I would like to use these pictures in another assembly. After looking at msdn pack uri, and seeing a lots of samples, I thought that the followin...
What is the general approach for creating reusable XAML shapes in a ResourceDictionary? If I define a Path or other shape in the ResourceDictionary, how do I go about using it? I would like to have a clickable diagram in my application, made up of several shapes. I imagine that I would use Buttons in the diagram, but I would like them t...
I'm new to WPF. I have a WPF Window with a bunch of Labels on it as well as a ListBox. When resizing the window, I want to scale the size of SOME of the Labels, but not all of them. I don't want the ListBox to scale either--just some Labels. I understand I can use a Viewbox to resize as the Window resizes, but as much as I mess with ...

I've been writing applications that load xaml files dynamically using XamlReader. That way I can skin my applications in different ways, or distribute just simple xaml files to users for different amounts of functionality. Now I'm wondering if there's a way to do something similar for code-behind files. Is there a way to distribute a loo...

I am trying to alias a resource in XAML, as follows: <UserControl.Resources> <StaticResourceExtension x:Key="newName" ResourceKey="oldName"/> </UserControl.Resources> oldName simply refers to a resource of type Image, defined in App.xaml. As far as I understand, this is the correct way to do this, and should work fine. However,...
I have a usercontrol (ItemsView) that I use in one of my other view. Since I need to access its ViewModel, the ItemsViewViewModel is contained by the ViewModel of the view that contained the control. I use this control at many times and I find it useful to bind a collection on the ItemsSource of my ItemsView control (differently, dependi...
Or would I have to do something like create a windows form and host the xaml inside it? Trying to get as consistent a look and feel as I can. If I can only do the latter, how do I achieve that? ...
Hi, I guess this is sort of a philosophical question, but I have some code that dynamically adds templated columns to a GridView by generating the XAML at runtime from Model data and loading it using XamlReader. My question is, In an MVVM world, where should I put the code that accomplishes this? At the moment, I have it in the codebehin...

Hey guys I am developing a Wpf App for a large client base, and have just found out that Windows Media Player 10+ is required in order to properly use the MediaElement XAML class in my Form. I personally don't use WMP, so I did not have it updated in my system (it was version 9, so no video played). I know for a fact many of the clien...

I am trying to make a WPF app (regular Windows app, not XBAP or Silverlight). I want the main app window to support transparency, and show through the desktop below. But when I specify ToolTip text on a Button, the ToolTip appears beneath (z-order) the main window! I have a screenshot where: * Another app overlapps and blocks view of t...
Hi, I was recently, um, chastised for generating and loading XAML markup at runtime using XamlReader.Parse(). I was told that there's no reason to use XamlReader--it can always be done with static XAML, predetermined at design time. I attempted to ask this person how I could construct a GridView to show pivoted data, where the number of...
I love WPF, but I hate XAML. XAML is too verbose, has syntax issues when Microsoft tried to extend it (see StringFormat on Bindings), and is difficult to navigate. Are there any alternatives to XAML? (These are just my opinions. Feel free to disagree.) ...
