datatemplate

How would I go about implementing this? Let's say this is my model: public interface IAnimal { string Name { get; } } public class Fish : IAnimal { public string Name { get; set; } public int ScalesCount { get; set; } } public class Dog : IAnimal { public string Name { get; set; } public string CollarManufacturerName { get; set; } } public class ViewModel { public ObservableCollection<IAnimal> Animals { get; set; } public ViewModel() { this.Animals = new ObservableCollection<IAnimal>(); this.Animals.Add(new Fish { Name = "Carl", ScalesCount = 9000 }); this.Animals.Add(new Dog { Name = "Fifi",

I've modified my question since it has changed focus when trying things out. I narrowed the problem down to the following... I try to bind the selected Item of a TreeView to a StackPanel (or some other container that can hold User Controls). This container will then display a UserControl, depending on the type of the selected item. Here is the xaml of the StackPanel (both treeview and stackpanel are in the same window ==> different grid column) <StackPanel Grid.Column="2" MinWidth="500" DataContext="{Binding ElementName=myTree, Path=SelectedItem, Mode=OneWay}"> <StackPanel.Resources>

New to WPF and have Tabs and in each tab the content is presented in a curved corner panel/window/whateveryouwannacallit. I wasn't sure how to do this ( Style, ControlTemplate ) but decided to go the DataTemplate way. So now I have this DataTemplate: <DataTemplate x:Key="TabContentPresenter" > <Border Margin="10" BorderBrush="{StaticResource DarkColorBrush}" CornerRadius="8" BorderThickness="2" Grid.Row="0" Padding="5" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"> <ContentPresenter Content="{Binding}" /> </Border> </DataTemplate> As you can see with the the background property I wan't to set the

Application: WPF Application consisting of a textbox on top and a listbox below Users type a string in the TextBox to find employees, and search results are displayed in the ListBox ListBox uses DataTemplates to display elements (shows employee name, department, phone and a thumbnail picture.) Implementation: At application startup I query the database and retrieve all employees and related information to be shown in the ListBox. This is kept in memory the entire time. After application startup, all the searchable data is in memory and searches are virtually instantaneous. All searches are

I'm using the following code to dynamically add columns to my GridView: public void AddGridViewColumns() { GridView view = (GridView)_myListView.View; GridViewColumn column = BuildGridViewColumn(1); view.Columns.Add(column); } public virtual GridViewColumn BuildGridViewColumn(int blockIndex) { string templateXaml = string.Format( @"<DataTemplate xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"" xmlns:x=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"" xmlns:local=""clr-namespace:Pse.MyTest;assembly=MyTest""> <DataTemplate.Resources> <local:BlockToBrushConverter x:Key=""

Ok, this is an embarassingly simple-looking problem, but is driving me crazy. I'm learning about DataTemplating and am trying to apply a very VERY simple ItemTemplate to a ListBox. However, when I run my app, the template is completely ignored and I just get the standard-looking listbox, whereas in fact I'd expect to see a list of checkboxes with 'Test' along side. I've tried this several times and always the same result. I've checked several resource on Google and all have the same kind of syntax for defining and ItemTemplate on a ListBox, so I really cannot see where I'm going wrong. Code...

How can I make a Datatemplate for a ViewModel blendable (designable in expression blend). When I go to resources and try to edit the DataTemplate directly all I see on the Drawingborad is a blank rectangle. This is because the DataTemplate is not bound to anything. Of course I can create a UserControl and create some designtime data in code there to see the template but I now would have to switch back and forth between the resource (to edit) and the usercontrol (to see the result of my edit). Isn't there a more direct way to edit and see my DataTemplate? Anderson Imes It's a bit of a stretch

I am working on WPF application using MVVM. I have two page. I have multiple UserControls in a page 1, on selection of UserControls from page 1, I want to show that selected userControl in 2nd page. Below are my code. ViewModel Code public RelayCommand<string> OnClickSelectWidgetCommand => new RelayCommand<string>((setUserControlName) => { using (new CursorWait()) { var MyContentControl = setUserControlName; MessageBox.Show(MyContentControl); //How to render UserControl to View? } }, true); Here in above code I get the UserControl name in setUserControlName variable. Now how to bind that
