i have the following Problem - first of all i'm totally new to Flex. I was search through about 20 Websites but haven't found a Solution:
I have xml file like that:
<xml>
<settings>
<mainurl>http://localhost/website/</mainurl>
<adminurl>http://localhost/website/admin</adminurl>
</settings>
</xml>
Now i have
<mx:Model id="xmlfile" source="conf/config.xml">
That works fine for my DataGrid, but in the
<mx:Script></mx:Script>
section i have a function:
private function loadConf():void
{
var admURL:String = xmlfile.setting.mainurl;
}
But it does not work?!?!
How to get it working? As i told before, i have read a lot of Tutorials and Adobe Examples but always found a way working with it on DataGrids and Stuff like that - that ways all work for me, but i can't get the above working.
Hope you can help.
Thx so much,
Sascha
xmlfile.setting.mainurl
should be
xmlfile.settings.mainurl

I have started to use Stackmob as a backend for a simple app I am building.
In stackmob I have set a relationship between two schema's and want to use '.fetchExpanded' to grab all of the data from stackmob, see this fiddle (will need to view the console to see the output):
http://jsfiddle.net/mcneela86/65Rax/
.fetchExtended(1);
The same code works using the '.fetch' instead of '.fetchExpanded'.
Has anyone come across this before?
Would really appreciate any help.
Ok, I found a work around for this.
Instead of using '.fetchExtended(1);' I will just use '.fetch();' and when I am defining the model I will change the following:
var Bike = StackMob.Model.extend({
schemaName: "bikes"
});
to:
var Bike = StackMob.Model.extend({
schemaName: "bikes?_expand=1"
});
This seems to remove the need for '.fetchExtended(1);'
Hope this helps someone else.
The default Windows 8 project template has a CollectionViewSource in the template.
<CollectionViewSource
x:Name="itemsViewSource"
Source="{Binding Model.Invitations}"
d:Source="{Binding Invitations, Source={d:DesignInstance Type=vm:DesignerFilteredInvitations, IsDesignTimeCreatable=True}}" />
Obviously not all pages have a collection as their model, you can define a DataContext like this:
<vm:MySingleItemViewModel x:Key="Model" />
How do you define the design instance for this kind of model?
Well, design time data is best accomplished like this: http://blog.jerrynixon.com/2012/08/most-people-are-doing-mvvm-all-wrong.html
I realize your question is asking about using d:DesignInstance which also works with this type of technique - just not demonstrated in that article.
All it requires is a good constructor.
Okay, using this works fine:
<Page
d:DataContext="{d:DesignInstance Type=Models:ViewModel, IsDesignTimeCreatable=True}"
And using this works fine:
<d:Page.DataContext>
<Models:ViewModel/>
</d:Page.DataContext>
I must tell you the latter is an easier approach, too. It is also what Visual Studio will generate when you setup a data source in the designer. It also gives you fully-typed bindings. But either is acceptable.
Another note. I can see no good reason to set an object directly to the source of a CollectionViewSource. Normally you would be binding the CVS's Source property to a property inside your ViewModel. But, given your question: Here's how:
<CollectionViewSource
x:Name="TestCVS" Source="{Binding}"
d:DataContext="{Binding Source={d:DesignInstance Type=Models:ViewModel, IsDesignTimeCreatable=True}}"/>
Binding to the Source in the designer caused me endless trouble. But it irritated me more because I knew I would never do it this way. This is what I wanted to do:
<d:Page.DataContext>
<Models:ViewModel/>
</d:Page.DataContext>
<Page.Resources>
<CollectionViewSource x:Name="TestCVS" Source="{Binding}" />
</Page.Resources>
You better have a great reason for your approach!
Best of luck!
I want to use a SuperAccordion GUI component. I.e. an accordion, where sereval windows can be opened simultaneously.
I found this:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/tourdeflex/web/#sampleId=19370;illustIndex=0;docIndex=1
However, I can get the code... Flex does not know about a component 'SuperAccordion".
Please help.
Thanks
Your link contains all the code you need... SuperAccordion is composite component defined in this very example.
Edit: Actually, no. There is a library used: ws.tink.flex.containers, hosted at: http://tink.googlecode.com/svn-history/r49/trunk/ws/tink/flex/containers/
You can use svn to get it: svn checkout http://tink.googlecode.com/svn-history/r49/trunk/ws/tink/flex/containers/ [folder to store it]
Edit: or even simpler: http://code.google.com/p/tink/downloads/list
I'm getting some Xml back from a service. I would like it to be the datasource of a grid view on my aspx page. Here is a sample of the Xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>
<ArrayOfTripTollCompleteDC xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<TripTollCompleteDC>
<TripTollId>5</TripTollId>
<DMSLaneModeID xsi:nil="true" />
<HOVOnly>false</HOVOnly>
<CreateDateTime>2010-06-07T15:54:01.023</CreateDateTime>
<ConfigVTMSDelaySeconds>5</ConfigVTMSDelaySeconds>
</TripTollCompleteDC>
and here is my code that parses the xml and tries to bind the grid. What am I missing here?
var retVal = service.GetTripDetailsByTripID(tripId);
var xmlTrips = XDocument.Parse(retVal);
var tripTolls =
from t in xmlTrips.Elements("TripTollCompleteDC")
select new {
TripTollId = (int)t.Element("TripTollId")
, DMSLaneModeID = (int?)t.Element("DMSLaneModeID")
, HOVOnly = (bool)t.Element("HOVOnly")
, CreateDateTime = (DateTime)t.Element("CreateDateTime")
, ConfigVTMSDelaySeconds = (int)t.Element("ConfigVTMSDelaySeconds")
};
grdTripDetails.DataSource = tripTolls;
grdTripDetails.DataBind();
I realize these are anonymous types. Is that a problem? I have verified the service is returning the Xml as stated above. Can anyone out there point me in the right direction? Thanks so much for any tips.
Just for completeness, here is the grid markup
<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="grdTripDetails" />
Cheers,

Try this:
from t in xmlTrips.Root.Elements("TripTollCompleteDC")
Note the addition of Root in there. There's only one top-level element, and it's not a TripTollCompleteDC.
You may also need to autogenerate the columns - I don't know about grid views. That raises a useful point about debugging this sort of thing. There are two potential problems here:
Parsing and transforming the XML
Generating the grid view
You can test the first point via logging - log the transformed values in whatever way you normally do logging. Heck, you could even just use a separate console app for testing. (That's what I've just done.)
You can test the second point by hard-coding some data and reloading the page - does it show up how you expect it to? If not, tweak the code until it does what you want.
Separating these two concerns makes it much easier to work out the problem.
Anyone know how to use CertificateWarningHandler in WatiN?
I've got as far as...
IE ie = new IE("https://mysite.aspx");
CertificateWarningHandler cwh = new CertificateWarningHandler(CertificateWarningHandler.ButtonsEnum.Yes);
cwh.HandleDialog(new Window(ie.hWnd));
... which does precisely nothing.
On a more general note, how on earth do you people manage to use this tool? The documentation is nearly useless, and there doesn't seem to be any decent resource online. I must be missing something because it's taken me about half an hour to write 3 lines of code that don't even work.
I'm using something similar to what Saar is using and it works fine (my tests are cross-browser).
//Override security warning in browser
{
if (Browser.Link(Find.ById("overridelink")).Exists)
{
Browser.Link(Find.ById("overridelink")).Click();
Browser.WaitForComplete();
}
else
{
Browser.WaitForComplete();
} //end else
}
I'm not a developer, and I've found that there's plenty of information out there on WatiN and others post code samples and the like that are really helpful. Google is one of my best friends when it comes to finding WatiN help. You'll get the hang of it.
have you tried following already?
ie.DialogWatcher.Add(cwh);
or just
ie.DialogWatcher.Add(new CertificateWarningHandler());
Update: After comment.
Actually this works for me.
further may be following will help
Browser browser = ie;
if (browser.Links.Exists("overridelink"))
{
browser.Link("overridelink").Click();
}
