Disable item virtualization by adding VirtualizingStackPanel.IsVirtualizing="False" to the ListViews XAML, although if your going too be dealing with 100s of items you might want to look for a different solution.

That did the trick. I have to ask though, why would I need to look for a different solution than the ListView for item counts greater than 100? What is the problem?

That piece of code disables item virtualization which improves performance by only creating the items that are visible and regenerating them as you scroll. See MSDN.
Heres an altered version of that method that worked with virtualization enabled. It uses a method which was added in .NET 3.5 but Im guessing your using that as otherwise the sample would have probably worked.
public static FrameworkElement GetItemContainer(ItemsControl itemsControl, Visual bottomMostVisual)
{
return itemsControl.ContainerFromElement(bottomMostVisual) as FrameworkElement;
}
You can see the effects by trying with and without virtualization if you add more iterations to your loop which adds the pictures. At 200 there was a noticable pause when it was disabled.

Hi I am in the middle of creating my 1st proper application and after just toying about with wpf for the last couple days.
I have once class called AccessDb.cs which hold various DB functions
and the Window1.xaml and cs
in accessdb , i have some code to open a database extract data via a datareader and I want to add this on the fly(no data binding) to a combobox in xaml in windows1.
How to you access elements in window1 from another class?
i.e window1.combobox1.items.add(datareader[manufacturers].tostring())
Thanks, such a noob question
oops im using c#

All you have to do in the other class is pass in a reference to Window1.
So, for example, one way to do this is to declare a method in your other class that gets a reference to a Window1 object:
public void GetWindowReference(Window1 theWindow)
{
}
Then, in Window1 you can just code:
OtherClass myOtherClass = new OtherClass();
myOtherClass.GetWindowReference(this);
Then you can do what you will with with Window1.
Let me know if that helps; you need more information; or want to try another method.

Ah Thanks , I a bit noob on the basics, that has helped me heaps. owe you a crate of beer , cheers

When you extract your data, put it into a well defined class. For instance, if you were reading in an animals structure, you might have a class that looks like this:
public class Animal
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}Create an observable collection that wraps the animals and populate it with your data reader. [Hint - you might want to use my RangeObservableCollection[^] class in place of the ObservableCollection because it's better suited for bulk loading information into without firing off the notification events]. Then, bind this to your DataContext and use WPF databinding to bind the combobox to this. I know this seems to be a lot, but it's not as bad as it sounds and there are plenty of examples on this.
|
|
|
|
|
Indeed, I was going to recommend an observable collection; but he said he did not want any databinding.
Come to think of it; why do you not want databinding? Just curious.

Haven't got round to learning databinding yet, just trying a few simple things with basics.
when i tried the solution above i get
Error 1 'BikeMaint.Modules.AccessDB.GetBikesAlreadyStored(BikeMaint.Window1)' is inaccessible due to its protection level G:\Programming\Projects\bikemaint\Window1.xaml.cs 103 18 BikeMaint
?
|
|

|

It means that the method GetBikesAlreadyStored isn't declared as public or internal (assuming it's all in the same assembly) so it can't be accessed by an object outside its class. You've probably got it declared as private or protected (or without a scope identifier at all).

Hello,
Silverlight is using smaller version of CLR which is totally different from .NET CLR. So, the assembly which is complied using Silverlight CLR and the .NET assembly are not binary compatible. That's why you can't reference .NET dll in Silverlight project.
You will need to re-compile your sourcecode with Silverlight CLR if you want to add the reference in Silverlight.
All you need to do is that create Silverlight Class Library and copy all of your code from your project to new Silverlight Class Library project and try to build it again. There are a lot of namespaces that are not supported in Silverlight so that you have to find the workaround for them. Once you can successfully compile the project, you will get the assembly that you can reference in Silverlight.
Hope it helps.

Hi All,
This is only slightly related to WPF really. I'm currently overhauling my personal web site and I'm including lots of code bits (C# & XAML).
The problem is, I'm having troubles finding decent syntax highlighting stuff that does C# and XAML to an acceptable standard. The site is php/html/javascript so I can't use any nice asp.net stuff ... boo!
Any one have any ideas?
The syntax highlighters I've found so far are ok, but XAML highlighted as XML just doesn't cut it imho ...
Cheers,
|

I cheat on my blog, I post screenshots of the code.

|

tut tut Peter ... 
To be honest, over the last couple of years I've lost track of the number of Syntax Highlighters I've tried and frankly I've not been completely satisfied with any of them ...
XAML is completely unrepresented at the moment as far as I can tell.

Too true. That's why I use screenshots (btw - that's how Josh and Karl do it as well).

It looks good. I'm playing round with a Silverlight code control as a bit of fun. So far, it's been pretty good fun.

I so want to move my hosting so that I can use .NET on my site!

Notepad++ (free) highlights pretty well and you can export in HTML.

Good grief! I use Notepad++ all the time ... never noticed that!!!! Off to have a rummage ...
Thanks!

Heh. After I posted I noticed you stated XML highlighting wasn't acceptable,
so you may not like it

Well, really that's just me being anal about it. I just wanna have XAML snippets on my site in the exact format one gets used to viewing it on screen. I actually find code more difficult to read if the highlighting is wrong than with no highlighting at all!
