    Caveats with WPF dynamic resources and animations.

    Recently we've been building some cool stuff in WPF with resources and animations. In this post I will share some experience with a bug from our code base I fought recently. The actual code is complex, so here is a simple example that I used when hunting the nasty bug (source code is in the bottom of the page): <Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">     <Window.Resources>         <Style TargetType="{x:Type Rectangle}" x:Key="RectangleStyle">             <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Blue" />         </Style>     </Window.Resources>     <Grid Name="testGrid" >        ...

    WPF Data Binding: Unraveling data templates

    Data binding in WPF in general and particularly working with data templates tends to be quite tricky some times. Here I'll present you some more advanced tips for dealing with data templates. To start with, I want to refer to an article I read a while ago. It is about the basics of data templates and I want to use it as a starting point and a foundation to build on. If you are just starting to work with WPF or you have never met with data templates, please read it first to get acquainted with the idea. I'll use ItemsControl for...

    WPF: Custom control style and theme resources

    Hi everyone. I'm Jordan Dimitrov from the WPF team. I'm planning to post about .Net, first with few post about WPF. My first post is about resources and themes. Recently I had a problem with resources from themes files. I tried to use DynamicResource markup extension in Style in generic.xaml (sample bellow). But it didn't work. I changed DynamicResource extension with StaticResource markup extension and now it works. But WHY DynamicResource doesn't work? Sample XAML In my generic.xaml there are two items - a style for my CustomControl1 and a resource SolidColorBrush with key brush1.     1 <ResourceDictionary     2    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"     3    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"     4    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1">    ...

    WPF Line Drawing and the Device-Pixel-(In)dependence

    As you are probably aware resolution and device independence is one of the fundamental design goals of WPF. In order to achieve the desired effect the framework does not work directly with physical (device-dependent) pixels but abstracts this notion into device-independent measuring units like inches. There are two main benefits that you get from this: Automatic DPI-aware scaling Sub-pixel positioning -- WPF coordinates use floating point numbers that theoretically give you the ability to draw with higher precision than the one provided by the ordinary pixel grid. However, there is one nasty side-effect related to the fact that WPF graphics are anti-aliased by default...

    Spinning RadCarousel

    This is my first post, and by obligation I have to say a few words as an introduction. I’m Mihail Valkov, and I have been working on component development at Telerik for several years. I know my name comes a bit mouthful for many of you, so I'll just use Mike for short. I'm the guy behind some of our Windows Forms components and part of the team that created the great TPF. I am excited of the many good things to come in our WinForms offering in the near future and I am determined to keep you posted about...
