Silverlight's DataForm
seems great. I see a ton of documentation for it in SL3, but not so much in SL4.
This tutorial is about SL4, but has way more XAML than I'd like to write, particularly given that DataForm
is supposed to do all that for you.
I've also been following along with this video, but he loses me when he references the System.Windows.Controls.Data.DataForm
assembly. For me, that doesn't work:
Assembly 'System.Windows.Controls.Data.DataForm' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference. Also, verify that your project and all referenced assemblies have been built.
Am I doing something wrong here? I can't find a System.Windows.Controls.Data.DataForm
assembly to which to add a reference. Did it get moved from SL3 to SL4?
Frustratingly, I can't seem to find official DataForm
documentation on MSDN.
UPDATE: I found a list of controls on MSDN. It doesn't include DataForm
. Does that mean it's gone?
UPDATE 2: I created two projects in Expression Blend, one in SL3 and the other in SL4. I can't find DataForm
as a control for either. For shame.
