Hello all. Starting with Silverlight development. Yet to read a good Silverlight book: suggestions welcome. I have a main GUI screen where 7 user controls (menu items) 'swoop' into sight, all along their own path. I have the user controls nicely seperated and behaving well. Having multiple storyboards (1 each for each menuitem) with mu...
When I start up VS 2008 to work on a WPF / Silverlight App and open a XAML or XML file the XAML / XML editor is no longer working. The designer does not show up and intellisense is unavailable. It basically looks like a text file has been opened. ...

I'm using the Accordion control together with some templates, the XAML looks like this: <layoutToolkit:Accordion x:Name="MatchesAccordion" SelectionMode="ZeroOrMore" Width="Auto" SizeChanged="MatchesAccordion_SizeChanged"> <layoutToolkit:Accordion.HeaderTemp...
Is it possible to pass generic objects (by generic I mean any with DataContract, not C# generic collection) without inheriting from one root? At the moment I have something like this: [OperationContract] void Save(GenericObject o); [DataContract] [KnownType(typeof(ClassA))] [KnownType(typeof(ClassB))] class GenericObject {.... [DataCo...
I'm loading an image to a background, and I want the silverlight canvas containing it all to resize to the image size (or maximum or minimum that I determine) of whatever the size of the image is. So I've done the following: private int ImageMargin = 4; public Page() { InitializeComponent(); BitmapImage bi = ne...

I have the OnClick command on my button to trigger my ICommand and then I load the CustomerModule: private void EditCustomer(Guid customerID) ...

I'm considering creating a WPF front end for a Silverlight application. Since Silverlight generally has the smaller subset of functionality this should be possible, but I'm not sure the best way to approach the problem. From the outset, let me say that I'm currently running the app out of browser but it lacks functionality like capturi...
If I have an externally hosted application (www.outside.com) outside the firewall but users within a company wanted to be able to enable LDAP authentication against their local (behind the firewall) AD server (acting as LDAP) or other LDAP server (call it ldap.inside.com), how would this be done. It seems technically possible in that wh...

At runtime in a generic fashion (i.e. iterating UIElements) can I determine if a given FrameWorkElement has a non-inherited DataContext property set? I want a list of elements where DataContext was explicitly set, not inherited from higher up in the chain. I thought perhaps GetBindingExpression() would help but so far it has not. Usin...

I've been hitting my head against a wall with this one for a while now. I've got a custom control that derives from ContentControl - it's working perfectly EXCEPT that it won't resize to fit its parent, either declaratively OR programatically. The custom control is parented within (ultimately) a content presenter, and that's correctly ...
I was able to follow Justin Angel's (Silverlight team member) advice from this question to scroll to a particular item in a TreeView. Unfortunately, it simply isn't working in my project. Based on Justin's advice, I implemented the extension methods he designed which allowed me to get a TreeViewItem from an underlying object and in trac...
I am generating a set images to form a human body so that I can use for a physics engine. The images generated are in a specific user control in where I set the dimentions and co-ordinates of each image. That usercontrol is then loaded in another user control but for some reason when the images are loaded, one specific image which I name...
