This is the one that I use in my WPF/MVVM application. It too, was written for Silverlight, but it works for WPF as well. In fact, it looks the same as the example that #anivas provided, but I prefer this one as it describes the implementation better.
WPF chart doesn't support dynamic binding of series collection. You can easily achieve this using an attached property. This is an example in Silverlight but you can use it in WPF as well.

I just worked with C# but do not have any idea on Silverlight so I am trying to know if there is a possibility of following.
I have 2 possible layouts for my list box items. so I have created 2 different user controls. Which are completely different that I cannot comprimise and put them in a single control and disable and enable on certain condition. I assumed that this approach will delay the load (correct me if I am wrong). So I am looking for a possibility if I can switch them from xaml. I can switch the control in c# code and even populate them. But data population in c# is a pain when compared to silverlight. I am asking this question only because I want to use data binding.
Is there a way to switch them from xaml. or is there a efficient way of doing this. Even a link of any article that can help is fine.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe DataTemplateSelector will be suitable for you.
I would disagree that data population in Silverlight is a pain.
On the contrary, this is actually one of the strongest benefits with Silverlight and Xaml, because of the excellent data binding capabilities you have access to.
So if you don't already, make sure you actually are utilizing this properly.
I don't know exactly how you would like to switch between these different views, but one way would certainly to bind the visibility of your views to another element on the page that determines which of them should be visible.
That way you can do it within Xaml.
Currently I am searching for the best way for paginating the records in WPF datagrid.
I have found one best article which provide best way for paginating records in Silverlight over here.
See it provides also a fabulous demo.
Here is one screen shot.
But when I have trying it to implement it in WPF I could not implement it?
I could not found PagedCollectionView class and also could not found the alternative XAML code of the Silverlight code shows is below screen shot.
Could any one provide or suggest the best way for paginating the records in WPF
as like Silverlight?
You can grab the PagedCollectionView source code from here and compile it into your WPF project. I've done this for a WPF project in the past and it works just fine. However, you won't have the supporting types like DataPager, but it's easy enough just to write your own or throw some buttons on your view that page through the collection.
WPF DataGrid doesn't come with pagination by default. You have to have your own custom implementation. Here is a sample. The sample implements First/Previous as ViewModel commands, however I would advise you to move these commands as part of the control and make a custom DataGrid control that you can reuse across application.
I'm new to wpf and have just been given a project to create a set of custom controls which will be used to make a previous windows forms application more manageable and current. However I cannot seem to find much info with regards to customising the built in Listbox, this would involve preferably replacing the scroll bar and the +/- buttons with custom images etc..
Just wondered if anyone knows how to get at these ?
Thanks in advance.
Check here for the default control template of the listbox.You can customize the scrollviewer there to do what you are looking for.Check the below article to get started
Using Templates to Customize WPF Controls
Learn about WPF styling and templating. Other than that, the question is too generic for SO. Read the article (and perhaps google some more articles on the topic), try to style the listbox and come back with specific issues. WPF is not easy to get into, but it is definitely worth the time.
Based on the sample from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms771725.aspx
which is for WPF. I wanted same sample for silverlight as my requirements are same. but i get
"AG_E_PARSER_BAD_PROPERTY_VALUE" pointing to
in my XAML (FYI: xmlns:dat="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Data;assembly=System.Windows.Data").
Please help me in achieving the same.
There is not a direct 1-to-1 match between WPF and Silverlight nor the XAML used in those technologies. The error you are getting implies that the XAML is trying to set a property that either doesn't exist or doesn't support the value being applied to it.
To track this down, you'll need to look into the differences between the version of Silverlight you are using and the version of WPF that you are porting from. Just googling or binging gives quite a few links regarding this.
Instead of arranging controls on a winform form by specifying pixel locations, I'd like to lay it out similar to the way you'd layout a form in html. This would make it scale better (for larger fonts etc).
Does anyone know of a layout library that allows you to define the form in xml and lay it out similar to html?
Have you checked out the TableLayoutPanel and FlowLayoutPanel in the .NET framework? It might be what you are looking for.
Yeah, it's called WPF :)
Seriously, there are some newer panel types in WinForms 2.0 that will let you place controls without setting Location and Size. They are FlowLayoutPanel and TableLayoutPanel.
You should also look into the AutoSize property. It takes care of sizing when the value of the label, say, changes. Also, don't forget about Docking and Anchoring.
Once you master those concepts, writing a little parser that converts from XML to controls shouldn't be that hard if you feel you really need it.
Not sure there is anything perfect for this.
MyXAML was kicking about a few years ago that enabled you to add forms in XML as opposed to embedding them into the binary. Not sure if that project is dead or not.
WinForm does have the flow layout control already
However if you want to do this kind of thing properly I think the only answer is to move to WPF.
You may also want to consider using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) instead of WinForms - WPF has an XML declarative markup language (XAML) that works well for defining scalable UI.
I've already got something like MyXAML - my screens are loaded from xml files already. It suffers the same problem as MyXAML which is that you still have to position the controls with pixel positions whereas I want something like html with the automatic flow and tables and such.
I think TableLayoutPanel might be what I'm looking for.
The only one I know of is a 3rd party from DevExpress called the LayoutControl..
