Re: Tracing deployed app

So I’m wondering what the easiest way is to log/trace what’s happening inside the app on the live machine. In a previous app I had laced the code with my own logging which I put into a rolling array, and I had a button in the UI to show the lines in a list box. It works, but it’s completely hand-written. I could add similar manual logging to my new app, but before I do that rather tedious work I was wondering if there are better ways of tracing/logging what’s happening inside my SL4 app (inside IE8) on a live machine. It would be nice if I could add logging calls to my code, but let something else do the work of catching and displaying the data (like the Trace infrastructure). Perhaps there are tricks and techniques I’m not aware of.

Re: Enumerating children of a type
It all feels a bit backward to me as to why a parent object would want knowledge of things in it... seems to break encapsulation or some other software rule and does't feel right. If I find myself in this situation, I try to build custom controls at the lower level that have explicit knowledge of the required elements using Template parts etc. then use databinding to pass around stuff.

Re: Validation in TabControl

Essentially the tab is not visible, thus not in the visual tree and so validation can't be done. It's documented if you search for it and there are a few hacks around (one is to switch to each tab, validate and move on.). I thought about this as an option but am not sure how to disabled the screen from flickering while it does this. Nasty hack, so don't like. We currently iterate through each RadTab control recursively (nested TabControls) and add each control to a collection, then validate each one. If any are found we just change the colour of the tab. It seems to work for most cases, but I've been tracking down one page that doesn't work right. The problem with this one is there is a control on the page, which is where all the work is being done. When the page works (if you just navigated to it) then the page returns 2700+ controls to validate. If you click save again, while the tab is not visible, then you only get 100. Everything inside the control, including the control itself is no longer around. So it seems the control is behaving the same way that TabItems behave in that if its not visible then you can't validate it. I guess what I'm asking, has anyone hit this before and perhaps come up with a clever solution? (Clever solutions will be considered even if you haven't hit it before and are just plain clever.)

The user lifecycle is like this : a. First time they use their browser to navigate to the host web page. They are prompted for Windows credentials. b. User clicks a button that lets them install it oob. c. Lets say later the user launch the oob app, I pop up a login window and use the supplied windows credentials for subsequent wcf calls until they shut down the app. This works nicely. However, when they launch the app I do the standard App.Current.CheckAndDownloadUpdateAsync() to check for updates. The problem is that it doesn't detect updates. The reason it doesn't detect the update is because of a 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials on the xap file I can see in Fiddler. This makes perfect sense, I haven't supplied any credentials so why would IIS allow the user to access the new xap file.

My point is that HTML5 will bring to the masses through standardisation the features that consumers have come to demand thanks to agile plugins like SL and Flash. To quote the SL team blog post that flamed the debate - SL/Flash trailblaze and HTML5 will then pave the road. These features are already out there and pervasive (demanded) - so why not standardise and give them the ultimate reach they deserve! Bravo - it's a really good idea, and consumers win. The stuff that was around years ago will now be available through standards. But there is new stuff now... that stuff has been done - tech moves on. Where consumers *also* win is that SL and Flash are all about ideas and tech that doesn't/didn't exist yet + getting it to market fast. It's a playground for great ideas. 3D video. Surround sound, adaptive smooth streaming (for the SL = video zealots). Multitouch, multi screen, multi bloody everything. Rapid development (through Des/Dev workflows) + awesome tooling. Consumers like apps too remember. They would much rather read their EPG in an app than have a link to a web page on their desktop. And what about other ideas that don't really exist yet
Re: Transforms - rotating a page
Hey Tony, You need to make sure the containing element is higher than that rotated element... or it will clip it. On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 9:47 AM, ton...@tpg.com.au wrote: Hi all, I am currently attempting to rotate a form which is rendering to the screen in Landscape to a printed page which is Portrait. While I don't think it's that important, the dimensions of the form are Width=1112, Height=793. The print surface (I am just printing to an XPS file) are Width=793, Height=1112. I matched the dimensions for simplicity. Basically, I add a transform group, call a rotate transform (angle 90 degrees), translate transform to shift the result back onto the page and then after setting the transform onto the form, I set it as the print element. The result of this is that it does successfully rotate the form - everything that I have putting on the page is correct and showing up on the page EXCEPT that the page itself is clipped at the bottom. That is, the page displays as portrait, the content is showing as a landcape rotated, but the page clips at the bottom so that we only see part of that landscape page. It is as though the output hasn't been adjusted for the new dimensions, only showing as much as the height of the original form. I have attached a (very small) example image to show what I mean. Below is the code I am using. Is there anything that I am doing wrong here?

Re: Printing in Silverlight / Writing a bitmap that's not visible

Hi all,
We have moved to Silverlight 4 due to the printing capability. I have been
working on the best way
to enable printing in my application. I have settled on writing page
components to Bitmaps, then
slotting those bitmaps into a page template control (printTemplate) and
printing that. It's all been
working fine except that now I have hit a problem.
I have a tab control. The tab control has a number of tabs. When I click
the Print button that I
have added to the page, it works it's way through all the tabs and prints a
report that contains the
content. Now, it works fine if I have clicked on all the tabs before-hand,
however if I do not click
the tabs beforehand, then the content of those tabs will not get generated
within the report.
However, if I set the element directly into e.PageVisual, then the element
will display.
I believe this is happening because the bitmap does not render from a tab
that has not been made
visible prior to clicking Print.
I have attached some code below and it is still a work in progress. Most of
my printing involves
Landscape orientation, and if I set it to Portrait, or set e.PageLayout =
elementToPrint, then the
element will clip, which is undesireable.
How can I get an element to render inside a bitmap without the element
needing to be visible first?

Re: Printing in Silverlight
Hey Tony, Maybe consider having a view especially for printing... use the same ViewModel or what ever you have and load up the new view before printing from that...

Oh, and bring your external HD / USB keys / laptops / (trying to think of something suitably silly for this entry, but got nothing at this time of night), as thanks to Justin King who consumed great slabs of bandwidth to download all the MIX10 videos (16GB worth apparently, so come prepared) will have them all available for download off an external HD. If Justin doesn't make it then we have a backup of Ewen Wallace (aka @CADbloke) who has already grabbed them from Justin and will also bring them on an external HD. There is a ton of great content there, and is is your best chance to get them if you haven't got them already and want to reserve your bandwidth for other potentially less reputable purposes.

RE: Silverlight limited to 2 simultaneous connections?
I'd have thought it would be a lowest common denominator problem myself... the crappest browser can do 2 at once so thats what Silverlight supports to maintain the best compat? -Original Message- From: ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com [mailto:ozsilverli...@ozsilverlight.com] On Behalf Of Caleb Jenkins Sent: Monday, 22 June 2009 9:13 PM To: ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com Subject: RE: Silverlight limited to 2 simultaneous connections? John - generally that's a server restriction, and something that has been well documented on for IIS as well as various strategies in the HTML communities have been developed to help get around this. For IIS its important when you are using IIS as an application / middle teir / wcf server with an IIS front end web server. In that scenario you still want the limitation from the front end server to the clients, but you want to increase the allowed cnnection from the app server to the UI server. The more general html/web strategies involve breaking you resources in to various sub domains/servers. Images.domain /css/js/html can be placed on various domains to increase your simultanious connections from 2 to 8. The other strategy is to increase individual payloads and decrease number of requests. This plays out by combining multiple images on to a single image and the using css and css sprite support to slice and lay out the images client side. Take a look at the bing.com home page for an exaple of that. The blurry boxes are actually attached to the main image. Hope that helps!

RE: Designing a Silverlight control - DeepEarth
hey mate, The Eventr SuperDeepZoom control (http://www.codeplex.com/eventr) uses parts and states too, all the overlays etc are thus fully templatable... You might get (and set) some ideas from there. Cheers, Jordan. P.S. I'm looking forward to checking out the DeepEarth changes soon! From: ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com [mailto:ozsilverli...@ozsilverlight.com] On Behalf Of John OBrien Sent: Friday, 19 June 2009 10:00 AM To: ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com Subject: Designing a Silverlight control - DeepEarth Hey guys, Over at the DeepEarth project we are going through some big changes moving away from just being one big map control to becoming a toolkit of map controls and components. The idea is to support in theory any Silverlight map control including a lighter weight version of our own and the new Bing Maps control. Anyway we're trying to design a really good template to follow and would love your feedback / tips / advice / links. The wiki page is here: http://deepearth.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Control%20Architecture But to summarise I'm looking at the Parts and State model but also a way to separate out the base map implementation from the control using an interface. The first example code I have committed is a Coordinate control, basically listens for the mousemove event and calls a method on the map to translate the pixel position of the mouse to Latitude/Longitude. I have used the parts and state model with the generic.xaml default, spotted most people seem to use constantly name constants for the values and all state changes seem to be called in one GoToState method. The key design decisions are: 1. Each control is a separate project 2. Each control has its own map interface class 3. Each specific map implementation for each control would be its own project. Although this appears to be a nightmare of potentially hundreds of projects, for an open source project (where we are encouraging everyone to come and contribute a control) the separation will hopefully make management easier. Thoughts?

I read a blog post not so long ago that showed an example of this but rather
than modifying the Data class being bound to, they uses a partial class
(effectively adding an additional property to the Dataclass in its own file).
This enabled them to bind to the new property without having to have access to
the data class (ie if the data class was part of the generated proxy)
Not actually tried it and not sure where that blog post is... will check my
Del.icio.ushttp://Del.icio.us links and see if I bookmarked it.

Subject: Silverlight Binding Expressions
Hello
I have a very trivial problem, but all the solutions to it seem to be a bit of
an overkill. Just looking for a simple solution
So here's the problem: Bind a Textblock to more than one field (or a string
and a field)
For example: Textblock Text={Binding FirstName + + LastName} /
Or, Textblock Text={Binding You are logged in as: + {LoginName}} /
I know the following solutions already:
1. Have two Textblocks with clean and simple bindings.
2. Use a Converter (with ConvertBack for two way binding).
3. Use Xambda (Yeah, I mean a Generic Lambda Converter used in Xaml with a
Lambda expression)
References for Xambda:
http://www.fikrimvarnet/lestirelim/?p=15http://www.fikrimvar.net/lestirelim/?p=15
http://marlongrech.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/embed-code-in-xaml/
And I know advocates of Designer/Developer work flow will argue that embedding
complex expressions in Xaml defeats the whole purpose and leads to the bad (or
good) old days of spaghetti code. But I guess, having trivial code in Xaml (eg
{FirstName} + {LastName}) shouldn't really be a problem.
Basically, All I need is a built-in, in-line Converter for one-way binding in
Xaml, without having to create my own one line Converters for such trivial
transformations.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I think Monthly to every six weeks is a good idea and alternate between physical meet ups and virtual ones... Of course if people are keen we can do the virtual meets far more often as suggested.

RE: Silverlight Binding Expressions
I'd be either using a) a stack panel with multiple text boxes of b)
(prefereably) a view model which supports a LoggedInAsText property, which
you can do the concats nicely.
A ViewModel is simply a class which is passed in to the DataContext and
provides nice properties for your UI to bind to, encapsulating the model away
from your UI (preventing the UI from having to be moulded to suit the model)...
Have a hunt around for a few MVVM articles, they are sprouting up more and
more.

I'm not doing anything tricky, but I suspect it has something to do with bindings. The Flex Profiler doesn't always give enough information to exactly pinpoint it either.
