I have a data grid in which I need to freeze the rightmost column.
It is no problem to freeze the columns from left to right with the FrozenColumnCount property.
Does anyone of you know how to do this?
Thx in advance,
TJ
There is no way to Freeze a column to the right if you want the others to scroll. If this functionality is critical to your app I would suggest investigating the third party Silverlight grid controls on the market e.g. Telerik, Infragistics etc

I've got a menu strip, inside which I want to embed my company logo and align it to the right.
My project is on a Windows Form Application, sorry for not including this before.
Several google-trips have found little, this is probably my not using the proper terminology.
What is the best way to do this? I'd also like it to be flexible, so preferably no fixed-position methods.
Thank you.
Dock a TableLayoutPanel to the Top of the Form. Make it have one row and two columns. Put your MenuStrip in the left column, and a PictureBox in the right column for the Logo. Set the right column to AutoSize, the Row to AutoSize, and the TableLayoutPanel to AutoSize. Also set the SizeMode of the PictureBox to Autosize.
Being new to silverlight I'm struggling to 'get going' with the following.
Basically I wish to create some form of grid like control (custom or user?).
The idea is similar to that of a planner. Along the top are times (set intervals). Downwards are subjects. Then over the grid like background rectangles (or something) indicate when the subject is planned for.
The actual design of the above is not the issue. i.e. a grid with ractangles overlaid. But my issue is I wish this grid to be scrolled up and down (with bounds fixing the top and bottom when the subject lines start and end). And also the grid to be scrolled left and right (with bounds fixing how far left and right it can scroll, current time & 3 days into future).
Based on the above needs, I don't wish to create a control which is very large, and just dragged into view (unless this is the only way?) but instead show the grid at a current time and when dragged dynamically load the next few hours worth of content, possibly with a few hours buffer.
The appearance I am seeking is it looking like it is one massive control, but truely its not, its dynamic.
Does this make sense? Am I worrying about nothing? Should I create a massive grid well into the future and then just handle the load of data dynamically over the top? Its just my concern if I want a grid 3 month into the future this would be massive and a waste of memory.
I'm struggling to find examples on the net, but feel this maybe to do with me not knowing what to search for. This isn't about getting a detailed answer and someone doing it for me, but instead about guidance pointing me in the right direction.
Many thanks
About the up-down scroll: you can simply put a grid containing your data in a ScrollViewer control - this will handle all the scrolling for you. Another solution would be using a listbox control - this is better if you use MVVM. You can bind it to a data source and set as data template a custom control.
For the left-right scroll. I'm thinking you could use gestures for this. Like - catch left-to-right and right-to-left flicks and change the data in your grid / listbox according to the gesture's direction. You could also place two buttons at the top of the grid to handle scrolling from one day to the other (just like in the calendar controls: gestures + buttons).
I want to make a WPF Grid in which users can drag and drop controls from one cell to another and when the user is dragging I need to draw tips on the screen, like arrows. It's as if the tips were in ANOTHER LAYER in the screen. That is, they are not drawn IN the grid I mentioned.
The problem is: I don't know how to OVERLAP a "transparent" canvas over my Grid so that I can draw on it.
Do you experienced guys have some tip? THANKS.
I think what you are looking for are Adorners. You can read something about them here:

Heres an example with a listView control, pretty good.
Heres a tut also decent.
And even a section in msdn
I got a canvas which has many uiElements as its children.
When i get the xaml and paste it in Expression blend it displays it well.
Now when i select a path in blend and resize it by dragging the height of it grows successfully increasing the width and the rest of the coordinates are automatically calculated.
I need to give this kind of functionality to my users for the elements on my canvas.
Just wondering if any one has any suggestions or links which can help me.
Thanks

You want to look at the Adorner Framework of WPF. That article gives an overview and is a good place to get started.
Here is an Adorner sample that probably does what you want.
I'm currently using the Surface SDK 1.0 in Blend and VS2008, and I've encountered a problem: I use a scatterview over the whole screen. I also have a grid in the middle of the screen. The panel in the middle is quite annoying because my scatterviewitems can easily get lost BEHIND the grid, and since the grid is locked in position, there is no way for me to retrieve them.
It would be desireable to add "walls" around the grid, so that my scatterviewitems would bounce off it, as it does at the edges of the scatterview.
How can I solve this problem?
Just hook up to "ScatterManipulationCompleted" and check if the item is under your grid. If yes start a Storyboard which moves the Center of your ScatterViewItem back out of the grids background.
Also take a look at the surface community forums, there are a lot posts regarding ScatterViewItem and collision detection.
