Comment on W14: Multi-column StackPanel for Windows Phone 7 by Jamie Clayton

Jamie Clayton — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 04:24:40 +0000

If you use this control multiple times on the same page, it seems to collect all the items across all the MultiColumnStackPanel controls. So if you have 4 of these panels with 4 controls within, the item count is 16. The control then fails to work as you might expect.
In my case I have 4 custom controls with a single MultiColumnStackPanel with 4 child controls. These controls are all on one Windows Phone page and manipulated visible/collapsed. I was trying to see if the NumberOfColumns could be changed base on the Windows Phone page orientation. The code then falls because of the way Items found (16 items).
That said, I like the simplicity of the approach you have taken.

You need to change some lines in order to use localization bindings:
public static readonly DependencyProperty DefaultTextProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("DefaultText", typeof(string), typeof(EAdvancedTextbox), new PropertyMetadata(""));

public string DefaultText { get { return (string)GetValue(DefaultTextProperty); } set { SetValue(DefaultTextProperty, value); SetDefaultText(); } }

and also add a handler for the loaded event last in the constructor:
this.Loaded += (sender, e) => { SetDefaultText(); };

Without these changes you get an exception when trying to bind values to DefaultText in your xaml files.

Thanks for the article!

Comment on Passing values between Windows Phone 7 pages: Current context of Application by Johan Cuello

You also, can emulate the functionality of the Session or cache variable in web development, This give you the option to have many variables saved and access to them with a key. One advantage of this is the posibility of centralize the store of variable. I prefer this, because is a reusable method in many developments

Unfortunately, I didn’t quite understand the reason behind that, but I guess if we check the original Panorama Template we might find the answer we are looking for.

Not obvious to me, but then again I’m far from a designer. Why is this the case?

Comment on Injecting ViewModels to Views using a custom ViewModelLocator in Windows Phone by eugenedotnet

eugenedotnet — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 05:23:05 +0000

Well, you can also use a static ViewModel for Product Details Page/Control and pass the product there. Static/Singleton ViewModels are very usefull, when you need to persist them in Isolated Storage (for example) during the Execution Model events (Application_Started etc.. ), but at the same time those static ViewModels are not going to be garbage collected during the runtime.
