This is not a Silverlight problem. In the web.config file, you need the following section:

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="nnn" />
  </system.web>
</configuration>

Set nnn to be the appropriate size in KB.

I am using Generic Handler for uploading content from my silverlight application.
I want to get notified as a file is uploaded successfully when multiple files are being uploaded to show a progress bar

It's with great pleasure that I announce the latest version of MoXAML Power Toys[^]. MoXAML now has the ability to translate your code from VB.NET to C# or vice versa, and to extract a user control directly from XAML.

Hi,
I have:
Class Persn with name and age props

class Manager with List<person> and event for any change occurs (name changed, person added to list etc.)

on the xaml.cs I have ObservableCollection with get to that list from manager. a listVier is bind to that observable

my problem is how to make the ui to refresh when that event of change is raised.

How can I implement that Observable and control the CollectionChanged?

thanks.

If u r using ObservableCollection & binded properly to the UI, then it will automatically refresh the UI thread as ObservableCollection automatically triggers INotifyPropertyChanged events.

So, no need to bother about it. Let me know, if you are facing any issue regarding the same...

(Please vote it as answer, if it helps you resolving the issue)

It sounds like you've got your ObservableCollection in the wrong place. You need to change the List in Manager into an ObservableCollection, so that add and delete events are raised appropriately. Basically, you've wrapped the List up in something that will never see the changes without you explicitly raising a notification, which seems to be a little bit pointless.

Silverlight - VectrolLight Tree View

I have load a large set of data from SQL Server into a three level tree. It is taking long time to populate the tree.

Is there a way (e.g. lazy loading) to load only few records first and then load the rest of the records so that the tree area doe not remain empty for a long time.

Pete O'Hanlon14-Aug-09 4:18

14-Aug-09 4:18

The normal way to do this is to load all the items at the level you are at, and then add a dummy item to the level below. Then, when you expand your treeview you check to see if the first node below is a dummy node - if so, you remove it and attempt to retrieve data from the database that's a child of the expanding item.

Have you tried using TreeView from Silverlight Toolkit? We can probably provide more helps if you are using Silverlight Toolkit.

Thanks.

GUI updations on socket callback

Hi Thanks for reply. Yes we tried the Silverlight tree, but results are not encouraging. We are only loading few hundred records and most of them are at first noode. It is still taking un-acceptable amount of time.

I have a silverlight application,that communicating and getting data through socket communication.At each Receive callback i want to get data and update in the GUI at the moment itself.In this case sending and receiving data asynchronously,but the delegate for GUI updation in action only after all receive callbacks.How can i execute GUI updations sequentially with each callback?

You can call another service after completing of first call.

For example:

service.Call1Completed += (sender, e) => {
//Update the UI.

service.Call2Completed += (srd,e1) => {
//Update the UI.

};
service.Call2Async();
};
service.Call1Async();

My scenario is like this.

SocketReceiveCallback(object sender, SocketAsyncEventArgs e )
{
// read data from e.Buffer.
if ( dataReceived == TotalDataSize ) // checks of the complete reception of one image
{
// update the GUI using the received data.
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine( “ received image “ );
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new DisplayImageDelgate(DislayImageData), imageData); // imageData is a class containing the received data

}
Else
{
// call socket.receiveAsync() to get next set of data.
}
}

private void DisplayImageData (MyImageData data)
{
if (data.ImageStream != null)
{

BitmapImage bmp = new BitmapImage();
bmp.SetSource(new MemoryStream(data.ImageStream));
myReceivedImageCtrl.Source = bmp; //GUI update should happen at this point.
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine( “ Draw image “ );

}

}

Please note that my application, there is continues async requests to server ( corresponding to user action ) and server responds with a stream of image data( eg:- 100 images. The application needs to update the GUI immediately after each image is received ( even while the server streams the data). In the above case although the SocketReceiveCallback is getting the data continuously from server, the GUI update happens only after all the data receive is completed( which can take a long time ).
It seems that although the DisplayImage function is invoked using BeginInvoke, the system actually executes the display function at a later stage, causing ‘jumping’ image displays
The debug trace obtained was:-

received image
received image
received image
received image
Draw image
Draw image
Draw image

Instead of the needed

received image
Draw image
received image
Draw image
received image
Draw image

What could be done?
Thanks and Regards
JS

You can create one List and add the image data on completed event. and call the draw before receiving all data.

Cancel rendering of a Control in Wpf

Dear all,

I've looked around to find an elegant solution to my problem, but not with a log of success... Sigh | :sigh:

I would like to prevent a control (custom label, custom button,...) from being rendered (drawn, painted.. ?) based on a condition (actually, a database linked security check)
but not by using the visibility or opacity properties as I would like to keep these properties freely usable by the users of the control in design mode.

I tried to override OnRender, passing a null drawingContext etc. but it doesn't work.

Does anyone have an idea how to do this ?

Thanks all!

You could always create an empty style for the control if necessary.

Apply a DataTrigger to apply this style based on your condition.
