The issue Gopi encountered can (also) be fixed by changing the XAML:

controls:FloatableWindow x:Class="Demo.DemoChildWindow"

xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=FloatableWindow"

etc

Thanks for the article. It was very interesting and useful. As for me, I'm studying IT Contoling now. It turns out to be a very interesting field . I've found a lot of books in it at the pdf search engine http://pdf.rapid4me.com . And now I was looking for examples. It seems to me this is a good one because it can be widely used and thus of great importance.

Hello Gopi

When I wrote the demo, I also had the same problem. I dont know why, but the VisualStudio changes the code. In order to built the project you need to perform the following steps:

1. Double click on the error in your ErrorWindow, this will lead you to the partial declaration for the DemoChildWindow.

2. DemoChildWindow must derives from System.Windows.Controls.FloatableWindow not from ChildWindow as it is now!!!

3. Next go on line 39, where is your MainWindow declaration. It is probably:
internal System.Windows.Controls.ChildWindow MainWindow;

and it must be

internal System.Windows.Controls.FloatableWindow MainWindow;

4. Go on line 59, where is the initialization of the MainWindow. Probable currently is:

this.MainWindow = ( ( System.Windows.Controls.ChildWindow)( this.FindName( "MainWindow" ) ) );

and the correct is:

this.MainWindow = ( ( System.Windows.Controls.FloatableWindow )( this.FindName( "MainWindow" ) ) );

Hi,

I'm using SL 3 RTW, and the demo code is not compiling, says, "must not specify different base class" pointing to DemoChildWindow .

Thanks,

Gopi

Hi Edward

Yes you note correct between switching different templates the items are hidden. The reason is that there are no templates defines for these dimensions ;)

Nice article. Though, I noticed on Mac OS X + Safari + Silverlight 3 the items are hidden upon resizing most of the time.
