In the context of a navigation-style WPF application (NavigationWindow, not XBAP): Is it possible for a Hyperlink's NavigateUri to contain extra parameters, like path data or a querystring? E.g., is there some way I could set my NavigateUri to /Product.xaml/123 or /Product.xaml?id=123, and have my Product.xaml page be able to see that i...
I've got a WPF ListView/GridView spec'd in XAML. The first column uses a CellTemplate to specify icons and the others use DisplayMemberBinding to populate themselves. The icons column is 20 wide, the icons 16 but they're getting truncated by margins/padding/something. I can't work out where it's set. Here's the essentials (I've remov...

I've done a pretty decent amount of looking on the inter-webs, searching for ways to improve the poor performance of my WPF DataGrid control. I came across this little gem from this article, but I can't seem to find anything about it in the documentation. Can someone point me to where in the docs I might find how to manipulate how Virt...
I am working on a prototype project and need to put a new layer of abstraction over my existing NAnt scripts, for which I'd like to use .Net, possibly even WPF. What I have at present is a NAnt script which I call from a Command window (a DOS box, for the old-skoolers). As I said, I'd like to wrap this inside a WPF application that I c...
Does anyone know if there is an equilant attribute of SVG's "gradientUnits=userSpaceOnUse" in WPF for a LinearGradientBrush? I can't seem to find this. If not, does anyone know about how to calculate it in (C# or VB.NET)? For example if I have a StartPoint of 0,0 and EndPoint of 1,1 on a Rectangle that is 100x100, the angle is 45 degree...

I have a requirement to change the background colour of the active control (to make it easier to identify where the cursor is). I've tried using a style with a trigger on the IsFocused property but I'm not having any luck at all; it doesn't seem to fire. A XAML solution is most preferred. Any ideas? ...
I want to make the Foreground property of a WPF Textbox red as long as its Text property does not match the Text property of another Textbox on the form.

Background: I have a ListView/GridView with several columns. In some situations, only some of the columns are shown. Since there is no Visible property for GridViewColumns in WPF, I set the width of the columns I want to hide to zero. Visually, this achieves the desired effect (and I actually modified the ControlTemplate for the GridVie...

Hi! Enough is enough - I've just spent an hour searching around trying to find out how to read the ListViewSubItem values (if that's correct terminology in XAML) from a ListView.

I have been learning about TDD and BDD and using this as much as I can at work but in an environment that really isn't agile. I want to try it out properly on a pet project at home. So, going with the agile approach, and the principle of having working software, what should I write first? Should I create some forms first (this will be W...
