Build fail

Hi Kevin,

The associated QuickStart only works for .Net 3.5 SP1, but this doesn't appear to build for earlier versions. As a workaround for this build issue, you can simply remove the setting of ScrollViewer.IsDeferredScrollingEnabled in the QuickStart.

We will fix this for the next maintenance release.

How can I do a demo for our team using Expression Blend with one of your Circular Gauge Ranges? Do I jsut copy and paste the XAML code and the 2 references? I'm new to this.

Thanks.

There is a Getting Started topic in the documention, along with other information that may help you. But to answer your question.

First, add references to the ActiproSoftware.Shared.Wpf30.dll and ActiproSoftware.Gauge.Wpf30.dll assemblies. They should have been installed in the GAC during the control installation process. However they also will be located in the appropriate Program Files folders.

You can then copy the XAML, and possibly the associated C# code, as needed. When copying the XAML code (assuming you just copy the gauge portion), make sure to copy the namespace declarations from the top of the file.

Need a bit more help here. I have the following code but it fails to build. Any ideas?

This is the User Control code:

What is the build error you are seeing?

I got it to build. It is an amazing product. How can I bind into some data so the gauge's needle will move around?

Posted 16 years ago by Actipro Software Support - Cleveland, OH, USA

Hi Kevin,

The Demos and QuickStarts provided show numerous examples of how to bind to the needles. Two in particular are the World Clocks sample, which shows how the gauges can be bound to the current time, and the Scientific Demo, which shows data updates based on a timer.

I see those demos. Is there any documentation that I can read up? It is pretty confisung for an UI designer....Thanks.

Posted 16 years ago by Actipro Software Support - Cleveland, OH, USA

We don't have the type of documentation you are probaly looking for, since your question deals more with using WPF in general and not with our controls. Regardless,
there are tons of resources available on the subject through Microsoft and other popular sites.

One example is: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163299.aspx.

Hope this helps

The latest build of this product (v24.1.2) was released 1 days ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
