Comment on Path Data, Prefixes and Known Colors by Terry Clancy

Terry Clancy — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:45:29 +0000

Regarding relative Path Markup Notation as described here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752293.aspx .

Using the Path Markup Syntax you enter each command by using either an uppercase or a lowercase letter: uppercase letters denote absolute values and lowercase letters denote relative values: the control points for that segment are relative to the end point of the preceding example. Using this Syntax I have created the following Path Geometry.

However I want the Starting Point (100,100 in this example) to be databound as I want to start it at a point which I calculate to be the center of the .

I assume to do this I can either Databind the entire Figures string or cease using the abbreviated Path Markup Syntax and define the in explicit XAML.

So I am trying to define the in explicity XAML and here is my question:

QUESTION: In defining the above in explicit XAML, how do I specify the use of relative values, or offsets, ie for example that the control points for that segment are relative to the end point of the preceding example.

Excellent post. I was starting to think I’d just have to hard code the property.

Comment on Accessing Enum members in Xaml by Parag Shravagi

Parag Shravagi — Mon, 11 May 2009 03:37:59 +0000

I am facing a strange problem.
I want to define an enumeration with a description attribute attached to every member of enum.
I want to bind the enum with a comboBox in such a way that the combo box displays the attribute values instead of original enum members.
I would like to define a generic template/solution as I have multiple combo boxes which each of which must be bound to seperate enums.
Can anybody please help me in writing this?
Thanks in advance

Hey Andrew,

Very curious about your response to a WPF forum post about memory leaks caused by DynamicResource and/or StaticResource:

Would love to converse with you about over email (its my first name followed by my last name (Plotts) at gmail),

Comment on PropertyDescriptor AddValueChanged Alternative by jon

If you are just replacing the AddValueChanged to use this, remember you will need a reference to the notifier, the previous way (DependencyPropertyDescriptor) did as it has an internal hash map. maybe save someone a few minutes

If you change this line

if (null != notifier.ValueChanged)
notifier.ValueChanged(notifier, EventArgs.Empty);

to this, you will get the correct sender in the event

if (null != notifier.ValueChanged)
notifier.ValueChanged(notifier.PropertySource, EventArgs.Empty);

Comment on Accessing Enum members in Xaml by Jason

This seems to work OK, except I get an error – No constructor fro type ‘EnumListExtension’ has 1 parameter. Compiles and runs fine.

If I use EnumType={x:Type local:MyEnum} (instead of the constructor version) then it doesn’t even compile and run. I get the error: Unknown property ‘EnumType’ for type ‘MS.Internal.Markup.MarkupExtensionParser+UnknownMarkupExtension’ encountered while parsing a Markup Extension. Line 86 Position 27.

Any ideas? Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I’m using VS 2008 Pro SP1.

Hey Andrew, I had been looking all day for a replacement for WPF’s DependencyPropertyDescriptor and I came across this article. Unfortunately it looks like they removed the Bindable() attribute from the final Silverlight release – do you have an update to this code that works in the final bits?
Thanks,
Bob

Hey,

I’m trying to find a link to download Mole for Visual Studio.
The link on CodeProject is dead.
I couldn’t find an email address for Josh or Karl.

Thanks if you can help me out.
