I could use FrameworkElementFactory to create a template, but this class is deprecated. The recommended way, according to MSDN is to use XamlReader.Load to load XAML from a string or a memory stream.

I am getting started on a WPF app whose UI will be modeled rather loosely on Outlook. I would like to emulate the Blue color scheme in the Outlook 2010 beta.

Hello All, Please consider the VS 2008 .NET 3.5 SP 1 solution at this location: http://www.theese.com/SolutionName.zip This application uses Microsoft's Composite WPF (aka Prism) architecture.

This only happens if I have VirtualizingStackPanel.IsVirtualizing="True". Is this a known problem? Is there ...
