Migrating Legacy WPF Applications to Prism - Part 1(cloudstore.blogspot.com)

submitted by dereklakin(1565) 3 years, 7 months ago

This is the first of several posts on my journey migrating a legacy application to use the Composite Application Guidance for WPF, which (like Brian Noyes) I prefer to call Prism, mainly because it's shorter, but it's also cooler! I've watched the "Brian Noyes on Prism" dnr TV episode intently, read through the guidance documentation, I've done the hands-on lab, all of the quick starts and dissected and analysed the StockTraderRI sample application, so now I figure I'm ready to start cranking some Prism code for our legacy application. read more...

Creating a Custom View Mode that Supports a Template Selector(cloudstore.blogspot.com)

The DataTemplateSelector enables you to specify your own custom logic that determines which DataTemplate should be applied to each item. This article shows how to create a custom view mode for the ListView control that supports a DataTemplateSelector to enable dynamic selection of the DataTemplate for each item. read more...

User Interface Controls in Visual Basic 2005(msdn.microsoft.com)

submitted by dereklakin(1565) 6 years, 2 months ago

In the world of conversion of Visual Basic 6 applications, little causes more concern than controls that just won't convert. Between in-project controls that you have the source code for, custom ActiveX controls that you bought back in 1997, and the built-in Microsoft controls that have no real conversion path, the task is not easy. There is hope, however. Code in Visual Basic 6 user controls convert fairly well to Visual Basic 2005. You can use some third party controls via interop. Tools are provided in Visual Studio 2005 to assist with OCX proxy creation. All is not lost. read more...
