Silverlight Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: Overcome Silverlight Caching when using CRM OData Endpoint

clock August 30, 2019 12:31 by author Peter

The Problem

Recently I was creating a Silverlight based app for one of our customers on my Silverlight 5 Hosting. The applications runs on the contact form embedded in an IFrame. It used OData to retrieve a defined set of columns for the contact. All was looking nice, until I noticed, that after changing some of the columns and saving the contact, my Silverlight application still used old data – even after refreshing the page.

Internally it used an HttpWebRequest object to retrieve data from CRM via a URL like /XrmServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/ContactSet(GUID’{0}’)?$select=FullName. Unfortunately Silverlight aggressively caches Web-Requests. Since the URL for a contact never changes, Silverlight does not even really do a further request and pulls data from the cache instead. The HttpWebRequest class in the Silverlight Framework does not provide means to disable caching. There are a lot of posts and forum topics out there discussing that problem.

The solution
Obviously the problem is, that the URL does not change. To overcome the caching issue, we just have to make sure, the address changes on every request. The solution I came up with was simply adding a made up parameter to the URL. Fortunately the OData Endpoint simply ignores unknown parameters. I called it ignoreCache, but of course any name will do here. The value of that parameter will be set to basically the current time. Now the URL changes on every request and we can work with the actual data:

Dim urlRaw As String = String.Format(“/XrmServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/ContactSet(GUID’{0}’)?$select=FullName&IgnoreCache={1}”, id, Date.Now.TimeOfDay.Ticks)



Silverlight 5 Hosting UK - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to fixed Silverlight Control Content always null from Javascript Access

clock August 16, 2019 09:39 by author Peter

Today, I am going to show you how to fixed Silverlight 5 Control Content always null from Javascript Access. I got an Error when  I try to access the Silverlight object from the client side. Here’s the following snippet code from client site.

function search() {
            try {
                var silverLightControl = document.getElementById("silverlightControl");
                silverLightControl.Content.Page.SetUser(document.getElementById("txtUser").value);
            } catch (e) {
                alert(e.description);
            }
        }

The page with silverlight object embedded
    <div id="silverlightControl">
        <object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%">
          <param name="source" value="ClientBin/SLAspxCommunication.xap"/>
          <param name="onError" value="onSilverlightError" />
          <param name="background" value="white" />
          <param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="5.0.61118.0" />
          <param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
          <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156&v=5.0.61118.0" style="text-decoration:none">
               <img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=161376" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style:none"/>
          </a>
        </object><iframe id="_sl_historyFrame" style="visibility:hidden;height:0px;width:0px;border:0px"></iframe></div>


At the silverlight object class,  we have registered the page as javascriptable object with following line

HtmlPage.RegisterScriptableObject("Page", this);

public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            _users = GenerateList();
            HtmlPage.RegisterScriptableObject("Page", this);
        }


The function looks simple that I just want to call the Silverlight function to search the user, unfortunately. This error message below always popped up.

When I debug the process, it indicate that the control did not contain a Content element.  This Error
var silverLightControl = document.getElementById("silverlightControl");

It will load the Div Control instead of the object container that host the silverlight object.  After I set the id to be silverlightControl for the object tag. then  search function funtion well and access the SetUser function in the silverlight object.
   <div>
        <object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%" id="silverlightControl">
          <param name="source" value="ClientBin/SLAspxCommunication.xap"/>
          <param name="onError" value="onSilverlightError" />
          <param name="background" value="white" />

Silverlight 5 Hosting France - HostForLIFE.eu :: Create an Exception Logger in Silverlight

clock June 21, 2019 11:42 by author Peter

In this post I'll describe the way to handle the exceptions in Silverlight. Whereas running the Silverlight application, if any exception happens it'll attend Silverlight.js and show within the internet explorer as a javascript error. Within the debugging purpose of read typically it's cumbersome to see wherever truly the exception happened.

LogWindow.xaml
This is an easy user control that has an easy textbox:
<TextBox
AcceptsReturn="True"
TextAlignment="Left"
TextWrapping="NoWrap"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
x:Name="logText"
FontFamily="Courier New"
FontSize="12" IsReadOnly="True" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" />

Logger.cs
This class are used to print the exception and notice the stacktrace. it's an enum for the exception types viz. DEBUG,INFO,WARN,ERROR and FATAL.This class contains an easy delegate to add text to the log window.
The static property _instance is about by the LogWindow.xaml.cs go in the load event as:
Logger._instance = logText;
So that it will print whatever exception happenes in your application. The LogException methodology expects exception object because the parameter and find the exception information using the StackFrame class.

StackFrame frame = new StackFrame(true);
callerSignature =  string.Format("@{0}:{1}:{2}", frame.GetMethod(), frame.GetFileName(), frame.GetFileLineNumber());


To use this method in your catch block you just simply need to call the static method as:
Catch(Exception ex)
{
Logger.LogException(ex);
}

Hope this tutorial works for you!



Silverlight 6 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: Print Document In Silverlight

clock May 23, 2019 05:30 by author Peter

How we can print the document in a Silverlight application.

Step 1
We have the PrintDocument Class which defines a reusable object that sends output to a printer.
    PrintDocument
    The PrintDocument object encapsulates all the information needed to print a page. They associate with the control which content can be print. They handle the events and operations of printing.
    Namespace - System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument

    [C#]

    public class PrintDocument : Component

    
We can create an instance of the PrintDocument class, set the properties that describe how to print, and call the Print method to start the printing process. Handle the PrintPage event where you specify the output to print, by using the Graphics included in the PrintPageEventArgs.
    Associate control to Print document
        private void printDoc_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e) { 
            // print current page 
            e.PageVisual = printPage; 
        } 


Step 2
Create one user control page name as PrintPage.Xaml and design header and footer in this user control page like as following.
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"> 
        <Grid.RowDefinitions> 
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> 
            <RowDefinition /> 
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> 
        </Grid.RowDefinitions> 
        <!--Header--> 
        <Grid> 
            <TextBlock Text="HEADER" /> 
        </Grid> 
        <!--Body--> 
        <ItemsControl Name="BodyItemsControl" Grid.Row="1" Margin="0,24" /> 
        <ItemsControl Name="TemplateItemsControl"> 
            <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate> 
                <DataTemplate> 
                    <Grid> 
                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> 
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" /> 
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" /> 
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> 
                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> 
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding ID}" Margin="2" /> 
                        <TextBlock Text=" - " Grid.Column="1" Margin="2" /> 
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}" Grid.Column="2" TextWrapping="Wrap" MaxWidth="500" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="2" /> 
                    </Grid> 
                </DataTemplate> 
            </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate> 
        </ItemsControl> 
        <Grid Grid.Row="2"> 
            <TextBlock Text="FOOTER" /> 
        </Grid> 

Step 3
In MainPage.Xaml create an instance of PrintDocument like as following.
    public MainPage() { 
        InitializeComponent(); 
        this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(MainPage_Loaded); 
    } 
    void MainPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { 
        GetItems(); 
        printDoc.PrintPage += newEventHandler < PrintPageEventArgs > (printDoc_PrintPage); 
    } 
    //following items for printing. 
    privatevoid GetItems() { 
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { 
            items.Add(newItem() { 
                ID = i, 
                    Description = "This is Print Document " + i 
            }); 
        } 
    } 
    //Handling the event when we're printing: 
    private void printDoc_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e) { 
        PrintPage printPage = new PrintPage(); 
        // print current page 
        e.PageVisual = printPage; 
        e.HasMorePages = true; 
        break; 
    } 
 

Step 4
Add a button to the MainPage.Xaml and print the document when the button is clicked,
    <Button Content="Button" Grid.Row="1" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="42,56,0,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Click="button1_Click" /> 
    private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) 
    { 
        printDoc.Print("Printing A Page"); 
    } 


Step 5

Output look like as following,

Silverlight Hosting France - HostForLIFE.eu :: Use ScrollViewer Layout Panel in Silverlight

clock May 17, 2019 11:36 by author Peter

In this post allow us to understand how to use ScrollViewer panel Layout inside a Silverlight application. ScrollViewer is an additional layout container, that we don’t use constantly. It's chiefly useful showing contents in an exceedingly scrollable panel such as ListBox or Editor window. ListBox, TextBox, RichTextBox internally uses ScrollViewer to implement the scrolling functionality. Allow us to discuss the implementation in this post.

As usual, open up visual studio and choose Silverlight project. We will discover there's a Grid layout in your MainPage. xaml. Eliminate the default Grid layout and merely drag and drop the Stack panel Layout into our application. The code for this looks such as:
<StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot" > </StackPanel>

Inside the stack panel I am just defining 12 different rectangles.  And this is the code that I used:
<StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot" Orientation="Vertical" Width="100">
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Red" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Green" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Orange" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Tomato" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="WhiteSmoke" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Green" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Blue" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Yellow" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Azure" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Gold" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Blue" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Violet" />
        </StackPanel>


In case we compile the above code as it's, we will notice all of the rectangles however no scroll bar result. Thus in an effort to get scroll bar effect we ought to put the above stack panel inside scroll viewer and ought to offer fixid width towards the scroll viewer. And this is the code snippet:
<ScrollViewer Height="200" >
        <StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot" Orientation="Vertical" Width="100">
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Red" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Green" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Orange" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Tomato" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="WhiteSmoke" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Green" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Blue" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Yellow" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Azure" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Gold" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Blue" />
            <Rectangle Height="50" Width="100" Fill="Violet" />
        </StackPanel>
    </ScrollViewer>

Finally, Run the code and here is the result:



European Silverlight 6 Hosting HostForLIFE.eu :: How to access controls in DataGrid TemplateColumn header?

clock April 25, 2019 11:20 by author Peter

A data grid view is a rectangular control made of columns and rows. I have a DataGrid where I have included some controls in column header. Each column is a Template column. These controls appear just below the column header which are used for entering filter information. Here's the issue on my code on Silverlight 5.


VisualTreeHelper class helps to iterate through the visual tree of the xaml. Using it we can find the child and parent controls of the rendered controls. Lets check the Visual Tree of the rendered control using Silverlight Spy.

The Following Method do a search over the child controls with in a control recursively and returns the control based on Name.

private object GetChildControl(DependencyObject parent, string controlName)

    Object tempObj = null;
    int count = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
    for (int counter = 0; counter < count; counter++)
    {
        //Get The Child Control based on Index
        tempObj = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, counter);
        //If Control's name Property matches with the argument control
        //name supplied then Return Control
        if ((tempObj as DependencyObject).GetValue(NameProperty).ToString() == controlName)
            return tempObj;
        else //Else Search Recursively
        {
            tempObj = GetChildControl(tempObj as DependencyObject, controlName);
            if (tempObj != null)
                return tempObj;
        }
    }
    return null;
}

Make sure that the same has to be delegated to UI thread using Dispatcher. As the controls created using UI Thread can not be accessed from other thread.
//Access the Grid Header Controls
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate
{
    var hyperlinkControl = GetChildControl(dataGrid1, "hlSort");
    var checkControl = GetChildControl(dataGrid1, "chkSelectAll");
});



Silverlight 6 with Free ASP.NET Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Use Silverlight Media Player to Play Video in ASP.NET

clock April 11, 2019 11:20 by author Peter

In this article, I am going to explain you about how to play (embed) WMV video file in ASP.NET using Silverlight Media Player. To use the SilverLight Media Player Control in ASP.NET, you will have to first download and install at least: Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 and SilverLight 2.0 SDK.

Once all these have installed, you can start building your Media Player Application. You will have to drag the MediaPlayer component from the Toolbox as shown in figure below:

By default there are no skins available when you install the .SilverLight Tools you can get the skin files in the Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v2.0\Libraries\Server\MediaPlayerSkin Folder. Just add the skins to your project using Add Existing Items in Visual Studio. Next, using the smart tag to choose the skin and add the Media File to be played:

You can also set other parameters like:

  • Volume - sets the volume of the Media Player Control
  • Auto-Play – determines whether the media file will be auto played or not when it is loaded.

Then, you can try to set the Media Source from code behind as shown below:

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    MediaPlayer1.MediaSource = "~/files/Butterfly.wmv";
}


VB.Net

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        MediaPlayer1.MediaSource = "~/files/Butterfly.wmv"
End Sub

Once all these settings have been done, you can run the application. The figure below displays the SilverLight Media Player:

Now, you're done!



European Silverlight 6 Hosting :: Retrieving Data in Silverlight: Where is my data?

clock March 27, 2019 09:46 by author Peter

So I was plugging right along in Silverlight using LINQ to asynchronously pull data from our database into my C# code. Everything was going great until I attempted to pull data from one table and its related tables all in one query. Here is what I found which resolved my data problem.

In my Library class I have the following code that enables my ASP.NET code to query a User by UserID and return a User object along with their UserFavorites and Illustration objects. This gives me everything I need to know about the user and their favorite illustrations.
public IQueryable<MyLibrary.User> GetUserByID(int userID)

{
    return myContext.Users.Include("UserFavorites").Include("UserFavorites.Illustration")
        .Where(u => u.UserID == userID);
}

In Silverlight I had a need to perform the same query using LINQ. After much searching on the web I found the two things that were needed to make this happen.
1. Use "Expand" instead of "Include"

2. Instead of "UserFavorites.Illustration" replace the "." with a "/" to get "UserFavorites/Illustration".

    int userID = 0;
    var qUser = ((DataServiceQuery<User>)(from myUser in service.Users
                  where myUser.UserID.Equals(userID)
                  select myUser))
                .Expand("UserFavorites")
                .Expand("UserFavorites/Illustration");

Now I have all of my data and I am happy once again. Using the Expand on my query is very nice in that I can get all of my data in one asynchronous call.

Silverlight 6 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: Create an Analog Clock application in Silverlight

clock March 22, 2019 11:17 by author Peter

Today, I will explain you how to create an analog clock apps in Silverlight 6. Of course open new projectin visual studio and select a Silverlight project. In Mainpage.xaml  draw an ellipse which will serve as background for our Analog clock. The code looks as following:

 

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <Ellipse Margin="165,67,145,83" Fill="Goldenrod" Width="330"
         Height="330" Opacity="0.7"/>
    </Grid>

Then, draw another ellipse in the same grid which will serve as Outer Rim for our analog clock. The Complete code looks on the below:
<Ellipse Height="330" Margin="156,58,154,92" Width="330" 
Stroke="Goldenrod">
            <Ellipse.Fill>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.84,0.87" Opacity="0.9"  
StartPoint="0.164,0.129">
                    <GradientStop Color="Goldenrod"/>
                    <GradientStop Color="Gold" Offset="0.7"/>
                </LinearGradientBrush>
            </Ellipse.Fill>
        </Ellipse>              


Next, I want to draw another ellipse in the same grid which will serve as Bevel for our analog clock. And this is the code that I used:
        <Ellipse Height="290" Margin="156,58,154,92" Width="290" Stroke="Goldenrod">
            <Ellipse.Fill>
                    <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.84,0.87" Opacity="0.5" StartPoint="0.164,0.129">
                    <GradientStop Color="Goldenrod"/>
                    <GradientStop Color="Goldenrod" Offset="0.987"/>
                </LinearGradientBrush>
            </Ellipse.Fill>
        </Ellipse>     

Now draw another ellipse in the same grid which will serve as a Face for our analog clock. This is the code snippet:
<Ellipse Height="270" Margin="176,78,174,112" Width="270"
         Stroke="Goldenrod" Fill="Yellow" Opacity="0.3"/>

Now we are going to draw the hour,minute and seconds hand. Then draw a rectangle in the same grid which will serve as a Hour hand for our analog clock with the code below:
<Rectangle x:Name="hourHand" Height="59" Margin="315.75,180,314.25,0"
        VerticalAlignment="Top" Fill="Black" Stroke="Black" Width="10" RenderTransformOrigin="0.525,1.428">
            <Rectangle.RenderTransform>
                <RotateTransform x:Name="hourHandAnimation"/>
            </Rectangle.RenderTransform>
        </Rectangle>


Now draw another rectangle in the same grid which will serve as a Minute hand for our analog clock. And this is the code that I used:
<Rectangle x:Name="minuteHand" Height="80" Margin="316.75,160,315.25,0"       
VerticalAlignment="Top" Fill="Black" Stroke="Black" Width="8"
        RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,1.312" >
            <Rectangle.RenderTransform>
                <RotateTransform x:Name="minuteHandAnimation"/>
            </Rectangle.RenderTransform>
        </Rectangle>

Now we are going to draw another rectangle in the same grid which will serve as a Seconds hand for our analog clock. And this is the code that I used:
<Rectangle Height="80" Margin="318.25,160,316.75,0"
        VerticalAlignment="Top" Fill="#FFFF0000" Stroke="#FF000000"
        Width="5" RenderTransformOrigin="0.10,1.312" >
            <Rectangle.RenderTransform>
                <RotateTransform x:Name="secondHandAnimation"/>
            </Rectangle.RenderTransform>
        </Rectangle>

Now, our design part is complete. Now we have to give animations to our hour, minute and second’s hands. For this, let us take a storyboard. We should write the code for storyboard outside the Grid.  The complete code for all the three animations is as follows.
<UserControl.Resources>
        <Storyboard x:Name="silverlightClock">
            <DoubleAnimation x:Name="hourAnimation"                            
                             Storyboard.TargetName="hourHandAnimation"
                             Storyboard.TargetProperty="Angle"
                             Duration="12:0:0" RepeatBehavior="Forever" To="360"/>          
            <DoubleAnimation x:Name="minuteAnimation"
                             Storyboard.TargetName="minuteHandAnimation"
                             Storyboard.TargetProperty="Angle"
                             Duration="1:0:0" RepeatBehavior="Forever"/>                                                                
            <DoubleAnimation x:Name="secondAnimation"                            
                             Storyboard.TargetName="secondHandAnimation"
                             Storyboard.TargetProperty="Angle"
                             Duration="0:1:0" RepeatBehavior="Forever"/>                                   
 </Storyboard>
 </UserControl.Resources>

Now we have to write the code for these 3 animations (hourAnimation, minuteAnimation  and secondAnimation ) in MainPage.xaml.cs. The code looks as follows.
private void startClock(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            System.DateTime currentTime = DateTime.Now;
double hourAngle = ((float)currentTime.Hour) / 12 * 360 +                 
currentTime.Minute/2;          
hourAnimation.From = hourAngle;
            hourAnimation.To = hourAngle + 360;         
           double minuteAngle = ((float)currentTime.Minute) / 60 * 360;
            minuteAnimation.From = minuteAngle;
            minuteAnimation.To=minuteAngle+360;
           double secondAngle = ((float)currentTime.Second) / 60 * 360;
            secondAnimation.From = secondAngle;
            secondAnimation.To = secondAngle + 360;
            silverlightClock.Begin();
        }                          

We need to call the method “startClock” in our grid control and assign it to “Loaded” property of the grid control. The code for this looks as follows.
  <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" Loaded="startClock"> 
</Grid>


Finally! Our Analog clock is ready. Now you should refresh and see it.
