Is there a way to disable Intellisense in the XAML editor in Visual Studio 2008? It is often a big performance drain while typing, and sometimes I'll sit for ten or more seconds waiting while the list automatically popups up. It appears that in Options->Text Editors->XAML, the Intellisense section is section is unavailable (grayed out)....

I'm a long-time C#/.NET programmer but totally new to WPF and the System.Windows.Controls namespace and XAML. The more I learn about it the more I realize that you can do pretty much all of your GUI initialization and event handling glue in either XAML or in code (say C# code or VB.Net code). My question is to those who have been wo...
Hi there, .Net contains a nice control called DocumentViewer. it also offers a subcontrol for finding text in the loaded document (that's at least what it is supposed to do). When inserting FixedPage's objects as document source for the DocumentViewer, the find-functionality just does not find anything. Not even single letters. I haven...
I'm a longtime C/C++ Unix guy. I recently started work in a new position that's gonna eventually require C# and WPF (and probably some LINQ). What are the best resources to quickly come up to speed on all these Microsoft technologies? Years ago I read Petzold's book and loved it because it was so complete and by the end I really felt lik...
How can I add a line break to text when it is being set as an attribute i.e.: <TextBlock Text="Stuff on line1 \n Stuff on line2" /> Breaking it out into the exploded format isn't an option for my particular situation. What I need is someway to emulate the following: <TextBlock> <TextBlock.Text> Stuff on line1 <LineBreak/> ...
In XAML I can declare a DataTemplate so that the template is used whenever a specific type is displayed. For example, this DataTemplate will use a TextBlock to display the name of a customer: <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type my:Customer}"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" /> </DataTemplate> I'm wondering if it's possible to define ...

I have tried changing the TabStripPlacement to Right, but it just stacks the tabs up on the top right side of the control -...
I'm looking for a way to create an "it will look cool" effect for a full screen WPF application I'm working on - a "screen glint" effect that animates or moves across the whole screen to give off a shiny display experience. I'm thinking of creating a large rectangle with a highlighted-gradient and transparent background, which could be a...

In essence, I have a control template that I have created too large for it's use/ mainly because I want to use the same control with different sizes.

When using resources such as brushes, templates and styles in WPF, they can be specified either as StaticResources <Rectangle Fill="{StaticResource MyBrush}" /> or as a DynamicResource <ItemsControl ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource MyItemTemplate}" /> Most of the times (always?), only one works and the other will throw exception du...
Suppose I have a dataset with those two immortal tables: Employee & Order Emp -> ID, Name Ord -> Something, Anotherthing, EmpID And relation Rel: Ord (EmpID) -> Emp (ID) It works great in standard master/detail scenario (show employees, follow down the relation, show related orders), but what when I wan't to go the opposite way (s...
I want to set a style on the first and last TabItems in a TabControl, and have them updated as the visibility of the TabItems is changed. I can't see a way to do so with triggers. What we're after looks like this: | > > > | And the visibility of TabItems are determined by binding. I do have it working in code. On TabItem visibility...
We are creating custom WPF controls (not user controls) for an XBAP application and we would like to add a storyboard animation to scale the control to be 110% of its original size when the mouse hovers over it. We've used Blend to create the storyboard and it compiles just fine...however, when we run, it does not animate up to 110%. I...
The code-complete feature in Visual Studio is very useful, and it still works for C# and C++ code - but no longer works for XAML (XML) editing. Is there a setting somewhere that can re-enable this? My co-workers still have it working. ...

How can I keep the control from scrolling that item into view (instead simply selecting the partially visible one)? This behavior is very annoying when doing a drag from this control. Thanks.
