Hey Kevin, great job on the presentation... I caught it a few days ago, and when I went out to sessions.visitmix.com to view/ download... it wasn't there.

Do you have a copy that you can post?

Hi Kevin!

Realy nice. But I have tried to use "TranslateTransition" as C#.

Any tips (or code) on how to applay "TranslateTransition" on two MediaElement created in C# ? Cause I add my players by C# code behind XAML.

Hi Kevin,

I have been trying for several days, to download your MIX07 session, XD009 - Windows Presentation Foundation for Developers - Part 2. The link to the MIX07 site, http://sessions.visitmix.com/default.asp?year=All&event=1011&sessionChoice=2011,2012&sortChoice=4&stype=asc&id=1576&search=XD009&rsscheck=rss , results in:

ADODB.Field error '800200009'
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.
/upperlayer.asp, line 0

Do you know if the link to Part 2 will be fixed? I am looking forward to viewing it.

Thanks

I feel like your presentation has brought me closer to you.
I feel like we may be connected in some strange way now.
It's like you're my brother, my own, flesh and blood!

Hi Kevin,

First of all thanks for the bag o tricks - such a good kickstart!

I have tried out the Date Controls and noticed that if you create a template for the month control, you seem to lose the title/day headings. I have yet to figure out why.

I know this was developed by another team, but is their anyone that has an update to it or know what I am missing?

Thanks!!

Perter said...

Got it!...When the control is templated it loses the DataContext...It is worked around by checking out the DataContext within the bag o tricks code - DateControls.generic.xaml

I had a problem compiling it at first, but it turned out it was because the archive and the corresponding unpacked folder had a "%20" in the name (I used Firefox). Removing the %20 fixes the problem.

Great examples, thanks a lot!

Hi Kevin, great work.

I dont know if this was already discussed, but here it goes:

When opening the calendar from the DatePicker, the calendar is truncated on its right side. Opening it again fixes the problem..

Does somebody know how to get rid of that ?

Hi, Kevin.
I am trying to set an observablecollection to the itemssource of the UIListPager, but an ArgumentException is thrown: 'System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection`1[DummyClass]' is not a valid value for 'ItemsSource'. Is it possible?. Thanks
