More on CLR and WPF in WB

[stanl]

I attached a simple mod to Deana's script (from the last thread). Now comes the question. It appears that WPF can be implemented  through 'associating' the correct presentation dlls to some C# code, then creating an xaml file that references the class used in the C# code.  For example, to house a grid

Code Select Expand


<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:wpg="clr-namespace:WPG;assembly=WPG"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
    <Grid>
        <wpg:PropertyGrid AutomaticlyExpandObjects="False"  Width="320" Foreground="BlanchedAlmond" Instance="{Binding ElementName=myGrid}" x:Name="wpgMyControl" ShowDescription="False" ShowPreview="false"  />
    </Grid>
</Window>


So, thought I would ask: Can the 'associations' be accomplished with WB, so that xaml (like above) can be loaded, then associated with C# to populate a grid (from the WPF grid class).

I anticipate....

NO

YES but not in current WB version

YES but so what; grid would display only

It appears that XAML expects a custom assembly named WPG

Code (winbatch) Select Expand


xmlns:wpg="clr-namespace:WPG;assembly=WPG"

Not exactly sure how to reference the assembly from your WinBatch script. I would probably start with trying something like:

Code (winbatch) Select Expand

ObjectClrOption('appbase','C:\{SOMEPATH}\')
ObjectClrOption("use","WPG")


No idea if that would even work....Maybe someone with more familiarity of XAML and custom classes will chime in.
