deleted it and gone the multiple calls route so I don't remember the precise error message but in general it was barking about not liking the parameters.
I'm on the same box, same version of VS, etc. and literally copied and pasted my routines. Works in MVC, no joy in WPF.
Have any of you successfully used table value parameters in a WPF app, and if so, is there a trick I'm missing?
DataTable tvp = new DataTable();
tvp.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Id", Type.GetType("System.Int32")));
tvp.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("RowIdx", Type.GetType("System.Int32")));
tvp.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("ParentId", Type.GetType("System.Int32")));
tvp.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("MemberId", Type.GetType("System.Int32")));
DataRow row = null;
int iRowIdx = 0;
foreach (int iId in Ids)
{
row = tvp.NewRow();
row["Id"] = 0;
row["RowIdx"] = iRowIdx++;
row["ParentId"] = iListId;
row["MemberId"] = iId;
tvp.Rows.Add(row);
}
...
Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Entries", tvp);
...
ExecuteNonQuery(), etc.
Thanks!

ADO.NET is ADO.NET; there's no difference whether you're calling it from ASP.NET, WPF, or a console application.
If it works in your ASP.NET application, but not in your WPF application, then there's a difference in the code which you haven't shown. For example, verify that Command is a SqlCommand instance, and not some other type.
NB: You can replace your Type.GetType calls with the typeof keyword[^]:
tvp.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Id", typeof(int)));

Hey, Richard.
Appreciate the feedback. Yeah, that was my take on it as well - ADO.NET should be ADO.NET. However, after a few decades of dealing with MS technologies, I never take that as gospel.
When I get some time I'm going to try it again as the performance difference is significant, but I eyeballed the code pretty intensely and am as sure as I ever am about such things that it was the same in both environments. I hope to be wrong about that because otherwise I'm out of ideas.
Do you use TVPs in your ADO.NET apps?

Yes, although I tend to use the IEnumerable<SqlDataRecord> approach, rather than a DataTable.
private static IEnumerable<SqlDataRecord> AsTableValuedParameter(IEnumerable<string> value)
{
var record = new SqlDataRecord(new SqlMetaData("Value", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 0x100));
foreach (string item in value)
{
record.SetValue(0, item);
yield return record;
}
}
...
IEnumerable<string> roleNames = ...;
var parameter = command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RoleNames", AsTableValuedParameter(roleNames));
parameter.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Structured;

That's a nice approach. The DataTable was from an example I found on TVPs. I was focused on making the db interaction worked and never thought to convert it to something more elegant. Deadlines and all that.
I'm going to take another swing at this today. Hopefully I just fat fingered something when I cloned the MVC code I was using. Appreciate all the help.

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.

Not that I'm aware of.

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!

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
