I have that book (and this is my first foray into the wonderfully stupid world of WPF), but...
One of the generated files is called Reference.cs - it's got 10,000 lines of code in it - geeze! All of the classes are partial. What am I supposed to do with them?
So little documentation - and even less time... :/

Hi All,
When I first started out on WPF I found a tool called Snoop ... I couldn't ever get it to work reliably.
Well ... its had a complete overhaul ... !
Works like a charm and now has an MSI installer too!

Wow. That looks cool. Nice find, Jammer

No problem Paul. I was so frustrated with the old version since I could see how useful it would be if it worked properly.
This app is really great.

This is just a quick question to point me in the right direction.
I want to write some sort of custom control (so far a UserControl) that will basically be defined as a TextBlock, and certain parts of that text block need to be customized by properties by the user of the usercontrol.
So I get that I can define entire properties, but how do I provide part of a property for something like a TextBlock?
For example, suppose I want a user control that creates a TextBlock with the contents "Hello {name}, how are you today?", where {name} is specified as a property of the user control.
I'm thinking something like ASPX would be nice here, how you can render an output... I don't suppose WPF has anything like that... where I can just "render" the XAML for a custom control?
The journey to WPF enlightenment continues...

Anything you can do in XAML, you can do in code - that's ultimately what XAML boils down to. So it's fairly trivial to implement something like this in code. e.g.
TextBlock textBlock1 = new TextBlock();
textBlock1.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;
textBlock2.Background = Brushes.AntiqueWhite;
textBlock1.Inlines.Add(new Run("Hello "));
textBlock1.Inlines.Add(new Bold(new Run(userName)));
textBlock1.Inlines.Add(new Run(", how are you today?"));
Alternatively, you can add your items via XAML directly just by using three TextBlocks. Two of these blocks would be static, the third would bind to the user name.

Super! That's what I was looking for. Is it possible to declare something like a Run or a Span inside a string, as an inline like Bold, but set its content via binding? Or would I have to do the three separate TextBlocks as you say?
Something like this would be handy:
<textblock>Hello <run source="{Binding ...}">, how are you?
Cheers

Well, if you want to use binding, you can do this:
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="Hello "/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay, Path=Name}" />
<TextBlock Text=", how are you?" />
</StackPanel>
|

I managed to get something like what I wanted, by overriding the user control's OnRender method:
<UserControl ...>
<TextBlock>
Hello <Run x:Name="name" />, how are you?
</TextBlock>
</UserControl>
protected override void OnRender( DrawingContext drawingContext ) {
base.OnRender( drawingContext );
name.Text = Name;
}
Cool. 
P.S.
What's that tool everyone uses to copy and paste code into html that fixes angle brackets and all that? I'm getting tired of disabling html in my messages.

Another really powerful feature of WPF is the ability to use converters. This could be done as:
<local:GreetingConverter x:Key="GreetingFormatter"> This is the actual text.
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay, Path=Name}"
Converter={StaticResource GreetingFormatter} />
</StackPanel>This would be the class that implements the converter:
using System;
using System.Windows.Data;
namespace MySample.GreetingConverter
{
[ValueConversion(typeof(object),typeof(string))]
public class FormattingConverter: IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType,
object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
return string.Format("Hello {0}, how are you?", value);
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType,
object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
return null;
}
}
}

Fascinating. Are converters able to return WPF types, or just primitives? And are they called every time the interface is rendered, or only when things change?

They can convert between any types you want and they're called when the value changes. In 3.5 there is a StringFormat property on the binding itself. You may also want to lookup multi-bindings and multi-input converters.

Cool, thanks for the tips. I thought you were Pete there for a second, since he's been replying to practically all my questions, so I wanted to thank him; but thank you also.

I am trying to create labels and textboxes dynamically on a stack panel and I can't display them at run time. The reason I am creating them at run time is I have report names and report parameters stored in a table. When I select a report from a treeview I would like to create the corresponding texboxes and labels based on the data I get from the database. Below is the code for creating Report Parameter fields. In Win forms, I could use
pnlParameter.Control.Add(lbl).
private void CreateRptParmsFields(int ReportNameID)
{
_currCtrl = _staticCtrlCount + 1;
BUI.ReportParameterCollection rpc = BUI.ReportParameterCollection.FetchListByReportNameID(ReportNameID);
foreach (BUI.ReportParameter rp in rpc)
{
Label lbl = CreateLabelControl(rp);
lbl.Tag = rp;
Control ctrl;
switch (rp.Control.ToLower())
{
case "cmb":
ctrl = CreateLabelControl(rp);
break;
default:
ctrl = CreateTextBoxControl(rp);
break;
}
}
}
The two methds below are for creating labels and textboxes respectively.
private TextBox CreateTextBoxControl(BUI.ReportParameter rp)
{
TextBox t = new TextBox();
t.Name = "txt" + rp.Code.Replace("@", "");
return t;
}
private Label CreateLabelControl(BUI.ReportParameter rp)
{
Label lbl = new Label();
lbl.Name = "lbl" + rp.Code.Replace("@", "");
lbl.Width = 150;
lbl.Content = rp.Description;
return lbl;
}
Can anyone show me how to display those fields on a stack panel.
Thanks

How can i parse html files through silverlight?

Hi!
I am working on audio conferencing using WCF and WPF, Visual Studio 2008, C#, Direct Sound. I capture the sound from microphone using DirectSound. Then I send the Audio stream (in byte[]) to the server and broadcast from there. It is working fine and connected clients receive the response from the server. But when the incoming audio stream is played, an unrecognizable sound is coming.
I simultaneously run two thread for sending data to the server.
Constructor --
public AudioConferencing()
{
Initialize();
senderThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Send));
receiverThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(PlayAudioStream));
}
private void Send()
{
try
{
captureBuffer = new CaptureBuffer(captureBufferDescription, capture);
CreateNotifyPositions();
captureBuffer.Start(true);
bool readFirstBufferPart = true;
int offset = 0;
MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream(halfBuffer);
bStop = false;
while (!bStop)
{
if (bIsSendingActive)
{
autoResetEvent.WaitOne();
captureBuffer.Read(offset, memStream, halfBuffer, LockFlag.None);
byte[] dataToWrite = memStream.GetBuffer();
SendAudioEvent(dataToWrite);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "VoiceChat-Send ()", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
}
finally
{
captureBuffer.Stop();
}
}
public void StartPlaying(byte[] AudioStream)
{
playbackBuffer.Write(?, byteDecodedData, LockFlag.None);
playbackBuffer.Play(?, BufferPlayFlags.Default);
}
BINDING DETAILS --
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
binding="netTcpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="DuplexBinding"
<nettcpbinding>
<binding name="DuplexBinding" receivetimeout="00:00:20" sendtimeout="00:00:10">
maxBufferPoolSize="67108864" maxBufferSize="67108864" maxConnections="100"
maxReceivedMessageSize="67108864" portSharingEnabled="true">
<readerquotas maxstringcontentlength="67108864" maxarraylength="67108864">
maxBytesPerRead="67108864" />
<reliablesession enabled="true" />
<security mode="None" />
</readerquotas></binding>
</nettcpbinding>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to know how to write the DirectSound playback Buffer - by the audio stream coming from the server and how to track the rate of playing position and write position.
Please give me the complete guideline (any reference website/code).
Thank you.

I'm sorry, but you seem to be under the misapprehension that we do your work for you. That's not what these forums are for - they are for you to tell us what you've tried, and then for us to give you some pointers to help out. That's it.
