Technorati Tags: LINQ , Visual Studio , C# At the very beginning of my blogging days, I mentioned 'LINQ' as a technology that I was very interested in Stumbling Through... then I never mentioned it again. Well, never fear all you 'Stumbling Through' fans...
So I thought about another scenario that I'd like to prove out using databinding in WPF: Lets create a databound combobox that displays a dropdown list of all possible states, selecting the state of the currently selected address. That was...
Our project now has a listbox bound to the full name of a collection of people, and textboxes that allow the user to update the first or last name of the selected person and have that change reflected in the listbox. What I'd like to add now is...
We left off previously with a listbox bound to a custom collection of People, showing their first name in the list. What I want to do now is drop two textboxes onto the window that display the first and last name of the person selected in the listbox...
I have a love-hate relationship with databinding. I believe it was first introduced to me very early in my career, either in some incarnation of Visual Basic (4, perhaps?) or in the language of choice for my first job out of college: Centura Team Builder...
We left off with a HotTrackListBox.xaml file, but never made a place to put it. Since the purpose of this exercise is to create a library of style, a term I should trademark, our first order of business is to create a Visual Studio project to house this...

Finally, we are on the last leg of our transparency journey: Making the selector transparent. The way to do this is a little confusing, as we need to create a custom ‘SolidColorBrush’ (with a color of Transparent) and apply it to the listbox’s HighlightBrushKey...
There are now two issues remaining with my transparent list box: Multi-line list items (to remove that horizontal scrollbar) and a transparent or otherwise pretty-looking row selection indicator. The first task will probably be the easier one, so I’ll...
We left off last time with a simple form that has an image as its background. Not too impressive, and not what I set out to do with transparency! Let’s drag a listbox out there and plunk it down right in the center: Ah, yes. That is exactly the look I...
My Goal : A transparent, multi-line list box My Tools : Visual Studio 2008 RC1 When a form has a nice background image, nothing is more visibly jarring then a big, white, clunky listbox plopped down right in the middle – especially if that listbox contains...
