So I've got a whole bunch of options, every different page/tab can have their own local options. We'll have maybe 10-15 pages tabs open tops. I need to implement a way to show the global defaults, weather the all the tabs have consistent values. I'm working on the model/viewmodel portion of a WPF app. I'd love to find a way that is m...
Hey guys, I am working on a WPF control whose content is a grid. I am relatively new to WPF so I am wondering if the below is the right way to go about this. I placed two labels in the grid, both in the same column but adjacent rows: <Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.micr...
How can I bind to a UserControl's property from within its ResourceDictionary? I want an object I declare in my resources to have the same DataContext as the UserControl it is contained in: <UserControl xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xm...
I know that Binding in WPF is a really powerful feature, but I don't know if that is possible. My window is composed of a really simple grid: <Grid Height="593" Width="800" > <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="109*" /> <RowDefinition Height="484*" /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Grid.Background> ...
I am in the process of learning WPF, and am puzzled by the fact that databinding exceptions do not cause a runtime/unhandled exception. Can anyone explain the benefits of databinding working in this way? I'm assuming that there are benefits, but so far I don't see any (disclaimer: I am just getting started with databinding). Links to ...
CanUserAddRows="True" only 'works' when there's already data in the itemsource of the data grid. If it just so happens that there are no rows in the original list of items, then the datagrid doesn't display a 'placeholder' row for entering new items, even though I've set CanUserAddRows="True". Why?! Thanks in advance, Trindaz ...
Is there any way to make a WPF app look like it's running on Windows 7 even if it's running on XP? I'm looking for some kind of theme I can just paste in. I'm aware of the themes project on Codeplex (http://www.codeplex.com/wpfthemes), but it lacks support for DataGrid, which is something I critically need. I was thinking maybe the Windo...
I have a Linq to SQL EntitySet with a Foreign Key Relationship between two tables. The tables in question are a Task table (called Issues) and a Departments Table.

Do Microsoft actually provide a build of Rx / Silverlight Toolkit DragDrop that "just works" on WPF? From what I can tell the Rx DragDrop stuff is only available in the SL Toolkit (not WPF). The SL Toolkit seems to imply you can use it in WPF (various #defines) but gives no further info on how to do it. If I just want the DragDrop stu...
Hi, I'd like to write a program where you can have 2 clients that talk to each other in realtime. I've been looking into WCF services and Duplex messaging, data contracts etc but now I'm confused. Basically I see it as: [Client] --- msg --> [Server] --- msg --> [Client] and vica versa. The server will just act as the messenger. Coul...

I have a treeview which binds to lots of nested ObservableCollections. Each level of the treeview shows an aggregated sum of all the hours in child items.

I am a newcomer to WPF, attempting to build a project that follows the recommendations of Josh Smith's excellent article describing The Model-View-ViewModel Design Pattern. Using Josh's sample code as a base, I have created a simple application that contains a number of "workspaces", each represented by a tab in a TabControl. In my appl...
