Hi. I have all three of your solutions and the results are as follows:
3) The project is a valid WPF project, according to this https://www.mztools.com/Articles/2008/MZ2008017.aspx
2) Didn't work
1) Added SchoolPrism.App and it doesn't request for a Main method anymore. The startup dropdown identifies it as well.

The app does run now but still crashes with the error "error CS1558: 'App' does not have a suitable static Main method". So I fixed it with the accepted answer here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/577298/program-does-not-contain-a-static-main-method-suitable-for-an-entry-point. Many thanks, Dirk!

Alright. I understand now. Yet, it isn't a bad idea to get up to speed with it, just in case my next employer requires it. Best not to learn on the job.

That's interesting. Thank you. Besides the scenario you posted, I don't see how often it'll be feasible to drop components or fragments of an application into it during runtime. I thought it was a generic platform for composing software written by several disparate programmers.

Well, 3+3 adds up to 6, which is more than the stipulated amount for one solution. Also I fixed it from a hint in your conjecture so I probably deserve to share 2 from the available 10 points. See? Fair distribution.

So to business, the modules were in the main project initially but I relocated them to a central location so they'll be accessible to each other without fear of circular dependency. I intend to call a method in the infrastructure assembly that will set the directory path for the catalog. But this invocation will be made from CreateModuleCatalog in the bootstrapper. When that didn't work, I commented out the method altogether and the application still compiled fine. I've created another question about this, which brings me to your suggestion

<quote>recommend you build your project without PRISM first </quote>
Since I'm going to use the industry standard for implementing mvvm anyway, why postpone working with it?

Hi Dirk. How is one account able to post two solutions to one question? I already accepted the previous answer and starred it yesterday. In the comments I thanked you for being so helpful. Did you not see?

"ends with an internal class deifnition", yes, I've just realized the classes weren't marked as public (thus internal). Setting their access level to public solved it, thanks!

It just seems as though the resource name is hardcoded into some config file and that file has no access to the resource file. I'm inclined to think so because, even if I change the file name to 'xxx', the error tooltip still reports its inability to find StringResx.xaml. The only mention of that name I can find is in the .csproj file. When I exclude or hide it, the solution explorer omits it but starts reporting errors as well for whatever I used as its replacement.

see https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hQ4Cer1b6LCIFunY3lRwwwen1XLeAmGl?usp=sharing

I've just discovered that the App.xaml has this to say about the resources file "An error occurred while finding the resource dictionary StringResx.xaml" even though they're both in the same location. Could this be the cause?

How do I upload the solution as a zip file? I'm asking because it's a composite mvvm solution so there are a number of files, I don't know which ones will be relevant to you. That's why I refrained from posting any code. The only difference between the visible assembly/namespace and the "nonexistent"/inaccessible is that the visible namespace contains a user control. Their definitions are both the same

Hi. So sorry for my late reply. I found a reference to the assembly reference of the project itself clr-namespace:Solution.Project;assembly=Project so I tried using it thus DataType="{x:Type myns:TargetNs.TargetClass}" but it says nested types are not supported for this attribute, so I tried using it as a standalone resource i.e <myns:TargetNs.TargetClass x:Key="foo"></myns:TargetNs.TargetClass > yet it says the name TargetNs does not exist in that namespace :'(

This is also another way to go about it. However, I usually prefer defining all my resources in one file specifically for accessibility application wide. This method will come in handy assuming I intend using the same data context on more than one control. All the same, thanks for stopping by

That wasn't the cure

Hi, I eventually got through by looking at the following https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/165370/Creating-View-Switching-Applications-with-Prism and calling


IUnityContainer con = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IUnityContainer>();
con.RegisterType<Object, Login>("Login");

before invoking navigation. This worked over creating a new container like
IUnityContainer con = new UnityContainer();
con.RegisterType(typeof(Login), "Login");


Nevertheless, I'll still take a look at AvalonDock just for the fun of it, thanks again.

Very well. Let me take a look, thanks.

Also, if you don't use regions, how then do you display your views in the shell? I'm coming from the docs and online tutorials and I haven't seen one that doesn't use regions, except maybe the samples at msdn.

Yes, I did know about them thanks. I've fixed it and injected the view but instead of displaying the view (which is a UserControl) in that region, it's converting it to a string and showing System.Object.

I know. The response from that page can be found on this bin https://pastebin.com/LV4nemcq. Can you kindly host it at your choice destination and convert it to a jQuery object?

The specific element I'm trying to get from that page is '.nivoo-slider-holder a'

Nothing to be afraid of: https://pastebin.com/LV4nemcq

It's the html content of the resource. Please open https://www.bonhams.com/ and from there, run the code in your devtools. Many thanks.

I'm following the instructions on this thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27881388/how-do-i-fix-incompatible-sql-server-version-found and in the drop-down, I can see version 2012 is there already. I also have the SSDT.exe but when I try installing it, it terminates and the error log states the following "MainViewModel.AddFailedCondition: Error: The current operating system is not supported. This application requires at least Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 to run" whereas I am clearly running windows 8 os. Quite absurd!

Also I purchased a CD Microsoft server R2 2012 but ultimately did not install it because it asked me to backup my drive, I fear it may actually reformat my machine or do something else besides simply installing a server

The file is very large and bandwidth costs are exorbitant in my country so I'll download it later. I really hope it works. Thanks

There's no option to select what version to install. I didn't select 2017, the installer does it by itself

I haven't setup the server before. Don't I need something like an installer or something to trigger the setup to a point where I'm given an instance ID, which I can then use in place of the local\sqlexpress you suggested?

I wrote this in the original post "Moreover, in my programs and features i.e installed programs, I can find Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB. So isn't this the same program that got here because it ships along with visual studio (correct me if I'm wrong).". Thanks for trying to help anyway

It didn't work for me. I'm now getting error 26 error locating server/instance specified. I tried the following server names: .\SQLEXPRESS, (local)\SQLEXPRESS, (localhost)\SQLEXPRESS, .(localhost)\SQLEXPRESS. None worked. But I've looked up a number of threads and discovered I need to have something like SQL SERVER (MSSQLSERVER) in my running services. Presently I have nothing of such likeness in my services. The closest to it is SQL SERVER VSS Writer. So this other parts which are obviously missing, how do I go about getting them?

BTW how are you able to get notifications on new activity? I replied you late because I have to manually refresh my threads before I can observe any changes. I've ticked all the boxes in the newsletter tabs in my settings but I've never gotten any mails from codeproject.

It resulted in an infinite loop: the form is submitted and we're taken to the new page, the new page appears to have the same content as the current one, reload and takes us to a new page, the new page has the same content, and on and on. The new code is here https://pastebin.com/UbGRdivY

Ok. Give me a sec let's see how that works out.

You mean returning a form in the response instead of the full page? If I had control over what was returned, I'd even have simply returned an object or JSON or something easier to handle. But it's a full page returned and the page content I need changes after that responses is loaded i.e. after document.ready

I know. That's why I'm trying to sift off other nodes in the response while preserving the scripts and executing them once that desired element is loaded into the document. If that doesn't work, my other alternative is to replace the current HTML (and the running script) with the response HTML to take things up from there.

I can get away with that in javascript. It isn't the cause of my troubles.

Data contains the entire page. I said "The form is posted to this same page and the page is returned with the same markup but processed data from the submitted form." so the exact same page from the doctype declaration down to footer is sent in the data

@wessel that is not going to fit the purpose. That line intends to create a new DIV then send the fresh data into it. Doing it the way you suggested will change the content of all the DIVs

But I told you what the console says. The function is not a constructor. It doesn't even run let alone allow me observe any breakpoints. Besides, the code is server side js so I've got no devtools so to speak. The important thing here is that the function isn't running to start with.

How do I accept my answer or close the question?

It's just a tiny function that doesn't require a whole library. I eventually solved it. The problem was I was referencing the 1st match instead of the 2nd one. See updated fiddle https://jsbin.com/nunapo/edit?js,output

I've modified the code. No errors yet it does not replace. New fiddle https://jsbin.com/nunapo/edit?js,console,output

Ideally, what should be returned is a single row. I'm checking for a specific row where username matches and that username column is a primary column.

I tried both var_dump and print_r but they all returned empty arrays. Your code did nothing too which means the variables are not picked from the ajax methods.
By the way, the form serializes. When I do

.done(function() {
console.log($("form-div form").serialize());
});

It logs a key/value pair string but the php code remains stagnant i.e. it does not grab the variables thrown by either .post or .ajax

by 'not working', I mean it does not slide nor form a carousel like i want it to

'dirty stuff'?? haha. OK. no problems. my problems are all solved now. check my url again

and this portion is for the fly in div that keeps recurring

var flyInDiv = document.getElementById("flyInDiv");

addEventListener ("scroll", function() {
var programMenu = document.createElement("DIV");

programMenu.className = "programMenu";
programMenu.appendChild(flyInDiv);

document.body.appendChild(programMenu);

programMenu.style.position = "fixed";

});

var navigation = document.querySelector("nav");
var borderBottom = navigation.getAttribute("border-bottom");
var currentDistance = (document.documentElement.scrollHeight);

addEventListener ("scroll", function() {

if (currentDistance > "90px") {
navigation.style.position = "fixed";
navigation.style.top = "0";
navigation.style.borderBottom = "3px solid rgb(157,0,53)";
}

else removeEventListener ("scroll", function() {
navigation.style.position = "fixed";
navigation.style.top = "0";
navigation.style.borderBottom = "3px solid rgb(157,0,53)";
}
);
});

@sergey alexandrovich you do not understand me at all because you did not bother to visit the url i posted to see what my issue is. when the page loads and the scroll event is fired, a div flys in, which is what i want. but my problem is that each time that scroll event is fired, the box keeps flying in instead of the event stopping i.e keeps REOCCURRING

the navigation menu is under the header but stickies to top on scroll but i want it to go back under the header when we scroll all the way back up

please come @ramyajaya come and help out

please help me rectify the problem with that head tag so it can become totally error free.

I investigated about my issue with chrome which I discussed earlier. the root cause is that the "main" tag in my CSS is set with
z-index: -1;
to get that shadow effect Hence all the links in my page are not functioning. Is there anyway I could go around this??

there are no actual errors there. I omitted random values in there just to be sure. if there's an actual problem the page shouldn't display at all.

I checked the site on netrenderer.com and it displays fine. u can see for yourself

relative links do work in chrome. in my page it worked on the div id=logo which is outside my "main" tag. I guess the problem will be from an attribute in my main tag but I have checked and found nothing.

the error console and html validator both found one error in the head tag linking to my CSS file but I don't know how to correct this. see it here

there's also a discussion here which you can join
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29869849/body-background-image-not-showing-in-ie

thanks so much @ramyajaya

hello I have made major changes to my documents and it is OK now but I have got two issues;

1) the body background image does not show in IE but shows in chrome. it only shows background color in IE.

2) links are active in IE but are not in chrome. what could be the problem??

my URL remains http://my-name.orgfree.com

thanks @ramyajaya

it has been answered here https://jsfiddle.net/t36o56fL/

though you can still contribute

hello @ramyajaya i have posted my next question. please check my profile and visit the question so you can help out. thanks

tags @ramyajaya

yes. the previous one has been resolved. it was resulting from the fact that I set my browser to IE compatibility mode

thanks man. I set my browser to compatibility mode. that's just one of my problems though. I'm posting another question. Hope you're still around to help??

I didn't know img has closing tags. anyways I tried that too and it didn't work.

what missing quotes are you referring to?? kindly point them out sir
