I have a user interface where a user can enter a value and that value is updated in the ViewModel (and eventually written back to a database). This works fine if the a value is actually entered. But if you want to clear that value (i.e. set it to nothing) it doesn't seem to work. So for example if it was 'dog' but I clear that text ...
I've been working on a WPF application. Since I design the UI in Expression Blend 4 and work on the code-behind part in Visual Studio 2010, I constantly switch from one tool to another. I added some Image controls to an existing Grid and assigned some images to them. In Blend, I built the project and ran it. Worked just fine. When I swi...

Can anyone recommend a tool for converting from WPF XAML to Silverlight equivalent? Thanks! ...

I have a grid layout that splits a view into two parts, effectively for two sets of headings and list. I want each list to share the height of the active view evenly so I've used proportional sizing: In the case where both lists exceed the height available this works just fine. However, if the top list only has 1 or two items, it s...

If you need to access a WPF control from the code behind, you need to supply a Name attribute to it in XAML. In many cases, you don't need to access controls from the code behind, since a lot of coding logic such as binding is better applied directly inside XAML. My question is: Is there a performance gain from not supplying the name a...
