I’ve always used XmlDocument when I’ve needed to create or read XML, but I while I was implmenting a SOAP service for ChickenPing I discovered XDocument. XDocument offers a much more concise way of specying XML without all the boilerplate code.
For example, this snippet using XmlDocument:
XmlElement root = doc.CreateElement("recipeml");
XmlElement hdVersion = doc.CreateElement("version");
hdVersion.InnerText = "0.5";
root.AppendChild(hdVersion);
XmlElement hdGenerator = doc.CreateElement("generator");
hdGenerator.InnerText = "ChickenPing v" + Constants.GetVersion().ToString(3);
root.AppendChild(hdGenerator);

I’ve recently started using XCeed’s DataGrid for WPF instead of he WPF toolkit DataGrid because overall it seems to have more features. One of the problems which I couldn’t find any reference to was using editable comboboxes when editing an item. I’m using an ObjectDataProvider as the ItemsSource for a ComboBox, but I wanted to let a user type a value as well as select one from the list.
The solution I eventually used lets a user add an item to the list of items which can then be selected when editing other items in the DataGrid.
Once you’ve declared the ObjectDataProvider in XAML, you need a CellEditor template for the column which will use the ComboBox (code below).
<xcdg:column .CellEditor>
<xcdg:celleditor>
</xcdg:celleditor><xcdg:celleditor .EditTemplate>
<datatemplate>
<combobox x:Name="cboMeasurement" IsVisibleChanged="cbo_IsVisibleChanged"
ItemsSource="{Binding Collection,Source={StaticResource measurementProvider}}" SelectedValue="{xcdg:CellEditorBinding}" IsEditable="True" Foreground="Black" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" />
</datatemplate>
</xcdg:celleditor>
</xcdg:column> Read more »
