the type.
Thanks for the reply. Looks like an IValueConverter based solution is
doomed to failure with IronPython and Silverlight.
The usual solution for this would be to combine pre-compiled subtypes
and then save the generated type to disk and re-load it. You need the
pre-compiled subtypes because you can't reference a transient assembly
(which our in-memory subtypes are) from a non-transient one. But
that's not going to be immediately viable in Silverlight because the
pre-compiled type will be a desktop CLR type. So you could use
pre-compiled types on the desktop and try to re-write the generated
assembly but it seems like that's never worked for anyone in the past.
I have no clue on the PARSER_BAD_PROPERTY_VALUE error.
I asked this same question on Stack Overflow [1] and someone said that
you can't bind to a Color at all until Silverlight 4. Maybe that is the
reason for the parser error. My colleague is suggesting that maybe we
can use the new Silverlight 3 Feature "Element to Element Binding" [2],
so I will look into that.
All the best,

*Subject:* [IronPython] Databinding a color in the datagrid in Silverlight
Hello all,
We've been successfully using clrtype with IronPython 2.6 and
Silverlight for databinding, based on the example provided by Lukáš:
http://gui-at.blogspot.com/2009/11/inotifypropertychanged-and-databinding.html
We create the binding when we create the datagrid columns programatically.
Today I've been trying (and failing) to get a column in the grid show
different colors based on databinding.
I've got the colored bubble *showing* in the grid, but can't get
databinding to the color to work. First the basics.
This is the xaml for the bubble with a fixed color:
<DataTemplate xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007'
xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'>
<Ellipse Stroke="#FF222222" Height="15" Width="15">
<Ellipse.Fill>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop x:Name="bubbleColor" Offset="0.694"
Color="#FF00FF40" />
<GradientStop Color="#FFE6E6E6"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Ellipse.Fill>
</Ellipse>
</DataTemplate>
I can add a column based on this template very simply:
from com_modules.loadxaml import loadXaml
from System.Windows.Controls import DataGridTemplateColumn
column = DataGridTemplateColumn()
column.CellTemplate = loadXaml('templatecolumn')
column.Header = 'Bubble'
grid.Columns.Add(column)
If I try to naively specify a binding in the xaml then I get a
PARSER_BAD_PROPERTY_VALUE when I attempt to load the xaml (so no hope
of setting up the binding after load):
<GradientStop x:Name="bubbleColor" Offset="0.694" Color="{Binding
color}" />
One approach I tried was to create a ValueConverter. Here is the
skeleton of the class I created:
from System import Type
from System.Globalization import CultureInfo
from System.Windows.Data import IValueConverter
class ColorConverter(IValueConverter):
_clrnamespace = "Converters"
__metaclass__ = clrtype.ClrClass
@clrtype.accepts(object, Type, object, CultureInfo)
@clrtype.returns(object)
def Convert(self, value, targetType, parameter, culture):
pass
@clrtype.accepts(object, Type, object, CultureInfo)
@clrtype.returns(object)
def ConvertBack(self, value, targetType, parameter, culture):
pass
As there is a _clrnamespace specified I thought I might then be able
to use this converter in xaml. Trying to reference the ColorConverter
class in the Converters namespace in a resources dictionary again
causes blow ups when loading the xaml.
Setting this up programatically would be ideal. Anyone got any ideas?
All the best,
Michael
