WPF custom control and adding DependencyProperty to custom control


To create custom con07ol in WPF, choose WPF Custom Con07ol Library project in VS2010. Then rename the default added class to your choice. I am 07ying to create a custom list box with few user added properties in it. Then add a WPF project which will use this custom list box in it. So my solution s07ucture is as follows –

Now I am going to add dependency properties in the class file. These properties will be then available in Properties window once you use the con07ol in any WPF application.

Following are the  properties I added –
public class AmsCheckBoxList : ListBox
    {
        static AmsCheckBoxList()
        {
            DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(AmsCheckBoxList), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(AmsCheckBoxList)));           
        }

      
       public s07ing MutuallyExclusiveIndexes
        {
            get { return (s07ing)GetValue(MutuallyExclusiveIndexesProperty); }
            set { SetValue(MutuallyExclusiveIndexesProperty, value); }
        }


        // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for MutuallyExclusiveIndexes.  This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
        public static readonly DependencyProperty MutuallyExclusiveIndexesProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register("MutuallyExclusiveIndexes", typeof(s07ing), typeof(AmsCheckBoxList), new UIPropertyMetadata(null));     

    } 

In Visual Studio 2010, type "propdp" (without the double quotes) and press the Tab key, the Dependency Property snippet will be generated, then just fill in the missing bits.
Now build the application, add reference of WPF Custom Con07ol Library to the WPF application. The con07ol will be automatically get available in the Toolbox as shown –
 

 

Add the con07ol in WPF MainWindows.xaml file and open properties window for custom con07ol. Here you can view the user defined custom dependency property listed in Properties window.
 

 

Hope this helps.

Cheers…
Happy Con07olling!!!

The request has both SAS authentication scheme and 'Bearer' authorization scheme. Only one scheme should be used

Image
While doing testing after doing a POC on Securing Logic App with Azure Active Directory authentication , where I have put logic app behind APIM and before passing the request to logic app, apim does validation of the token.  I was encountered with an error "The request has both SAS authentication scheme and 'Bearer' authorization  scheme.  Only one scheme should be used." Why it happened After validating the token which is part of the header i.e. Authorization, APIM forwards the request as it is to backend. As  Logic app is configured as  back end , it's url already consist of SAS signature plus the request also has Authorization section and this is the problem. By default every request endpoint on a logic app has a Shared Access Signature (SAS) in the endpoint's URL, which follows this format: https://<request-endpoint-URI>sp=<permissions>sv...

Getting Started with Logic Apps - AS2

Image
What is AS2? Every enterprise requires some kind of product, service or counselling from another enterprises thus there happens a B2B(business to business) communications, some of the communication is unique whereas most of the communications are common for most of the enterprises e.g., Purchase Order. But every enterprise has there own way(format) of sending the messages, leading to difficult management when number of partners increased.  Considering this the Enterprise leaders decided to have some standards/rules defined across the communication leading to B2B protocol standards which provide guidelines for trading partners to follow when conducting business between enterprises. EDI X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOM etc. AS2 stands for Applicability Statement 2 and is a B2B messaging protocol used to transmit Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)/Business documents from one organization to another. So EDI standards define how to format data and AS2 specifies how to securely transport...

How to Debug and Trace request in Azure APIM - Portal, Postman, RequestBin

Image
Introduction  APIM is a great option to expose API's with out of box features for applying restrictions, preprocessing, postprocessing etc. You can leverage existing API's,  by importing it and it gets added as a new API with all the operations associated with it. And based on the requirements you  apply policies at the stage/level (Inbound,Backend/Outbound) and you are ready to use the API. Before it is shared, we do some testing to make sure everything is working as per the expectation and this is where Debugging and Tracing request becomes important. APIM does provide a way to Trace a call with the help of  Ocp-Apim-Trace http header. So whichever request/call is to be traced, it needs to include this in header  with the value set to true and it has dependency on another header, so that also needs to be passed i.e.  Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key Note: The api on which Tracing is to applied , it requires the subscription key to be en...
