The source for Silverlight 2 controls has been released with thousands of unit tests along with the test framework. That said, to develop Silverlight-based applications that use the Silverlight 2 Beta 1 controls, you do not need this source code. Instead, you must install the Silverlight 2 Software Development Kit (SDK) Beta 1. The source code for the Silverlight 2 Beta 1 controls enables you to learn the inner workings of the controls. To get the source code and tests, see Source Code and Unit Tests for Silverlight 2 Beta 1 Controls on Microsoft download site.
The download is useful if you want to extend the controls or use them as a reference implementation when you implement your own controls. Complete unit tests provide additional guidance in developing polished, professional controls.
This download contains the complete source code and unit tests for the Silverlight 2 Beta 1 controls included in System.Windows.Controls.dll, System.Windows.Controls.Extended.dll, and System.Windows.Controls.Data.dll.
The source code for the Silverlight 2 Beta 1 controls includes implementations for the following controls:
- Button
- ButtonBase
- Calendar
- CheckBox
- ContentControl
- DataGrid
- DatePicker
- GridSplitter
- HyperlinkButton
- ListBox
- RadioButton
- RangeBase
- RepeatButton
- ScrollViewer
- Slider
- ToogleButton
- ToolTip
- WatermarkedTextBox

I wonder why MS doesn't want to show the sourcecode for Textbox.

Hi All;
[Edited to include link to mentioned tutorial]
I am trying out Scott Guthrie's Silverlight tutorial and got stuck in a rut. I cannot find any details around.
When I query DIGG on 'car', 'cars', 'sport'....I get an error (described later), while if I query 'space', 'baseball', 'microsoft' I get expected XML. Just does not make sense.
The Exception is:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException
Inner Exception: System.Exception: Download Failure.
Tnx to all
Ian

Hi.
The DIGG service is not returning search results (which is why you can't just send it any ol' string). Rather, it's returning items that belong to a defined topic.
If you go to Digg.com, you'll see the topics divided into categories along a bar at the top of the page. You have to supply one of the sub-topic strings to get a valid response.
This is why you can use "baseball" but not "cars". There's a "baseball" topic at DIGG.com but there isn't a topic called "cars".

AAAAHHHH! Somebody hit me in the ol' head.
But in my defense...I never went on Digg before today.
Tnx

I'm wondering if someone can help me understand the proper way to do this in Wpf databinding.
I have an object with start and end time properties that are displayed in a listview and can be edited in a bound detail area of the form. The edited values are immediately visible in the list after being edited.
The object also has a duration property that looks like this:
public TimeSpan Duration
{
get { return End - Start; }
}
But the duration will continue to display its original value in the databound listview after the start or end times have been edited.
What is the proper way to deal with this situation? How do you get calculated values to show changes in real time?
Thanks,
Art

You really need to call NotifyPropertyChanged (hint - you should implement INotifyPropertyChanged on any datasource that you don't intend to use OneWay binding on).
|
|
|
|

I've tried doing that but nothing has changed. I used the example from INotifyPropertyChanged on MSDN for a template. Here is a snippet of my code:
public class SubtitleItem : IComparable<SubtitleItem>, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private TimeSpan _TimeCodeStart;
public TimeSpan TimeCodeStart
{
get { return _TimeCodeStart; }
set
{
if (_TimeCodeStart != value)
{
_TimeCodeStart = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged("TimeCodeStart");
}
}
}
private TimeSpan _TimeCodeEnd;
public TimeSpan TimeCodeEnd
{
get { return _TimeCodeEnd; }
set
{
if (_TimeCodeEnd != value)
{
_TimeCodeEnd = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged("TimeCodeEnd");
}
}
}
public TimeSpan TimeCodeDuration
{
get { return TimeCodeEnd - TimeCodeStart; }
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void NotifyPropertyChanged(String info)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(info));
}
}
}
What am I missing?

Can you please post the XAML so we can see what you are doing in that code.

Give this minor tweek a go:
private TimeSpan _TimeCode;
public TimeSpan TimeCode
{
get { return _TimeCode; }
set
{
_TimeCode = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged("TimeCode");
NotifyPropertyChanged("TimeCodeCalc");
}
}
Since TimeCodeCalc is ready only, you just need to tell the UI that it changed. Presto, you are in business.

Thanks, that's working.
I guess I misunderstood how this process worked. I thought you informed the system of what changed then it would automagically know that the whole object had changed and needed to be updated.
But the way it actually seems to work looks like there are plenty of ways for bugs to creep in. For instance, in my real project, the property IsModified will have to be notified from every field that can be changed.
Are there any solutions to just hardcoding a bunch of these NotifyPropertyChanged in every editable field?
|

If you have a field that changes anytime other properties are changed, you can raise that event in the PropertyChanged method.
INotifyPropertyChanged interface just notifies the UI when an individual property is changed. This is currently the standard method for property change notification.
Another option you have is to create an object that has Dependency Properties. These have all the plumbing built in for change notification.
Have a look at my article:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/WPFBusinessAppsPartThree.aspx[^]
Go look how I did the time display control. It also has a read only property that changes every 60 seconds and notifies the UI.
There are plenty of articles here on Code Project on writing your own Dependency Properties if you want to go that route.

OK, thanks. I'll give that sample a look and read up more about dependency properties.

Since you're using WPF then you'll be using C# 2.0 at least so you could do something like this (just made up an example since I haven't downloaded your files):
private TimeSpan _TimeCode;
private TimeSpan _TimeCodeCalc;
public TimeSpan TimeCode
{
get { return _TimeCode; }
set
{
_TimeCode = value;
TimeCodeCalc = new TimeSpan(value.TotalMinutes);
NotifyPropertyChanged("TimeCode");
}
}
public TimeSpan TimeCodeCalc
{
get { return _TimeCodeCalc; }
private set
{
_TimeCodeCalc = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged("TimeCodeCalc");
}
}You'll notice the private modifier on the TimeCodeCalc property, what this does is that only your class will be able to change the value. If you wrap your readonly properties like this then at least when you modify them you only have to set the wrapper property and the PropertyChanged event will be fired off. That way you don't have to remember to fire notify about every property in every place where you set it. Just use the new private set method rather than the field to modify the value.
[edit]
I've had a look at your simple solution and modified it to give you an example: http://www.pooredesign.com/downloads/wpf-databinding-calcupdate.zip[^]

Karl, I have another question now.
Based on editing one subitem, I need to change a value in another subitem. The change is working but the other subitem is not reflecting it's new value in the list.
I've implemented INotifyPropertyChanged on both the Item and Subitem classes but am unsure how to tell Wpf that other items in the list need to updated.
Nevermind, I think I've found the problem. I really need to get into those dependency properties because this INotifyPropertyChanged is turning into spaghetti.

INotifyProperyChanged should not be causing you too much grief. This is a very standard interface used by most WPF business objects that are bound to the UI.
If I could offer a suggestion? This is what I do when things get out of hand.
Write a very simple version of what you are trying to accomplish and work it piece by piece. The answer will come. If it doesn't, then you have a very simple project that anyone can look at and provide assistance. Trust me, I've been there. 
Have a super day!

Why not? It's often a useful answer (especially if provided with a link). Have you searched this forum? I've provided links to video training for Blend in this forum before - you might want to take a look here[^].
