Thanks Wombaticus,

I will have a look see at that one and advise.

Thanks for your response,

I should have mentioned (apologies), that this is a windows service and/or desktop application and not a web-based application.

Hi,

I am not creating links/URLs and I know that that is the hex value for the space character. My issue is that I am downloading a file which has a space in it's name and when I do a file listing of the folder it is returned correctly (without the encoded/hex value), but when it saves the file with that file name it replaces it with the %20.

My question was how to mitigate this file name change without resorting to a helper method to change the file name back to spaces (after it has saved onto my local system).

Hi Richard,

Well this is embarrassing. I figured out what my issue was. It was the wrong hub name that I used to connect to the service *_drops head in shame_*.

For everyone out there, SignalR does NOT give you a nice error message when you give it the wrong hub name.

Thanks again Richard!

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your response.

Unless there is something wrong with my configuration / setup of my MVC app, I cannot get it to even connect to the service. I will update this response in about an hour or so (when I am busy with the code again) with the error message I receive. Basically it breaks when I try to connect to the service (where it works fine in the WPF application).

Your proposed solution got me to where my problem was... It was being set somewhere else and this caused the sizing to not take effect... Thanks so much!

Also what I have been working on is using a dynamic methods of generating the html... Do you have pointers on that?

Also, thought this was by default@ set the widths... My site stuff is built for the tool to just autamagicicaly work that out... I thought that was what it was about... I suppose we can't have everything... tis just strange...

If i have to do it like that then coo.... but still... sonds wierd... Either way... thank you so much for your time :)

another thing.. how is it that the form control works @ resizing on my other site but not this one..

hi Yvan,

If I remove/add the style the styles still do not change. What you are saying is that I should change my input field class style to that? I will adjust and let you know how this chance works out.

Hi Frederick,

The method you describe works well when searching across all boards (when no specific type is defined). I am looking at going onto a scenario described below to resolve my issue but your help also was invaluable in what I wanted to do. Thank you so much for your time and effort!!!

Hi Richard,

I have found a solution to my problem. It is a combination of what you provided to me as well as some adjustments I made. I will update accordingly when I am back at the office.

Once again, thank you so much for you time. It was invaluable!!!!

Hi Richard,

Maybe it's my version of .net... but it definitely needed that or else my code would not compile. When I added in that line, then it worked/compiled. bloody versioning!!! XD

Also, the logic I am using already works with int/decimal/double values that I will invoke based on the solution I will come up with from here :)... That in itself is the least of my problems :)

Hi Richard,

I didn't manage to finish my testing, but i did find that there was a missing ".OfType<expression>()" part before the .Aggregate line.

I am still testing and will keep you guys updating.

Thank you both SO much for your help!!!

Hi Frederik,

Thank you so much for your proposed solution. It does look promising, but I have some other issues to take into consideration (nested properties to name but a few). I am looking at both yours as well as Richard's solutions to work on something that might help me with my conundrum. I will be keeping both of you in the loop as what (combination) works best.

Thanks Richard,

This is more to what I am looking for. I will test this and report back.

Hi Fredrik,

Unfortunately, I have to use expression trees. I will have no control over what properties are going to be searched as they are not limited to strings. I just used strings in this case because that is what I am going to be implementing first with the other types following later.

Also, the search strings are *partial* matches of a given properties value and not a complete match of the property value.

Confuscious say... XD...

hehehe...

I understand your confusion :P ...

Thing is, I am not sure if I built up the project from a "WPF Browser Application" selection or the "WPF Application" option. Fact is, it is WPF (sorry for that). What I said I am not sure of (and is WPF in particular related) is that the different View options should be available, but it (from my side in this case) is not.

I will definitely have a look at your proposed solution, but the fact of the matter is, is that the other View types should be available for ListView. At least in my mind it should be XD.

Also, just to clarify I have built applications with both WPF and it's subsidiary Silverlight. The thing is, I have not worked with this type of application (using NavigationWindow basically) in this particular regard... Maybe I am doing something wrong... I don't know...

It's definitely not Silverlight... as mentioned this is something similar to the control panel in Windows... Yes it looks like WPF (and it probably is knowing my oversight of things), but the fact of the matter is that it should be not a case of having to build up something from the ViewBase in order to get the LargeIconView functionality... Does that make sense?

If I have to build it from the ViewBase, then I suppose that's what I'll have to do, but this is something that should not be needed and should already be built in?

Basically all I did this:
Create a WPF Application
Change MainWindow inherited class from Window to NavigationWindow

Then built the DataTemplate definitions for my model views. The minute I add System.Windows.Forms it 'breaks' (try it and you will see). The fact that both are ListView controls should mean that they should at least have these view types (or am I clutching at straws here?).

Thanks,
me

Hi,
I am not sure sure if this is related to WPF... since I am using NavigationWindow and am using DataTemplate definitions for the models. Basically when I put/ include System.Windows.Forms to the project it breaks in some strange way. this is what my XAML looks like:
<pre>
<resourcedictionary
="" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity" xmlns:ei="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactions" xmlns:acobjects="clr-namespace:MyNampespace.Models">
<datatemplate datatype="{x:Type acObjects:MainMenuModel}">
<grid verticalalignment="Stretch" horizontalalignment="Stretch">
<ListView >
<i:interaction.triggers>
<i:eventtrigger eventname="Loaded">
<ei:callmethodaction targetobject="{Binding}" methodname="menu_Loaded">


<ListView.View>
<gridview>
<gridviewcolumn header="Name">
<gridviewcolumn header="Description">

</ListView.View>
<Image/>
</ListView>



</pre>

As an offhand, I know that if it was a normal WPF app I can do this, but obviously something is different and I am not sure how to resolve this issue.

Thanks m8 :) Duly noted :D

my solution had nothing to do with my expression tree I was building. It was an issue totally unrelated to the question that I posted. I apologise that I didn't note that in my initial reply. I just didn't want people to think I still had the problem. :)

Glad to have helped :)
