Whats the best group for .net 3.0 and xaml questions

[moondaddy]

What's the best group to search and post xaml questions?

 

[clintonG]

If its .NET 3.0 I wonder what part of dotnet.general you don't understand?
If its just XAML arguably here or at
news://microsoft.public.expression.fu*ckedupnewsgroups maybe?

Try this:

http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/default.aspx?siteid=1

There are many forums there, but if you scroll down you should find the
WPF forums which I think is what you need.

Hi Moondaddy,

As Chris has mentioned you can find many .net framework 3.0 or Oracs
specific groups in the MSDN forum:

http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/default.aspx?siteid=1

and there are also some dedicated sub forums on WPF there:

WPF/E General Discussion

WPF/E Designer Issues

WPF/E Developer Issues

Hello clintonG,

Wow, I love your gentle, tolerant and restrained approach to other
peoples' opinions.

Sorry everybody, will stop right there.

Thanks Steven! there's a lot of good content there.

by the way, do you know of any code examples of a very simple Visio like
application using xaml and vb? I need to connect rectangles with straight
or right angle lines (no diagnal lines) and be able to drag them around into
position.

Hi Moondaddy,

Thanks for your reply.

As for viso like sample application, I haven't seen such exact one.
However, I think what you need to do is graphic element manipulation(like
drag &drop or drawing objects). Here are some tech articles describing on
this:

#Drawing a Line Between Movable Elements
http://www.infusionblogs.com/blogs/jsmith/archive/2006/11/28/7069.aspx

#Dragging Elements in a Canvas

#Showing drag/drop feedback on the WPF adorner layer

the WPF graphics blog should also be helpful:

Thanks Steven those are good links. My problem is that I've arleady gone
through the 2 links for drag and drop and they are all in c# and I have not
been able to get them to work in vb. do you know of any vb sources?

 

[Steven Cheng[MSFT]]

Thanks for your reply Moondaddy,

So far I haven't found any dedicated VB.NET resource on WPF, however, you
can have a look at the WINDOWS SDK samples which include samples for WPF,
WCF .... and both VB.NET and CS version is included.

#Windows SDK .NET Framework 3.0 Samples
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=22b58b6c-8f98-40d0-
880d-c3339c5da01e&displaylang=en

In addition, there are many resoruce in the WPF official site's gallery,
and there should also have some VB reference there.

Hope this helps some.
