Make Two Buttons Have Equal Width - c#

I have the following:
<DockPanel Height="25" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Button Content="Add" x:Name="bAdd" DockPanel.Dock="Left" />
<Button Content="Remove" x:Name="bRemove" DockPanel.Dock="Right" />
</DockPanel>
Can someone suggest me how to make both the buttons have equal width without setting the Width property of the buttons manually?

If you absolutely don't want to set the Width propety, you can just use a Grid :
<Grid Height="25" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Column="0" Content="Add" x:Name="bAdd" />
<Button Grid.Column="1" Content="Remove" x:Name="bRemove" />
</Grid>
They will both have the same Width this way

<UniformGrid Columns="2">
<Button Content="Ok" Grid.Column="0"/>
<Button Content="Cancel" Grid.Column="1"/>
</UniformGrid>

In addition to the #Amir's answer you can control the numbers of buttons dynamically by binding Visbility.
<UniformGrid Rows="1">
<Button Content="Ok" Visiblity="{Binding IsShowOkayButton, Converter={...}"/>
<Button Content="Cancel" Visiblity="{Binding IsShowCancelButton, Converter={...}}"/>
</UniformGrid>
Use with enumeration:
(Assuming that ConfirmType and IsShowCancelButton in the same ViewModel)
public enum ConfirmType { Confirm, ConfirmOrCancel }
public ConfirmType ConfirmType { get => _ConfirmType;
set {
switch (_ConfirmType)
{
case ConfirmType.Confirm:
IsShowCancelButton = false;
break;
case ConfirmType.ConfirmOrCancel:
IsShowCancelButton = true;
break;
}
// Your RaisePropertyChanged code here
}
}

Data Binding Xamarin Forms

Im quite new to xaml and xamarin.forms and I'm having some trouble with Data Bindings. I know there is a lot of similar questions out there but nothing I've found seem to work. My actual goal is to change background color when I turn a switch on and off. But for now I just want to make the binding work so I'm using a string in the example. My Page.xaml.cs looks like this
[XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)]
public partial class CounterMainPage : ContentPage
{
public CounterMainPage ()
{
InitializeComponent ();
BindingContext = new CounterMainPageViewModel();
}
My viewmodel looks like this:
class CounterMainPageViewModel
{
public Color BackGroundColor = Color.Red;
public string Testning = "Urgent";
}
My Converter class looks like this:
public class BoolToColorConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
var valueAsString = value.ToString();
switch (valueAsString)
{
case ("Urgent"):
{
return Color.FromHex("#EF3D60");
}
case ("Not urgent"):
{
return Color.FromHex("#231F20");
}
default:
{
return Color.FromHex("#231F20");
}
}
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
And last but not least my page.xaml looks like this:
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:c="clr-namespace:BlankClient"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:BlankClient"

First of all "public string Testning = "Urgent";" should be property to bind it to view. Read output and you will see that there is exception that "Testning" property is not found.
Second: you need to implement INotifyPropertyChanged interface (or use framework like Prism) to be able to change property value and inform UI about that change

Bind Combobox in WPF to Entity class

I have a data input form where i have textboxes,comboboxes and datepickers. I want to Bind comboboxes to the DB column so that users select the correct value for insertion. I have attached the viewmodel class and XAML code. In the viewmodel code "private void GetSW()" - this gets all the list of the entity class and "private void addSW()" this adds the record to the DB, Except the combobox binding everything works fine. in XAML i have binded combobox like this but this give blank combobox, please help what i am missing. I researched many topics on this forum but didn't find any solution

I guess you want to display the list of SoftwareDefEntity objects in your ComboBox.
Bind to the SWentities property then:
<ComboBox x:Name="PSW" Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="2" ItemsSource="{Binding SWentities}" DisplayMemberPath="Name" ... />
And raise the PropertyChanged event in its setter of this property:
private List<SoftwareDefEntity> _swEntities;
public List<SoftwareDefEntity> SWentities
{
get { return _swEntities; }
set { _swEntities = value; RaisePropertyChanged(); }
}
This is the code to bind the data to combobox. i did not add any of other controls since those are working fine at your place. Observable collection is easy way to bind combobox .
Here is your View Model..
public class SoftwareVersionListViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
public SoftwareVersionListViewModel()
{
GetSW();
}
//Define the observable collection
private ObservableCollection<SoftwareDefEntity> _SWmappings2 = new ObservableCollection<SoftwareDefEntity>();
//here is your Entity list
public List<SoftwareDefEntity> SWentities
{
get;
set;
}
// Obeservable collection property for access
public ObservableCollection<SoftwareDefEntity> SWmappings2
{
get { return _SWmappings2; }
set
{
_SWmappings2 = value;
OnPropertyChanged("appeventmappings2");
}
}
/// <summary>
/// load the combobox
/// </summary>
private void GetSW() // Method that reads the data from the service layer
{
SWDefService obj = new SWDefService();
SWentities = obj.getSW(); //getSW is the method refered in Service layer
SWentities.ForEach(_SWmappings2.Add);
}
}
and Xaml...
<ComboBox x:Name="ComboBox" ItemsSource="{Binding SWmappings2, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" DisplayMemberPath="PreviousSW" SelectedItem="{Binding PreviousSW, Mode=TwoWay}" Grid.Row="0" >
</ComboBox>

How to assign List<> Object values to textBox (s)

I want to assign the values of the findFamily object to the different TextBox(s) i tried the following code but it's not working would you please suggest me a better way. Thanks in advance.
private void Search_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (SearchFamilyMemberId.Text.Trim() != "")
{
SITDataDataContext con = new SITDataDataContext();
List<Family> findFamily = (from s in con.Families where s.FamilyMemberId.Equals(SearchFamilyMemberId.Text.Trim()) select s).ToList();
if (findFamily.Any())
{
FamilyMemberId.Text = findFamily[0];
FirstName.Text = findFamily[1];
LastName.Text = findFamily[2];
if (findFamily[3]=="Male")
{
Male.IsChecked = true;
}
else
{
Female.IsChecked = true;
}
Phone.Text = findFamily[4];
Address.Text = findFamily[5];
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Family Id not found!");
}
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Invalid Id!");
}

Why don't you use data binding?
For each of the text boxes that you have, bind your TextBox.Text to its corresponding property in the view model, something like this:
<TextBox Text={Binding FirstName} />
Then, assign your FirstName, LastName...etc. properties to values and raise INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged for each of the properties (your view model should implement INotifyPropertyChanged) and your view (i.e. UI) should get updated.
I don't agree with any of the answers posted here. The question doesn't seem to be correct.
If you have a list of Family members. Then how can you show it as a single item. How do you know which item you want to display.
Hence my suggestion is to use a listbox and using data binding, create a view to display the current selected Family member's data in that view.
use foreach loop through list as:
foreach(var a in findFamily)
{
txtbox.text=a[0].tostring();
txtbox2.text=a[1].tostring();
}
or use:
txtbox.text = findFamily.Select(a => a[0].ToString()).FirstOrDefault().ToString();

How to add ListView with datatemplate to Button Flyout in windows store app 8.1 c#

I have a requirement like when I click on Button Flyout should come with the list of dynamic data and specified template. Below is the code in Xaml. But the Flyout is not Loading with any data.
<Button Content="Folders" >
<FlyoutBase.AttachedFlyout>
<Flyout >
<ListView x:Name="lstEmailFolder" >
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="40"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Source="/Images/Favorite_icon.png" Height="30" Width="30" Grid.Column="1" />
<TextBlock Text="{StaticResource Foldername}" Width="30" Height="30" Foreground="White" FontSize="20"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Flyout>
</FlyoutBase.AttachedFlyout>
</Button>
You havent bind Itemsource property to Listview and instead of Text="{StaticResource Foldername}" use Text="{Binding Foldername}"
xaml
<Button Content="Display Flyout">
<Button.Flyout>
<Flyout>
<ListView x:Name="lstEmailFolder" >
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="40"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Foldername}" Width="30" Height="30" Foreground="White" FontSize="20"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Flyout>
</Button.Flyout>
</Button>
c#
this.InitializeComponent();
List<FlyoutData> data = new List<FlyoutData>();
data.Add(new FlyoutData("Folder1"));
data.Add(new FlyoutData("Folder2"));
lstEmailFolder.ItemsSource = data;
public class FlyoutData
{
public string Foldername { get; set; }
public FlyoutData(string Foldername)
{
this.Foldername = Foldername;
}
}

public string GroupBoxHeader
{
get
{
return GroupBoxHeaderName;
}
set
{
GroupBoxHeaderName = value;
OnPropertyChanged("GroupBoxHeader");
}
}
Thus I want to add this Groupbox present in CodecWidgetView.xaml to my grid(NumberofCodecs) in CodecView.xaml on startup. And when I click the AddBoxButton it should dynamically generate the groupbox 4 times and display it :)
Now this is tricky, each Groupbox Header must display different names in every dynamically generated groupbox. Lets say on startup, 2 groupboxes are already displayed with Groupbox Header = "Location 1" and GroupBox Header = "Location 2". On AddgroupBox button click I want to have 4 groupboxes with Header as Groupbox Header = "Location 3" Groupbox Header = "Location 4" Groupbox Header = "Location 5" Groupbox Header = "Location 6".
Is it possible? :)
In the following code i am taking a itemscontrol in "CodecView.xaml" and for that itemscontrol ItemTemplate is your "CodecWidgetView.Xaml" and added description to that datatemplate. i have created another class CodecWidgetViewModel.cs which will be view model for "CodecWidgetView" view.
In the constructor of "CodecViewModel" i am creating instance for "CodecWidgetViewModel" and adding them to observable collection which is source of ItemsControl in the "CodecView"..
so at this point it will generate 2 CodecWidgetViews.. on button click i am adding 4 more instances so it will generate 4 CodecWidgetViews.. You can modify the code in the "mAddGroupBoxCommandExecuted" method as per your requirement..
on Button click
CodecView.XAML
<UserControl>
<UserControl.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="CWDataTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}"/>
<local:CodecWidgetView/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid>
<Grid>
<ScrollViewer Name="GroupBoxScroll" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0" >
<Grid Name="NumberofCodecs" Style="{DynamicResource styleBackground}" >
<ItemsControl ItemTemplate="{StaticResource CWDataTemplate}" ItemsSource="{Binding CodecWidgets}"/>
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
<Button Content="Add Box" Name="AddBoxBtn" Command="{Binding AddGroupBoxCommand}" Click="AddBoxBtn_Click" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
CodecViewModel.cs
Create a property like this
public ObservableCollection<CodecWidgetViewModel> CodecWidgets { get; set; }
And add following code to your CodecViewModel constructor
CodecWidgets = new ObservableCollection<CodecWidgetViewModel>();
CodecWidgets.Add(new CodecWidgetViewModel { Description = "Location 1"});
CodecWidgets.Add(new CodecWidgetViewModel { Description = "Location 2" });
To Add widgets
public void mAddGroupBoxCommandExecuted()
{
CodecWidgets.Add(new CodecWidgetViewModel { Description = "Location 3" });
CodecWidgets.Add(new CodecWidgetViewModel { Description = "Location 4" });
CodecWidgets.Add(new CodecWidgetViewModel { Description = "Location 5" });
CodecWidgets.Add(new CodecWidgetViewModel { Description = "Location 6" });
}
Create following class
CodecWidgetViewModel.cs
public class CodecWidgetViewModel
{
private string _description;
public string Description {
get { return _description; }
set {
_description = value;
}
}
}
