Problem Fixing a ComboBox in Xaml

[PGilbert]

If you define a variable called 'xaml' that has the following value:

Code: Select all

<Window
   xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
   xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
   xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
   Height="350"
   Width="525"
   Title="MainWindow">

   <Grid>
      <ComboBox
         Width="242"
         HorizontalAlignment="Left"
         Margin="129,95,0,0"
         VerticalAlignment="Top"
         IsEditable="True"
         IsReadOnly="True"/>
   </Grid>
</Window>

If you fix doing the following:

Code: Select all

      ⎕USING←'System.Windows.Markup,WPF/PresentationFramework.dll'
      obj←XamlReader.Parse(⊂xaml)

It will work in version 14.1 but in version 15 I am getting the following error:

Code: Select all

EXCEPTION: 'Cannot set unknown member 'System.Windows.Controls.ComboBox.IsReadOnly'.' Line number '16' and line position '10'.

Why is that ?

I'm not getting any error (W10 and Dyalog APL/W-64 Version 15.0.28601).

Wondering whether your V14.1 and V15 might be connecting to different versions of Microsoft's .NET morass.

Thanks for trying and reporting Dick.

Hi Pierre,

On this computer, does 15.0 work with other XAML WPF code?

Can you send Support the text of your ⎕exception and ⎕exception.InnerException if there is one please?


Your code works for me on Windows 7 and Dyalog 15.0 64-bit Unicode with these assemblies:

I have found this post on the web that is similar to my problem. Parsing the following line before parsing the original Xaml is a workaround of the problem that is working for me (as explained in the post). A little bit weird to my taste.

Code: Select all

     inter←'<ComboBox xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" IsReadOnly="True"/>'
     ⎕USING←⊂'System.Windows.Markup,WPF/PresentationFramework.dll'
     inter←XamlReader.Parse(⊂inter)

Hello Pierre,

We are unable to reproduce the problem here. I've done a little online research, and the consensus seems to be that it’s a Microsoft bug.

Here are a few links that I found (but I suspect you've seen them)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6850 ... isreadonly
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forum ... ?forum=wpf
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStud ... n-combobox

That last link doesn’t appear to work, but the URL text suggests it *might* be a beta-2 problem. Are you confident that you have an up to date (or at least a non-beta) .Net 4?

Best Regards
John Daintree.

Hello John, my computer did some 'Windows Update' automatically since I wrote that post and now everything is working fine. I am working on a Window 7 Professional with a .Net version 4.6.2 now.

I agree with you that it is a Microsoft bug, but I still don't understand why the same code was working on my previous v14.1 and not on v15. I am using the following for my 'dyalog.exe.config' file on both version of the interpreter:

Code: Select all

<configuration>
  <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.6"/>
  </startup>
  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <!-- <probing privatePath="MJHSoftware;Syncfusion/4.5;Syncfusion"/> -->
      <probing privatePath="C:\Secovac2\Program\Bin\Dll\Syncfusion;C:\Secovac2\Program\Bin\Dll\Secovac"/>
    </assemblyBinding>
    <!-- <NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy enabled="true"/> -->
    <loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true"/>
  </runtime>
</configuration>

Is it me that is doing something wrong with my 'dyalog.exe.config' file ?

Thanks,

Pierre Gilbert
