I have a datagrid, and certain columns need to contain text that is linked to a detail window. So, in order to make it a bit easier on myself, I created a UserControl that is basically a Button with a control template that contains a TextBlock (I could have done this a number of other ways, I know, but I figured the button already expose...
This is probably mostly a question about how to use the VS 2010 IDE tools in a way the Microsofties didn't specifically intend. But since this is something I immediately tried without success. I have defined a .NET 4.0 WPF Application project with a simple class that looks like this: Public Class Class1 Public Property One As Strin...

I have a ComboBox that uses a DataTemplate. The DataTemplate contains a binding which uses an IValueConverter to convert an enumerated value into a string. The problem is that the value converter is never invoked. If I put a breakpoint in StatusToTextConverter.Convert(), it never is hit. This is my XAML: <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Bin...

Hi, in one of our applications we're using alocal RDLC-report (displaying using a ReportViewer control) to print some tables and text entered by the user. We'd like to give the user the ability of formatting the text. I thought I might use the respective WPF controls (embedded into the Windows Forms application) to make things easy. Q...

But, I need it in WPF. is this something that is built in, or am I going to have to build it myself? I assume it has to be somewhere in the framework, since VS2010 is build in WPF. Edit: I have managed to get some ...
