I’ve had to deal with this. Say you have an ItemsControl with an ItemTemplate set to an instance of a custom control. Within that control you do Canvas.SetZIndex(this, 99). It won’t work, because “this” is not the immediate child of the ItemsControl’s ItemsPanel. The ItemsControl creates a ContentPresenter for each item, drops that into the … Read more
if you write all your Runs in the same line, the empty space will go away. Basically a new line here is one empty space on the UI. <TextBlock Foreground=”DarkGray” VerticalAlignment=”Bottom” Margin=”0,0,0,8″><Run Text=”total length “/><Run Text=”{Binding TotalHours}” FontSize=”48″/><Run Text=”h “/><Run Text=”:” FontSize=”48″/><Run Text=”{Binding TotalMinutes}” FontSize=”48″/><Run Text=”m “/></TextBlock>
I have encountered this before, TemplateBinding does not work for custom dependency properties on controls. See these related questions: issues with template binding and binding of custom component TemplateBinding does not work in certain cases(when using TranslateTransform) I have always used this instead: {Binding MyProperty, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}} It is semantically the same as TemplateBinding, and … Read more
How to make a composite manifest for Microsoft smooth streaming
Agh, I spoke too soon! There is a perfectly good solution, at least in Silverlight 3. (It might only be in 3, since this thread indicates that a bug related to this stuff was fixed in Silverlight 3.) Basically, you need a single converter for the ItemsSource property, but it can be entirely generic without … Read more
Here is how you can set your attached property in a style <Style x:Key=”ToolBarButtonStyle” TargetType=”Button”> <Setter Property=”PrismExt:ImgSourceAttachable.ImgSource” Value=”./Images/New.png”/> <!–…–> </Style> When binding to attached properties then the Path should be within parentheses so try to use RelativeSource Binding with TemplatedParent instead <Setter Property=”Template”> <Setter.Value> <ControlTemplate TargetType=”Button”> <Image x:Name=”toolbarImage” Source=”{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=(PrismExt:ImgSourceAttachable.ImgSource)}” Width=”48″ Height=”48″> </Image> … Read more
Dependency properties and standard properties are quite different. The key features delivered by dependency properties are support for binding and animation. If you want to assign a value to a property using a Binding or template binding that property needs to be a dependency property. When animating a property the a dependency property can track … Read more
When the view binds directly to the model (which is also the case when the ViewModel exposes the Model) you are mixing UI code and data code. The goal of MVVM is to separate these two code domains. That’s what the ViewModel is for. The view model has to have it’s own properties the view … Read more
Well, you already found the solution 😉 StackPanels won’t fill any remaining space by default because their size is always equal to the combined required size of their child elements. Grid is a great way to go because it will dynamically resize when the browser size changes. Mark’s answer of using a DockPanel works fine … Read more
That’s the frame rate counter for the emulator / phone that is on by default whenever you debug. To turn it off, go to App.xaml.cs and comment this line out: Application.Current.Host.Settings.EnableFrameRateCounter = true; For more information on what the numbers mean (they can be pretty helpful for tracking app performance), see Jeff Wilcox’s post on … Read more
