I have a dependency property problem on a user control that is driving me nuts – posted on MSDN WPF Forums (LumberPro), could you take a look and see if you see what I am doing wrong. Title is “DP Fails to Bind”.

Thank you.

There are several helper classes in my snippets. These are classes that provide static helper methods to enable other snippets.

The general rule is that if you are using my routed event snippets, then you probably need to add the routed event helper class to your project. The same is true for using my routed command snippets… you will probably need the routed command helper class in your project.

WAY awesome!!! Thank you for sharing with us mortals!!

..and snippet support for C++/CLI is…um…a collection of parts on the floor swept off the workbench after they made the first TI calculator. Badly done MS, badly done.

I hadn’t understood that you use your snippets…
I thought the medicine was only for the patients, I missed you drink it also

I really think I stressed too much the defects of repetition.
Please forget what I said and *do* use the snippets for better consistency.
Please forget what I said and *do* use the snippets for better documentation.
Please forget what I said and *avoid* wasting time manually inserting the same code over and over again.
Please forget what I said but *consider* working on a higher level of abstraction.
Please forget what I said but *consider* waiting for WPF to allow you to work on the correct level of abstraction.
Please forget what I said but *consider* using a code generator.

However, my main concern was about VB priorities:
On a scale of Classic Pong to XBox 360,
the VB snippet support PRIORITY is probably somewhere around a Nintendo 64,
whereas the VB scripting support PRIORITY is on the XBox 360 Premium-Universal-Enterprise-Ultimate-Edition

I was still under the impression that the "script version" of VBx would be based upon the DLR, just like IronRuby and IronPython. Has

So you reject my assertion in the earlier post that well designed snippets can help facilitate good coding practices around consistency and documentation? You’d rather have developers code from scratch each and every dependency property, routed event, and routed command? Not only does this seem like a waste of time, but it also seems prone to error and inconsistency across code files.

Oh well… to each his own.

Copy and paste is the root of all evil, and a code snippet is the root of all evil taken to a new level.
It is a way to paste a piece of code without even the trouble to copy it.

VB Team, please spend your time giving us a decent scripting language (obviously Microsoft is fooling us with those IronRubyPython things)
VB Team, leave the code snippets unusable, leave those bad habits to C# programmers.
