    - Force ClearType over Grayscale Antialiasing Just to add a comment, when I look at your image on my computer, it looks much better with the antialiasing turned on. I think it's a general issue with ClearType -- it looks different to different people on different hardware. Since it sounds like you can't disable antialiasing within WPF itself, perhaps you can turn off ClearType completely or use the ClearType Tuning applet to make it look better on your machine Tag: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Problem with adaptive context menus Visual Studio 2008

    - how to create a message from scracth? Hello, I'm writing a MessageEncoder because I'm receiving a non-standard stream and I want to create a message from it's values, so: 1) I 'understand' the parameters of the operation from the stream and use a DataContractSerializer to serialize them to the body of the message... The question is: How do I correctly write the body of the message Because I can write a parameter using the DCS but I can't write the Operation Name, so the dispatcher fails when it tries to resolve the call: OperationFormatter encountered an invalid Message body. Expected to find node type 'Element' with name '[ OperationContract_Name ] ' and namespace '[ ServiceContract_Namespace ]'. Found node type 'Element' with name '[ DataContract_Name ]' and namespace '[ DataContract_Namespace ]' This is: I'm sending the parameter of the operation contract that I want to call, but I don't write the first element with the operation contract name... So, how can I do that Thanks, M Tag: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Problem with adaptive context menus Visual Studio 2008

    - How to use CaptureMouse method I have a Canvas in which I have added some entities and when I selected one entity and moving my mouse entity should move with it. I have implemented it but when I am moving my mouse very fast it leaves the entity. Overall, moment of the entity is not very smooth. That's why I have tried to use CaptureMouse() method. When I am selecting an entity, I call the Mouse.Capture(<entity name>). But it then it stops moving. Nothing is happening, entity movement get stopped. I have also added Mouse.Capture(null) in the MouseUp event. Or is there any other way of making the movement of the entity smooth. Please let me know if further clarification is required.

    - WCF - Upload a file to a service with a progress bar in the client Hi all, I'm currently experimenting WCF, i'm pretty new to this whole thing actually. I'm using VB.NET (VS2005). So here's the thing: I'm building a small test application using WCF to upload a file to a service. I created 2 ways of uploading my file, both work perfectly. I can send the file in chunks or stream it. I tried to add a progress bar so I could see the progress on the client side. Works perfect with the chunk upload, but I can't seem to get it to work with streaming. I tried using a callback, but it seems that I won't receive any callback before the whole process is done. I do know that's normal since I didnt use "IsOneWay:=True"but I do not want to use this attribute because I don't want the process to continue before the file is totally uploaded. Is there any way to send some feedback from my service to my client to monitor progress Here are parts of my code: Service <ServiceContract(CallbackContract:= GetType (IServiceUploadFichierCallBack), SessionMode:=SessionMode.Required)> _ Public Interface IServiceUploadFichier <OperationContract()> Sub UploaderFichierStream( ByVal pfStream As Stream) End Interface Public Interface IServiceUploadFichierCallBack <OperationContract(IsOneWay:= True )> Sub MAJFloodStream( ByVal pintStream As Integer ) End Interface Upload function Public Sub UploaderFichierStream( ByVal pfStream As System.IO.Stream) Implements IServiceUploadFichier.UploaderFichierStream Dim outstream As FileStream = File.Open(mstrDestination, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write) Dim content() As Byte ReDim content(0) Const bufferLen As Integer = 4096 Dim buffer(bufferLen) As Byte Dim count As Integer = 0 Callback = OperationContext.Current.GetCallbackChannel( Of IServiceUploadFichierCallBack)() count = pfStream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferLen) While (count > 0) Try Console.Write( "." ) outstream.Write(buffer, 0, count) Callback.MAJFloodStream(count) count = pfStream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferLen) Catch ex As Exception Call MsgBox(ex.Message) End Try End While outstream.Close() pfStream.Close() End Sub This is what I use on the client side: Public Class CallbackHandler Implements ServiceUploadFichier.IServiceUploadFichierCallback Public Sub MAJFloodStream( ByVal pintStream As Integer ) Implements ServiceUploadFichier.IServiceUploadFichierCallback.MAJFloodStream Form1.ProgressBar2.Value = Form1.ProgressBar2.Value + pintStream End Sub End Class Private Sub cmdShareStream_Click_1( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdShareStream.Click Dim Callback As InstanceContext = New InstanceContext( New CallbackHandler) Dim service As New ServiceUploadFichier.ServiceUploadFichierClient(Callback) Dim infoFichier As New ServiceUploadFichier.MessageInfoFichier Dim fstream As FileStream = New FileStream(txtSource.Text, FileMode.Open) Dim dblAvant As Double Dim dblApres As Double service.Open() Try dblAvant = Timer infoFichier.Destination = txtDestination.Text service.InitialiserFichier( "" , "" , infoFichier.Destination) ProgressBar2.Value = 0 ProgressBar2.Maximum = fstream.Length service.UploaderFichierStream(fstream) dblApres = Timer lblTempsStream.Text = (dblApres - dblAvant).ToString( "0.00" ) Call MsgBox( "Source: " & txtDestination.Text & vbCrLf & "Destination: " & txtAdresseSharepoint.Text) Catch ex As Exception Call MsgBox(ex.Message) End Try fstream.Close() service.Close() End Sub I think I posted the most important parts, don't hesitate to ask I more is needed to find the problem Thanks in advance, Fred Tag: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Problem with adaptive context menus Visual Studio 2008

    - Customizing a ComboBox's SelectionBoxItem when SelectedItem=null I have a combobox whereby I want it ("them", really, as I've got several) to display some grayed-out, italicized text in the combo box if there is no selection (i.e. the app just started), but to show the normal item when one is selected (IE7's search dropdown does this). The catch is that I can't set ComboBox.Text to the value because IsEditable=false, so that value's ignored. I've tried messing with the ItemTemplate, but that doesn't apply to the selected item. The only solution I've found is to manually create the entire combobox's style, but in doing so, I tie that behavior to a particular look (for example, I'd have to hardcode the "Classic" theme (or "Aero" or "Luna") with the display bevavior). It seems like this kind of styling should be pretty easy, but I'm not seeing an easy solution, but I really, really, really do not want to rebuild an entire combobox look just to get the desired behavior.

    - Treeview with Master/Detail display problem I have a treeview and three textblocks. The treeview is tied to XML data, see this post for XML and XAML format: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1934971&SiteID=1 When clicking on a leaf in my tree, I want to display details for that particular item to the three textblocks. In this case, I'm dealing with material properties (such as cost, density, etc of aluminum) and want to show these properties in textblocks when selecting a specific material. I've scoured the main Master/Detail posts with respect to a treeview control. From what I can tell, a single parameter can be passed to teh textblock using SelectedItem. But somehow I would like to tie each textblock to the XML data for its specific property (cost, weight, etc.). I've been successful in passing only the material name property to a textblock using Path=SelectedItem in XAML, but have not yet been successful passing multiple XML data to the respective textblocks or anything else besides the material name (such as cost or density).

In both cases the [ServiceKnownType(typeof(System.IO.FileInfo))] was set on the OperationsContract that uses IOObject.

    - why double size? Bragi, the exponent is a scale modifier. Moving from light years to meters to picometers is a scale change. Moving from page 1 to page 2 is moving in the same scale. You will never reach the high scales and will always miss the tyniest by the scrolling. Yet, you do not need to. The scale always remains the size of mechanical objects -- a sheet paper, a monitor . Btw, the System.Drawing designers used both integer and floating versions of objects. Tag: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Problem with adaptive context menus Visual Studio 2008

    - DuplicateKeyException I don't understand this, but the issue is "fixed". Here's some details. I created a class that does some HTML "scraping" to acquire data, which "updates" several tables in the database (removing data, adding data and updating existing data). The basic structure here was to store the DataContext as a class member, then individual methods were called to do isolated updates in a manner similar to what I posted. Prior to the code above, a method ran that basicall did "context.Rows.RemoveAll(context.Rows)". (Is there a better way to remove all rows from a table ) After this, I obviously called SubmitChanges() as well. Something in the reply I got here made me start to wonder if for some reason LINQ thought the keys were still in use, despite my having removed the rows. So, as an expirement I removed the member and created a new DataContext in every method, and to further my paranoia I did so inside a using block. Now, everything works correctly. What am I missing This sounds like a bug, but maybe I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing here. Seems to me that this design is highly inneficient (does the DataContext use a connection pool, or am I making a new connection every time ). Further, it seems like if I unrolled the operations into a single function I'd be doing basically the same thing any way, so I'm uncertain what exactly causes the issue here Oh, and BTW, I figured out a useful way to debug what happens inside of SubmitChanges(). Or at least to partially debug into it. I used the Log property on the DataContext with a "DebugTextWriter". Code Snippet public class DebugTextWriter : TextWriter { public override Encoding Encoding { get { return Encoding .Default; } } public override void Write( char [] buffer, int index, int count) { string text = new string (buffer, index, count); Debug .Write(text); } } Tag: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Problem with adaptive context menus Visual Studio 2008

    - NamedPipe Endpoint Question A WCF service can be hosted in an executable. The executable needs to be running, though, for the service to be waiting for connections. If you want dynamic activation, you need to host it in an environment that supports that, such as IIS. The following example shows an example of an EXE that hosts a service using named pipes. [ ServiceContract ] public interface ITest1603039 { [ OperationContract ] string Echo( string text); } public class Service1603039 : ITest1603039 { public string Echo( string text) { return text; } } public class Host1603039 { public static void Main() { ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost ( typeof ( Service1603039 ), new Uri ( "net.pipe://localhost/Service" )); host.AddServiceEndpoint( typeof ( ITest1603039 ), new NetNamedPipeBinding (), "service" ); host.Open(); Console .WriteLine( "Host opened. Listening at the following addresses:" ); for ( int i = 0; i < host.Description.Endpoints.Count; i++) { Console .WriteLine(host.Description.Endpoints .Address.Uri); } Console .Write( "Press ENTER to close" ); Console .ReadLine(); host.Close(); } } Tag: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Problem with adaptive context menus Visual Studio 2008

I have a context menu with menu items. Some of the menu items have children (i.e. subgroups). The context menu is adapting it's content depending on what I right-click. This is accomplished because I have attached a command to each menu item that isn't a group, and these items become disabled when the command can't run.

Since I does't want disabled items in a context menu, I have a style making all disabled menu items take the visibility property "Collapsed", making them disappear when they become disabled.

The problem now is how do I hide menu item groups when all their children are collapsed

Re: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Problem with adaptive context menus

Ben Carter - MSFT

There is no one "right" way to accomplish what you want to do. Here are some possibilities:

You could set the Visibility property manually when the menu opens. You can use the Opening event for that.
You can setup a mulitibinding with all of the children to tie the parent's Visibility to the children's. You'd have to do this in code and would need to account for the children changing. Also, if the objects in your Items collection are not MenuItems, then be sure to use the ItemContainerGenerator to map from your items to the MenuItem containers.
You could try to listen for changes to the Visibility property on MenuItems by registering a change callback and then updating the parent's Visibility property.
