I have a problem when I insert a InvokeCommandAction (Blend 4 SDK) in WPF 4.0. The usercontrol is not displayed and I've got some exceptions. (log on bottom) Without the line in my xaml code, there is no problem (but no event trigger). I have tested this part of code in an external light project, and it's work perfectly !! Maybe InvokeCommandAction is not compatible with something in may app, but what ? <UserControl x:Class="Project.Views.Menu.TestView" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mc="http:/

Here is what I have so far: <Image Source="{Binding ImageSource"} /> <Button Content"Text" ImageSource="path/image.png" /> I know something isn't right here. I guess I can't see where ImageSource is defined. I have several of these buttons and just want to have a unique image for each one. I have a button template that I am using and it works great for the text. <Label Content="TemplateBinding Content" /> Thanks for all your help! In your case, it can be very easy! Add the images as resources to your project, then in XAML use something like the following: <Button HorizontalAlignment="Left"

I am building an application in VS2010 with wpfToolkit 3.5 as referenced assembly. I tried to add some VisualStates from ExpressionBlend 4 and I am getting the following error when I am trying to build the project. The type 'System.Windows.VisualState' exists in both 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.0\PresentationFramework.dll' and 'c:\Program Files (x86)\WPF Toolkit\v3.5.50211.1\WPFToolkit.dll' this is the code <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups> <VisualStateGroup x:Name="ShowHideRoomNumber"> <VisualState x:Name="Show"/> <VisualState x:Name=

I have created a simple Expression Blend 4 project with a DatePicker. I edited the template for the DatePicker, including its DatePickerTextBox, changing the watermark text from "Select a date" to "dd/mm/yyyy". The resulting XAML in Blend applies a style to the original DatePicker, and this style is stored as a resource in Window.Resources. However the editing done for the watermark text does not take effect. Any ideas? Thanks. (Please note, i do not want to resort to code, i would like to understand how this can be achieved using Blend.). Here is the XAML for the window: xmlns="http://schemas

I have a WPF app which I am using Blend to style. One of my view models is of the type: public Dictionary<DateTime, ObservableCollection<MyViewModel>> TimesAndEvents But when I try to create some sample data in Expression Blend it simply doesnt create the XAML for this property. Can you create a data type like this in XAML? The non-design time support is killing my productivity. Any more I've gone the route of creating a Design Time Instance of my Viewmodel in my Locator that I reference as @ChrisW suggested above: d:DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource Locator}, Path=DesignTimeVM}" So

how well can LightSwitch work together with Blend? I saw in some videos that you can use custom Silverlight control in LS and naturally I can create them with Blend. But can Blend in itself be used to customize the screens of a LightSwitch application? It seems LS doesn't use Xaml but puts all screen in an application.lsml file which is invalid for Blend. Is there support coming here? Thanks in advance. No. You will never be able to customize the LightSwitch 'Screens' in Blend, because as you have seen, they live inside the application.lsml file. If you build a Shell Extension, you could use
