In XAML if I am defining the Orientation property for a StackPanel, IntelliSense brings up the Orientation enum. If I'm defining my own control with a DependencyProperty based on an enum, is there a way to get IntelliSense to bring up the enum? Enum: public enum MyEnum { Foo, Bar } DependencyProperty in control: public static reado...
I'm in need of a solution to print or export (pdf/doc) from C#. I want to be able to design a template with place holders, bind an object (or xml) to this template, and get out a finished document. I'm not really sure if this is a reporting solution or not. I also don't want to have to roll my own printing / graphics code -- I'd like ...
Robert Martin says: "There should never be more than one reason for a class to change". Let's consider the ViewModel class which is bound to a View. It is possible (or even probable) that the ViewModel consists of properties that are not really related to each other. For small views the ViewModel may be quite coherent, but while the appl...
I'm dealing with a WriteableBitmap in C#. I'm currently using an unsafe code block to directly access the pixels via WriteableBitmap.BackBuffer. I'd rather depend on the /unsafe option, however, so I'm considering using WriteableBitmap.WritePixels instead. Is there some way of conditionally compiling in the "unsafe" version such that ...
Defining WPF properties is too long: public static readonly DependencyProperty FooProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Foo", typeof(string), typeof(FooClass), new PropertyMetadata("Foooooo")); I have a helper method, making it a bit shorter: public static readonly DependencyProperty FooProperty = WpfUtils.Property<string, Foo...
I developed some WPF projects, but I met a very serious issue. As you know, the .Net 3.5 installation is a pain (huge and relying on internet access). This is a problem on when we ship my product. Is there a way to bundle the redistribution part only? ...

Does anyone know of a definitive guide or guides that tells us the differences between WPF and Silverlight. I know that Silverlight, for example, doesn’t have all the controls and all the namespaces that WPF has. Is there a source which tells me exactly what controls and namespaces are absent in Silverlight? There are other things th...

I've been wondering, at what point should I give up the convenience of a static data entry form with designer support for a dynamic UI which removes a lot of code duplication? There seems to be a conflict in the programming world where people constantly try to remove code repetition to improve maintainability and yet when it comes to fo...
I want to have a Folder browser in my application, but I don't want to use the FolderBrowserDialog. (For several reasons, such as it's painful to use) I want to use the standard OpenFileDialog, but modified for the directories. As an example, µTorrent has a nice implementation of it (Preferences/Directories/Put new downloads in:). ...

Now I'd like to show one UI element for each value of the enum, in a specific order, and have the "CurrentValue" highlighted (bold). I would...
