  • Two small issues with Windows Phone 7 ApplicationBar buttons (and workaround)

    0 comments  /  posted by  Silverlight Show  on  Jun 08, 2010 (5 days ago)
    Tags: Buttons , Issues , Windows Phone 7 , Laurent Bugnion
    Laurent Bugnion has found two issues with Windows Phone 7 ApplicationBar buttons so he wanted to post the workaround he used to make this work.

    The issue here is that pressing a button on the ApplicationBar does not remove the focus from the TextBox where the user is currently typing. If the button is a Save button, this is super annoying: The Binding does not get updated on the data object, the object is saved anyway with the old state, and noone understands what just happened.

    In order to solve this, you can make sure that the Binding is updated explicitly when the button is pressed[...].

     



  • Handling DataGrid.SelectedItems in an MVVM-friendly manner

    If you are wondering if there is an MVVM-friendly way to get a DataGrid’s SelectedItems into the ViewModel, read this blog post of Laurent Bugnion and find out the answer.

    The issue there is as old as the DataGrid (that’s not very old but still): SelectedItem (singular) is a DependencyProperty and can be databound to a property in the ViewModel. SelectedItems (plural) is not a DependencyProperty.

    Thankfully the answer is very simple: Use EventToCommand to call a Command in the ViewModel, and pass the SelectedItems collection as parameter.

  • Be careful when installing the Blend Windows Phone 7 Add-In

    Laurent Bugnion reports a small issue with the release of the Windows Phone Developer Tools CTP (April 2010 Refresh) refresh and gives you an advice how to cope with the problem.

    The issue is that the Expression Blend Add-in Preview for Windows Phone (April Refresh) is not compatible with Blend 4.0.20408.0, which was the public RC (release candidate).

    A few days ago, the Blend team released a fix for an issue that was sometimes causing a crash when Blend was starting up. This new release (V4.0.20421.0) was not very well announced however, and many people (including me) did not install it. After all, Blend did not crash at startup of either of my machines, so I didn’t deem necessary to install yet a new RC.

    However, it is now clear that the Windows Phone 7 Add-In needs this latest-and-greatest version to work. If you have Blend 4.0.20408.0, you won’t be able to work with Windows Phone 7 in Blend.

  • Multithreading in Windows Phone 7 emulator: A bug

    0 comments  /  posted by  Silverlight Show  on  Mar 22, 2010 (2 months ago)
    Tags: Windows Phone 7 , Laurent Bugnion
    Laurent Bugnion dicovered a bug with multi-threading on the Windows Phone emulator.

    Multithreading is supported in Windows Phone 7 Silverlight applications, however the emulator has a bug (which I discovered and was confirmed to me by the dev lead of the emulator team): If you attempt to start a background thread in the MainPage constructor, the thread never starts. The reason is a problem with the emulator UI thread which doesn’t leave any time to the background thread to start.
