Does anyone know if Microsoft plans on implementing XAML (declarative) databinding of IronRuby objects for Silverlight and WPF? Without it, using IronRuby for Silverlight/WPF development really isn't all that compelling (IMO). ...
In this example code, I'm trying to offset the Grid's Canvas position by the height of one of its rows. Does anyone see what I might be doing wrong? As you can see, I tried moving the binding lower in the xaml file, just in case the RowDefinitions needed to be defined first. Either way, it doesn't seem to matter because Canvas.Top is...
I'm working on the UI side of a WPF project. My favourite reference while xaml'ing (besides stackoverflow :) ) at the moment is Adam Nathan's "Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed". He gives the following tip regarding control templates: "Rather than using a ContentControl inside a control template, you should use the lighter-weight...
I would like to bind multiple dependency properties of other activites to a dependency property (of type object[]) in my custom activity.

I need to display an image, which I've done without problems before, but today I decided to be tricky and use "add as link" instead. Well, now I get: The file Images/hello.png is not part of the project or its 'Build Action' property is not set to 'Resource'. Wait... its Build Action is set to Resource. I've seen a Silverlight soluti...
Sorry guys, I posted this earlier today where my "add as link"ed images were giving me a design-time error. I got assistance with that and now my code compiles, but now the images don't even appear when my application runs. Just for giggles, I changed the Build Action for the images, and nothing made a difference. Is there anything I ...
Is there a way to do 'using' in XAML i.e. declare a namespace and include it in the general xaml scope so I don't have to write namespace:Class, just Class. ...
Hello I have been searching the internet for two days and wasn't able to find any solution to my problem. Here it is. I have a data structure in wich you can find "Curves" objects and "CurveTypes" objects. A CurveType contains a collection of other curvetypes (category/subcategories).

I have a Window.Resource object and the next statement <CollectionViewSource Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current}, Path=someProperty}" x:Key="someView" /> But what if I need to point to a public property in the Window's code-behind, not the App's?

I have searched through many times but have not seen this before. Probably really simple question but can't wrap my head around it. Wrote a VSTO add-in for Excel that draws a Grid dynamically. Then launches a new window and replaces the contents of the Canvas with the generated Grid. The problem is with printing. When I call the print p...

I've configured my application to parse the CSV file to return a List<CSVTransaction> that contains properties with names: Date, Payee, Category, Memo, Inflow, Outflow. The user clicks a button to select a fi...
I have a Silverlight DataGrid that's being populated with different types of data for each column. I'm trying to figure out how to format some of the contents of the DataGrid's cells, specifically for dates and formatting.

I am coming from Flex where you can do just about anything inside of curly braces. I am trying to get a TextBlock to display today's Date and Time without just coding it in C#. I have tried many different variations of the following with no luck. TextBlock Text="{Source=Date, Path=Now, StringFormat='dd/MM/yyyy'}" I know I could probab...

I'm making my own ControlTemplate for a standard Button in WPF. I want to change the background of my button when the user hovers over the button with the mouse, but also when the user presses the button (to yet another color). This seems like a common behavior, but I can't get it to work. My template consists of a Border with an Image ...
