Last week while I was creating the StatusBar XAML for the SDMS application I read in the WPF Unleased book that you could use the grid for specifying width percentages. I typed in the code verbatim and for the life of me could not get my SDMS application to display my left status bar textblock 1/3 the size of the right status bar textblock; both were defaulting to auto (the size of the text). I tried labels, textblocks, etc to no avail. Since I was wasting a lot of time changing, compiling and running, I jumped into XAMLPad ( .NET 2.0 SDK - command prompt) and got the same behavior (as expected) - when I remarked out the StatusBar elements the Grid worked! The issue is with the statusbar and the great thing was XAMLPad showed immediate results. But this blog isn't about XAMLPad - when I get the StatusBar figured out I plan on blogging it thoroughly then...
As I started TDD on my LINQ Query to pull all the project names out of solution file (why explained below) I found myself coding, break pointing, running, examining and doing the same over again (once again losing much time in the process). The thought came to me "google LINQPAD"; to my surprise a program came up and it instantly became my best friend. If the author's intent was to sell his book he succeeded because within 15 minutes of using the application I was clicking the link and purchasing it :)
REQUIREMENT
Architect the CLRAddin WPF Calculator so that I can perform a gap analysis to determine what will be required to update the CompositeWPF application to support a CLRAddin module loader (modules loaded in their own AppDomain). There are to many components to wrap my brain around it so the Architecture phase is neccessary. The problem is I can't reverse engineer the calculator application with Visio for Architects because I'm using Visual Studio 2008 (it isn't supported).
VISION STATEMENT
Complete a Visio Tool that will convert the solution and projects to Visual Studio 2005 so that it can be reverse engineered (generate all the Visio objects required for architecture). Architect the existing WPF Calculator program and perform a gap analysis to create a MAFModuleLoader application for the CompositeWPF.
SOLUTION
Note before I continue: after downloading the LINQPAD if you'll go to C# 3.0 in a Nutshell (bottom left pane) and select "Before You Start" and click Readme.First() it will create the data objects (top left pane in image below) that you can use to run the samples and demos against.
In my case I use the following LINQ query to pull the project names and paths from the solution file:
string filePath = @"D:\MAFCompositeWPF\WPF_Caclulator\WPF Caclulator\DemoApplication.sln";
var query =
from line in File.ReadAllLines(filePath)
.Where(data => data.Contains("Project("))
let record = line.Split(',')
select new
{
Name = record[0].Split('=')[1].Replace("\"",""),
Path = record[1].Replace("\"",""),
Guid = record[2]
};
query.Dump(); // This is a LINQPad command
The above query works against the following data:
