Is it possible to enumerate all the input controls in the codebehind of a silverlight user control? For example, say you wanted to perform a form submission behind the scenes to another service. You would need to send a POST which included all of the inputs contained on your silverlight page. ...
So I want to get some data on the server side using OracleClient. Something like OracleDataReader rdr = OracleDataAccess.ExecuteReader(Conn, sQry); What is the best way to deliver this data to Silverlight? I set up a web service I just don't know the best data structure to package the result set. The silverlight CLR can not use the Or...
Not wanting to enter into the debate of wiring up event handlers in code or in XAML, sufice it to say, that I seem to recall there was a kind of "tab to create" feature in the XAML editor for silverlight projects. Clearly it's been a while since I have been codeing XAML, but I was sure it was a simple process of adding an event handler ...
Lets say I have a custom data type that looks something like this: public class MyDataType { public string SimpleProp1; public string SimpleProp2; public List<SomeType> ComplexProp; } now I hava a data bound control (i.e. ItemsControl or DataGrid), that is created dynamically. How would the binding defined in xaml code look like...

Hello, I got a dataform partially working with RIA services (I can fetch and edit data). The problem is that I added validation to my RIA service fields. Ex: from my metadata.cs file [StringLength ( 50, ErrorMessage= "bad data dude!" , MinimumLength=4)] public string Title; In the dataform, when a user enters data violating the abov...
I have a small usercontrol that basically increments or decrements a value by one. The user control has two buttons(one to add and the other to subtract) and a textBlock that is used to display the value. I am going to have multiple instance of this usercontrol in another usercontrol so I can manipulate values of a dataclass that has an...
Hi All, I'm having a problem with IE only in my Silverlight application. Since Silverlight 2 doesn't include a mechanism for file downloads I was left to my own devices to come up with a solution. The way I did it was as follows: HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(new Uri(sb.ToString(), UriKind.Relative)); My StringBuilder contains the relative ...
Hello All, I've just started developing silverlight applications. I've created a webserivce in my asp.net project. Now, when I try to connect to it through my silverlight project I receive the following error: "the opreation is not supported for a relative uri" I am using the following url --> http://192.168.1.2/MyWebsite/SubVersioned...
We are experimenting with hosting a silverlight application on Amazons EC2. I can get it to serve up the .xap file, but I'm having some trouble with using the webservices that the silverlight application requires. Usually I would add a service reference in visual studio and enter the URL for the webservice, something like http://url.co...
How can I capture a tab entered in a Silverlight TextBox and render 4 spaces (or a tab) in it's place? I can't figure out how to block the tab navigation. ...
I finally got a Silverlight MVVM example to work so that when I change the values of first name and last name text boxes, the full names change automatically. However, and strangely, my model which inherits from INotifyPropertyChanged is only notified if I change at least 2 characters of either the first or last name. if I change "Sm...
Hi, I am having some problems with the Silverlight full screen mode. If I switch my application to full screen all the input from the keyboard is not handled. No textbox input, no key down / key up event and probably much more. Here is a sample application that demonstrates this : Xaml : <Canvas> <TextBlock Text="Try some input:" C...
These two 1-hour videos show step-by-step how to use the MVVM pattern to build simple quiz applications in both Silverlight and WPF: Implementing Model-View-ViewModel in Silverlight Implementing Model-View-ViewModel in WPF What amazes me about these is how different they are structurally, for instance, how they use DataBinding: In th...
Hi, I am at a loss, and hoping someone here can help me. I have created a WCF service that runs on a remote computer. The service is self-hosted, but provides the clientaccesspolicy.xml through a webget command. I also have a silverlight application that queries the WCF server. I access the service through a service reference. When ...

I have a complex application that consists of an Application, containing many modules, each containing many views. The behaviours of my views may throw exceptions. Sometimes I want to handle exceptions on the view that created them, sometimes in the parent module, sometimes in the grand-parent application. The concept of RoutedEvents s...
Please excuse my ignorance, I only started coding in Silverlight recently. I tried implementing the command pattern in Silverlight and hit a wall. They say commands are great, because you can write them into xaml, so you can keep your code-behind clean, also you have loose coupling between your view and your viewmodel because there is n...
I'm steadily progressing on Silverlight from a programming standpoint. I believe I'm to the point where I want my application to look decent to begin demo'ing. Doesn't have to look awesome, but not like a 2 year old did it (although a 2 year old might be a step above my current design skills). With HTML, you could typically find some ...
This is no doubt a newbish question, but I have looked for an answer to no avail. My setup is simple: I have a ListBox control defined in XAML and an ObservableCollection<MyClass> in the same class. I am binding the ObservableCollection<MyClass> to the ListBox. Within the hierarchy of this ListBox in XAML, I want to bind to a given My...
