I just can't seem to locate anything that gives me definitive stuff on being able to host multiple individual SilverLight applications on one web page.
I am looking to be able to create a few different individual SilverLight apps and place then on different areas of the page so the user can interact with them individually.
Just seem to be having a hard way to show how this is done.
Any good examples anyone is aware of?

What you might want to do is use a composite application block provided by Microsoft.
Using this block, a huge Silverlight application can be broken up into smaller modules (these can be nothing but different xap files).
Each of the files can then be run side by side on the same webpage.
Multiple xap files are loaded into different regions.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

Hmmm.. Thanks for the info. Looks like I have a bunch of reading to do 
Just relay odd that I don't ever really seem to see any videos on the web about doing this type of stuff.
Maybe that's a hint to me to do something...

You absolutely can do that - the old Silverlight.net site did it, and I also ripped off the idea for interactive "islands" in a web page....it's as simple as you'd think too - just add multiple tags pointing to differnet .xaps.
I'd avoid the CAB approach unless you need communication between the apps...it's good, but a little OTT for simple stuff...
C# has already designed away most of the tedium of C++.

Hello Everyone
I have created a Client/Server application on C# on WPF IDE and I have a little problem on my UserClient property class...
Within this class I have a method called:
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
UserClient temp = obj as UserClient;
if (temp != null)
{
return (userId == temp.userId);
}
if (temp != null)
{
return (userPass == temp.userPass);
}
return false;
}
The problem I'm having is:
The class UserClient is highlighted with a green line under-neath where when I place MouseOver it sas:
UserClient overrides Object.Equals but does not override Object.GetHashCode
Here is the entire UserClient class code:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace DtposClient
{
public class UserClient
{
private string UserFullName;
private string UserAccessLevel;
private int UserId;
private int UserPassword;
public string fullName
{
get { return UserFullName; }
set { UserFullName = value; }
}
public string accLevel
{
get { return UserAccessLevel; }
set { UserAccessLevel = value; }
}
public int userId
{
get { return UserId; }
set { UserId = value; }
}
public int userPass
{
get { return UserPassword; }
set { UserPassword = value; }
}
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
UserClient temp = obj as UserClient;
if (temp != null)
{
return (userId == temp.userId);
}
if (temp != null)
{
return (userPass == temp.userPass);
}
return false;
}
public UserClient(string fullNam, string aLevel, int usId, int pass)
{
fullName = fullNam;
accLevel = aLevel;
userId = usId;
userPass = pass;
}
}
}
Could someone please help me crack this problem....
thanks in advance
kind regards

lapeci, forum guidelines state "do not post the same question in more than one forum." see answer to question in C# forum.
"You get that on the big jobs."

That's easy. Whenever you override Equals, you are required to override GetHashCode. All you need to do is add an override for this method.
The reason you need to do this is because you have changed the way equality works, so without a custom hashcode, you can end up with two different objects with the same hashcode - hence a problem with equality.
BTW, you should have posted this in the C# forum as it's a generic C# problem. The fact that the application is WPF is neither here nor there.

You can always use the new method to create a method of your own (breaking away from the inheritance hierarchy).

public class TreeItem
{
public string HeaderTag { get; set; }
public List<TreeStatusItem> StatusItems { get; set; }
public List<TreeItem> items { get; set; }
public TreeItem()
{
StatusItems = new List<TreeStatusItem>();
}
}
public class TreeStatusItem
{
#region Properties
[DataMember]
public string StatusText { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string StatusValue { get; set; }
}
Here a TreeItem has a HaderTag which displays as the Header for the treeview, the StatusItems contains items of a different type and the items have a List of the container class itself.
The sample data would be
-RegionName(object of TreeItem type)
--Oustanding(object of TreeStatusItem type)
--Live (object of TreeStatusItem type)
--Areas(object of TreeItem type)
----Oustanding(object of TreeStatusItem type)
----Live (object of TreeStatusItem type)
----SubAreas(object of TreeItem type)
......
...
I need to bind the data which is List<TreeItem> to a silverlight treeview. I can`t figure out how the hierarchical template should be !!!!
When you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.

I create a class ReportNode, it uses the NodeTag property to store the actual record that is used to populate the treenode
public class ReportNode : ViewModelBase
{
public ReportNode(string sLabel, object oObject, string sColor)
{
NodeLabel = sLabel;
NodeTag = oObject;
Color = sColor;
}
public string NodeLabel { get; set; }
public object NodeTag { get; set; }
public string Color { get; set; }
private ObservableCollection<ReportNode> _ChildNodes;
public ObservableCollection<ReportNode> ChildNodes
{
get
{ return _ChildNodes; }
set
{
_ChildNodes = value;
base.OnPropertyChanged("ChildNodes");
}
}
}
Hierarchical data template binds the itemssource to the ChildNodes collection.
When loading the nodes I stuff the NodeLabel with the text to display and the list object goes in the NodeTag property. When accessing the node I test the typeof the nodetag to determine what to do with the node. I have 1 tree with 6 different data sources, works perfectly.

Stop posting multiple versions of the same question. You could follow this through in one thread, so that is what you should do. Honestly, you've asked more than enough questions on the forums to know this - and, btw, you should try to avoid the code behind; read about MVVM.

My database table contains two fields, id and name
What is the way to populate the combobox with the projectnames and have the id of each projectname assigned aswell.
This is required so that if for example, from a list of names in a listbox, a name is selected, then I want the projectname to be selected in the project combobox.
The table returns the name and the projectID
I can populate the combobox with the projectnames from the project table but not sure how to assign the IDs to them.
<ComboBox Name="cboProjects" SelectedIndex="{Binding Path=ProjectID}"
/>
Thanks

You need to bind to DisplayMemberPath and SelectedValuePath I think.
In your example you're not showing how you're populating the combo at all, so not exactly sure if this is what you are after...
If you have a List<items> collection to which you bind, then each Item has an Id and Description - you bind the DisplayMemberPath to Description and the SelectedValuePath to Id

I have now included the real sample of what I am trying to do...
You see that first I am retrieving data from a stored procedure which then correctly gets populated into a listcollection called grades.
First problem is that the combo box does not get populated.
Note that I can see there is correct data in cboGrades.ItemsSource
Do you see what I am doing wrong please?
Thanks
public static List<clsStudentDetails> GetGrades()
{
DbCommand comm = clsGenericDataAccess.CreateCommand();
comm.CommandText = "uspGetGrades";
DataTable table = new DataTable();
table = clsGenericDataAccess.ExecuteSelectCommand(comm);
List<clsStudentDetails> grades = new List<clsStudentDetails>();
for (int i = 0; i < table.Rows.Count; i++)
{
clsStudentDetails details = new clsStudentDetails();
details.GradeID = int.Parse(table.Rows[i]["GradeID"].ToString());
details.GradeName = table.Rows[i]["GradeName"].ToString();
grades.Add(details);
}
return grades;
}
---------------------
private void PopulateGrades()
{
List<clsStudentDetails> studentDetails = new List<clsStudentDetails>();
cboGrades.ItemsSource = clsStudentAccess.GetGrades();
}
---------------------
<ComboBox Name="cboGrades" DisplayMemberPath="GradeName"
SelectedValuePath="GradeID"
Width="208" />
|

A quick squiz shows nothing obviously wrong...
in PopulateGrades I would change so that it reads
studentDetails = clsStudentAccess.GetGrades();
cboGrades.ItemSource = studentDetails;
and check in debug that the studentDetails collection really does contain the data you think it does.
I usually start with some dummy data too - just to make things snappier..
private List<StudentDetails> GetDetails()
{
List<StudentDetails> studentDetails = new List<StudentDetails>();
studentDetails.Add(new StudentDetails()
{
GradeId = "1",
GradeName = "Top Grade"
});
studentDetails.Add(new StudentDetails()
{
GradeId = "2",
GradeName = "Not too bad"
});
studentDetails.Add(new StudentDetails()
{
GradeId = "3",
GradeName = "Try Harder"
});
return studentDetails;
}

So, I have everything completed with no code in the code behind. I have everything separated. How should my view model notify the view that the database update has worked? Any thoughts or examples on how to do this?
I didn't get any requirements for the signature

You could simply add a dirty flag and bind to this.
|
|
|
|

Your VM needs to expose some property that indicates success or failure.
You might need a converter because there are three or four states you're talking about:
1. Don't have a pending update
2. Have a pending update
3. Update failed
4. Update passed
(2. is only appropriate for asynchronous updates)
So your VM has a property that starts off with a value 1.
When the 'save' command is triggered, it is set to 2.
When the results of the Save are returned t is set to 3 or 4 respectively.
You could 'merge' this with any process you are using to enable/disable the Save button - so add another state ...
0. Nothing To Save

Bind the status to a textblock and create a property for it in your view model (assuming everything is bound to the view model).
Once your async web service comese back from the server, fire an action to get to the view model and then let INotifyPropertyChanged take over to update the status.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

This is what I did. I guess the user will have to click a link to navigate, or I can put that in the code behind. Thanks for the reply.

Strange. You should not need to - are the datacontext's correct?

We use the MVVMlight framework from Galasoft, it has a messaging construct. In the completed method we send the name of the method via a Completed message pump, the relevant view or viewmodel subscribes to the Completed message, checks the message content and takes action as appropriate.
We use a VERY simplified structure, I know it can get a lot more complex but this meets our current needs.
However I rarely (never) use it to navigate as the datacontext generally meets our needs (data refreshes after the call and updates the UI via onpropertychanged)

I'm working on a WPF app that has to have rows of controls added at runtime. The rows will be fairly simple - Caption and TextBox, and in some cases, a button to the right.
Since I'm using MVVM, all the View has is:
<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<StackPanel Name="pnlControls"/>
</ScrollViewer>
Now in the ViewModel when I pull the data that represents the rows, how do I add them to pnlControls?
