I'm having a little trouble as I decide how to structure my projects. This question is slightly subjective, but I'm having trouble conceptually. If I create a wpf blend project (sketchflow right now), it creates two projects, "Project" and "ProjectScreens". Is this the best layout to use? The issue is, I have classes and code (networ...
I create a basic TemplatedControl via Visual Studio. I then inherit TabControl instead of Control. It technically works (ie passes compile) but inside Expression Blend 3, I get an error " object reference not set to an instance of an object". Then if i click on the TabItem itself, the error goes away? anyone experience this? I tested ...
We are currently building a WPF solution in Blend 3 and Intellisense is extremely slow. Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 beta 2 do not have any problems, Blend 2 did not have any issues either. How would it be possible to disable Intellisense in the XAML editor. Many Thanks, KShaban ...
My company's product is, at its core, a framework for developing metadata-driven UIs. I don't know how to characterize it less succinctly than that, and hope I won't need to for purposes of this question, but we'll see. I've been trying to come up to speed on WPF, and have been building UI prototypes here and there, and recently I deci...
I have a network directory that has a dump of all employee pics here at our company. The images are named FirstnameLastinitial.jpg. I ultimately am trying to build a photo browser of these pics in Silverlight but I thought I would start with how to harvest the Pictures from that location. I would imagine that I should generate an XML ...
about 10% of the time when I go to compile code that should compile, blend fails. I know the code should compile because w/o changing a thing it will compile in VS just fine. The really weird thing is that about 50% or more of the time, after compiling in VS and I come back to blend, it compiles. >_< So, why does blend suck at compiling...
Anyone have any suggestions on how to insert a row or column in a WPF Grid using (preferably) Visual Studio 2008? It's no problem to add a new RowDefinition or ColumnDefinition, but I'm really not too excited about the prospect of incrementing the Grid.Row or Grid.Column for the large number of cells that are affected by the insertion. ...
Somehow, Expression Blend has entered full-screen mode (no window chrome), but I can still minimize/maximize/restore/move through the taskbar button. I don't see any menu options for full-screen mode, and the normal keyboard shortcuts don't work (F11, Alt-Enter). I'm not sure how this happened, but I would sorely love to get my chrome ...
I'm using SketchFlow for the first time, and am confused as to why my text isn't showing up in the "Buxton Sketch" font it's supposed to (see image). I just did a repair installation, and it didn't make a difference. In the Text properties, I don't see "Buxton Sketch" as an option, either. I'd appreciate any help. UPDATE Everything look...
Stupid question I know but how do i create one? All i need it to do is open up a dialog box and populate the text box next to it ...
Is there a way to change the default LayoutRoot type in Expression Blend 3? Currently, I'm prototyping in SketchFlow, and I prefer Canvas over the Grid, and it's annoying to change it for every new screen. ...
I've created a control in blend (xaml and code behind), saved it, and rebuilt the entire project. Now, not only does this new control not appear in the Assets tab in blend, none of the other user controls i've created appear either. I've rebuilt several times, blown away the obj and bin directories and rebuilt again, to no avail. How ...
I'm developing a cross-platform solution with an underlying mechanism for reading files, in Silverlight I still want to be able to use the same filename references as with the other platforms, these file references are relative to the path of execution. For Silverlight, the files are marked as resources and included in the Xap. My quest...
Hi folks, i've been trying to deal with the following problem: When creating a custom animations for different visual states in Expression Blend 3, which change size/opacity of multiple elements on the grid, it creates the visual state groups in the grid itself rather than in control style and defines it as CustomVisualStateManager. <...
I am doing some transition animation using WPF and Blend 3. I have two outer usercontrols which is what I want the transition effect to happen on. Using Blend I can make this effect. The problem is however, that I dont know how to trigger this animation inside one of those usercontrols. The storyboard is only in scope for the window hold...
Is there a way to change the mouse wheel behavour in Expression Blend? I want it to scroll instead of zoom. ...
I work almost exclusively in Release mode since debugging it is good enough for the rare times I need to debug. I've recently started trying to use Expression Blend 3 for my xaml, but it seems to only work with the debug version of my project. Is there any way to change this? I'd really like to avoid having to build everything debug...
I'm working on a set of controls that has a number of DependencyProperties. The properties are themselves DependencyObjects and created during the get method of the properties. During the Get method, they are also set back to the propertybag using the SetValue() method, so they are in fact valid in Xaml and their properties can be storyb...
When creating a control style & template in Blend for a WPF application, I want to take advantage of the Visual State Manager. How do I do this? Whenever I right-click over the button and select Edit Template, Create Empty ... nothing shows up in the States panel. When I do the same for Silverlight application, the typical states show ...
I am trying to use Blend 3.0 to edit a project that contains some WPF controls. This project already compiles and runs fine from Visual Studio 2008. In Blend however, I'm getting mysterious errors that make no sense: For example, I have a class that derives from Control : namespace Company.WPFControls.SearchTextBox { public class ...
