I have a WPF that's branded four ways, say App1, App2, App3, and App4.
I change the name of the output assembly like this:
<AssemblyName Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release App1'">App1</AssemblyName>
<AssemblyName Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release App2'">App2</AssemblyName>
<AssemblyName Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release App3'">App3</AssemblyName>
<AssemblyName Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release App4'">App4</AssemblyName>
This results in the compiled assembly being named according to the brand.
I have images all over the app like this:
<Image x:Name="myImage"
Stretch="None"
Width="15"
Height="15"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Source="/App1;component/Images/My_Image.png" />
In some cases, in Release builds, the images fail to appear. From what I can see, in Release builds the source can't find the assembly name, so the image fails to load. I verified this by renaming all of the output assemblies in the <assemblyname> tags above to "App1" and it works.
So I've implemented code like this:
private BitmapImage _MyImage;
public BitmapImage MyImage
{
get { return _MyImage; }
set
{
if (_MyImage != value)
{
_MyImage = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("MyImage");
}
}
}
and
private void SetupBranding()
{
var imageFolder = "";
if BRAND_APP1
imageFolder = "App1";
elif BRAND_APP2
imageFolder = "App2";
elif BRAND_APP3
imageFolder = "App3";
elif BRAND_APP4
imageFolder = "App4";
<h1>endif</h1>
string assemblyName = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name;
var path = $"/{assemblyName};component/Images/Brand/{imageFolder}/My_Image.png";
MyImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(path, UriKind.Relative));
}
This seems to work fine, but I have do do this anywhere I want to use brand-specific images. I'm wondering of there's a better way? Is there a way to handle hard coded pack URI such has:
Source="/App1;component/Images/My_Image.png"
One other concern is that, while most of this is done in the Windows and Views, there are some URI's specified in styles.
Thanks

Good morning all,
been writing a little program that when you put a spotify playlist id in it will get the whole playlist
want the name and total songs in the playlist mainly so all songs in the playlist and then total count of all songs
with a bit of hard work managed to get it to deserialize the content but cant seem to get it to return that
what i have currently is this,
so it goes though and get as far as here,
json data returned from spotify api
put it in pastebin link as contains a lot of data
then thought i would use json2c#
to create my structure for me,
and have this in a playlist.cs

}
then when the item is searched it uses
search helper
and this is where it returns nothing
however the responce.Content returns all the values,
search helper
<pre>public static SpotifySearch.SpotifyResult SearchArtistOrSong(string searchword)
{
var client = new RestClient("https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists");
client.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", $"Bearer {token.access_token}");
var request = new RestRequest($"{searchword}", Method.Get);
var response = client.Execute(request);
if (response.IsSuccessful)
{
var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<SpotifySearch.SpotifyResult>(response.Content);
return result;
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
and the mainwindow.cs
<pre> private void elfentext_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
var result = SearchHelper.SearchArtistOrSong(elfentext.Text);
if (result == null)
{
return;
}
var listArtist = new List<SpotifySearch.PlaylistItem>();
if (result?.playlists?.items != null)
{
foreach (var item in result.playlists.items)
{
var images = item.images.Any() ? item.images : new List<SpotifySearch.ImageSP>();
listArtist.Add(new SpotifySearch.PlaylistItem()
{
external_urls = item.external_urls,
id = item.id,
name = item.name,
type = item.type,
images = images,
tracks = item.tracks,
uri = item.uri
});
}
}
elfenlist.ItemsSource = listArtist;
}
i managed to get artist working fine before but just playlist returns so much i just not quite sure what i am doing wrong any help would be so much appreciated
thanks in advance elfenliedtopfan5

You have asked this in a forum dedicated to WPF. Your post has nothing to do with this. You should ask this in Q&A.

Perhaps something is eating an exception?
Not clear how you determined that the response content is valid json.
You can also experiment (test) by populating everything in your json objects. Then serialize them to a string. Output that (so you have an example) then deserialize the same thing.

Hello!
I was wondering how to populate the multicombobox from the backend and not by user, from the parent control.
Scenario, I am using your code base (Multi Select ComboBox in WPF[^]) for user to save items to database.
I now want to allow the user to pull all the items previously selected to re-populate the multicombobox.
I have been trying but with no success.
Many thanks on any advise you can provide!

So I am continuing to work on my Navigation Control[^]. See this[^] and this[^]. The code is in this repo[^].
Special thanks to Richard Deeming for all your help so far. I've learned alot from you.
If you look at the image of the control in the first link above, you 'll see 3 sections, with the 3rd still loading. The expanders can be openend either by the user, or by saving & restoring a bool. On the NavigationPane control there's a DP called IsPaneExpanded. This get called with from the user or by the restoring during load.
When the control is being initialized I store the value of the DP.
Fields
private bool _isPaneExpanded = false;
private bool _isInitialized = false;
IsPaneExpanded DP
public static readonly DependencyProperty IsPaneExpandedProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("IsPaneExpanded",
typeof(bool),
typeof(NavigationPane),
new PropertyMetadata(false, new PropertyChangedCallback(OnIsPaneExpandedChanged)));
public bool IsPaneExpanded
{
get { return (bool)GetValue(IsPaneExpandedProperty); }
set { SetValue(IsPaneExpandedProperty, value); }
}
private static async void OnIsPaneExpandedChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var control = (NavigationPane)d;
if (!control._isInitialized)
{
control._isPaneExpanded = control.IsPaneExpanded;
control.IsPaneExpanded = false;
}
else
{
if (control.IsPaneExpanded)
{
await control.Load();
}
}
}
Then, once initialzation is complete, I check that to see if the control's expander should be expanded.
Problem 1
The problem above is that the _isPaneExpanded is always false by the time it gets here. It IS being set to True in the DP, yet once the code reaches this point, it's false, so the load never happens. Maybe it's because the DP is static and the field isn't?
Problem 2
Another issue I see - I'd like the expander to open visuall FIRST, then call load. The Expander's Expanded event fires AFTER it has opened, but BEFORE the user sees anything visually the load is firing. Nothing changes visually until AFTER the load is complete.
private async void NavigationPane_Initialized(object? sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (_isPaneExpanded) <==================================================== PROBLEM 1 HERE
{
<=============================== PROBLEM 2 HERE. HOW DO YOU FORCE THE EXPANDER TO SHOW AS OPEN BEFORE LOAD
await Load();
}
_isInitialized = true;
}
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Problem 1:
The change event for the IsPaneExpanded property sets the IsPaneExpanded property to false if _isInitialized is false. If the property has just changed to true, that will cause the change event to fire again. As a result, the _isPaneExpanded field will be set to true, then immediately set back to false.
Thankfully, WPF won't fire the event if the property is set to the same value; otherwise, you'd end up with infinite recursion.
It would probably be better to use a CoerceValueCallback[^] instead:
public static readonly DependencyProperty IsPaneExpandedProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("IsPaneExpanded",
typeof(bool),
typeof(NavigationPane),
new PropertyMetadata(
defaultValue: false,
propertyChangedCallback: new PropertyChangedCallback(OnIsPaneExpandedChanged),
coerceValueCallback: new CoerceValueCallback(CoerceIsPaneExpanded)
));
private static void OnIsPaneExpandedChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var control = (NavigationPane)d;
control._isPaneExpanded = (bool)e.NewValue;
control.CoerceValue(IsPaneExpandedProperty);
if (control._isInitialized && control._isPaneExpanded)
{
_ = control.Load();
}
}
private static object CoerceIsPaneExpanded(DependencyObject d, object baseValue)
{
var control = (NavigationPane)d;
return control._isInitialized ? baseValue : (object)false;
}
Problem 2:
You need to change the _isInitialized field, trigger the change event for the IsPaneExpanded property, then load the data.
private void NavigationPane_Initialized(object? sender, EventArgs e)
{
_isInitialized = true;
CoerceValue(IsPaneExpandedProperty);
if (_isPaneExpanded)
{
_ = Load();
}
}

Thanks, I understand the change you recommened, but it doesn't seem to change anything. I have two different issues. I beleive I solved the first one.
- The Projects pane should be expanded on startup BEFORE it loads so the user seees the wait indicator. This bit of code in the MainWindow simulates storing and resetting it from settings later on. if there was an ExpandedExpanded (past-tense) then I could call Load() from there.
Main Window.cs
NavigationPaneInfos = new List<NavigationPaneModel>
{
new NavigationPaneModel
{
Header = "Projects",
NavigationItemType = NavigationItemType.Project,
DataSource = Functional.Apply(Repository.GetNavigationItems, NavigationItemType.Project),
IsExpanded = true
},
new NavigationPaneModel
{
Header = "Inventory",
NavigationItemType = NavigationItemType.Inventory,
DataSource = Functional.Apply(Repository.GetNavigationItems, NavigationItemType.Inventory),
},
new NavigationPaneModel
{
Header = "Companies" ,
NavigationItemType = NavigationItemType.Company,
DataSource = Functional.Apply(Repository.GetNavigationItems, NavigationItemType.Company),
},
new NavigationPaneModel
{
Header = "Employees",
NavigationItemType = NavigationItemType.Employee,
DataSource = Functional.Apply(Repository.GetNavigationItems, NavigationItemType.Employee),
}
};
so, that caused this
private static object CoerceIsPaneExpanded(DependencyObject d, object baseValue)
{
var control = (NavigationPane)d;
var newVal = control._isInitialized ? baseValue : (object)false;
return newVal;
}
and
private void NavigationPane_Initialized(object? sender, EventArgs e)
{
_isInitialized = true;
CoerceValue(IsPaneExpandedProperty);
if (_isPaneExpanded)
{
_ = Load();
}
}
so, I added this, which correctly sets _isPaneExpanded based off the value set in the main window
private static async void OnNavigationPaneModelChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var control = (NavigationPane)d;
var model = e.NewValue as NavigationPaneModel;
if (model != null)
{
control._isPaneExpanded = model.IsExpanded;
}
}
This is where the UI is freezing up
private async Task Load()
{
if (NavigationPaneModel != null && NavigationPaneModel.DataSource != null)
{
var dataSource = NavigationPaneModel.DataSource();
List<NavigationEntity>? data = null;
if (dataSource != null)
{
data = await Task.Run(() => dataSource);
}
if (data != null)
{
Items = new ObservableCollection<NavigationEntity>(data);
}
}
}
so I tried this but....
private async Task Load()
{
if (NavigationPaneModel != null && NavigationPaneModel.DataSource != null)
{
List<NavigationEntity>? data = null;
await Task.Run(() =>
{
data = NavigationPaneModel.DataSource();
});
if (data != null)
{
Items = new ObservableCollection<NavigationEntity>(data);
}
}
}
So, it seems like all that's left is to get the backend call to fire async. The delegate was set in the UI using
NavigationPaneModel.DataSource = Functional.Apply(Repository.GetNavigationItems, NavigationItemType.Project)
How can I invoke the delegate async from Load()?
I checked my code into the repo.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

I have a CustomControl which contains another custom control. I want to bubble a click event from the Inner Control and handle it on the Window.
Even better, can I somehow bind to the inner control's ButtonClicked command in the Window's VM?
I found this two SO article. It's close, but it doesn't address custom events:

Handling an event higher up is "tunneling"; i.e. "Preview..." handlers.

Handling it "higher" up BEFORE it goes DOWN, is "tunneling".
The PARENT is the WINDOW ... and PREVIEW allows the PARENT to HANDLE the event before, or instead of, or in conjunction with ... the CHILD (i.e. the UC).
This is called TUNNELING.

Bubbling vs Tunneling[^]
Again, I'm trying to handle an event in the Window that was invoked in the nested child control. The event is defined as Bubbling, therefore it goes UP the UI stack

I have solved similar things before with the use of an attached behavior so you use that to bind the command to a property in the VM

Thanks. Do you have an example of that?

You will need to install the NuGet:
NuGet Gallery | Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf 1.1.39[^]
Then create a class like this one:
public class ButtonAttatchment:Behavior<Button>
{
protected override void OnAttached()
{
AssociatedObject.Click += AssociatedObject_Click;
}
protected override void OnDetaching()
{
AssociatedObject.Click -= AssociatedObject_Click;
}
private void AssociatedObject_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (AssociatedObject != null)
{
((ButtonAttatchment)sender).IsSpinning = !((ButtonAttatchment)sender).IsSpinning;
}
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty IsSpinningProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("IsSpinning", typeof(bool),typeof(ButtonAttatchment), new UIPropertyMetadata(false));
public bool IsSpinning
{
get => (bool)GetValue(IsSpinningProperty);
set => SetValue(IsSpinningProperty, value);
}
}
This basically creates a code-behind implementation that you could use to fix complicated binding issues.

The XAML code is like this:
<Window x:Class="WPF_Tunneling_AttatchedBehavior.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:behavior="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xaml/behaviors"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WPF_Tunneling_AttatchedBehavior"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
<StackPanel>
<Button Content="Test">
<behavior:Interaction.Behaviors>
<local:ButtonAttatchment x:Name="vm"/>
</behavior:Interaction.Behaviors>
</Button>
<TextBox Text="{Binding ElementName=vm,Path=IsSpinning}"></TextBox>
</StackPanel>
</Window>
And I made a slight mistake but Im sure you have figured it out by now:
private void AssociatedObject_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (AssociatedObject != null)
{
IsSpinning = !IsSpinning;
}
}

Thanks for the code, but I'm not sure if this solves my issue.
jFirst, see this image[^]. Second, see this[^]. It's almost what I want.
There's got to be a way to do this. I put a demo in this repo[^]. See the MainWIndow's XAML.

Ok, I don't really see what you are getting at but it can be solved extremley easy:
<Grid PreviewMouseDown="Grid_PreviewMouseDown">
<ctrls:OuterControl Background="Tan"
Height="225"
Width="300">
And
private void Grid_PreviewMouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
if (e.OriginalSource != null)
{
}
}

Referring to the first pic with all the nested controls, I have this Routed even deep inside MyNewControl
public static readonly RoutedEvent ItemSelectedEvent =
EventManager.RegisterRoutedEvent("ItemSelected",
RoutingStrategy.Tunnel,
typeof(RoutedEventHandler),
typeof(NavigationPane));
public event RoutedEventHandler ItemSelected
{
add { AddHandler(ItemSelectedEvent, value); }
remove { RemoveHandler(ItemSelectedEvent, value); }
}
private void RaiseItemSelectedEvent()
{
vars args = new SelectedItemEventArgs(ItemSelectedEvent, SelectedItem);
RaiseEvent(args);
}
How do I catch this event in the window? What is the syntax? Using some kind of Preview_... is going to catch a LOT of events. Is there no way to subscribe directly to that event from the Window?

I've got a listbox with expanders[^] in it.
The problem is that expander's header content is not stretched. I've tried all kinds of things, but I can't seem to get it. Here's the XAML
<Expander Padding="{Binding Padding, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
Margin="{Binding Margin, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
BorderBrush="{Binding BorderBrush, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
BorderThickness="{Binding BorderThickness, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
IsExpanded="{Binding IsPaneExpanded, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}">
<Expander.Header>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Header}"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Margin="1"/>
<Button Grid.Column="1"
Height="18"
Width="18"
Margin="0,1,1,1"/>
</Grid>
</Expander.Header>
<CONTENT REMOVED FOR BREVITY>
</Expander>
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
