Hi
I need to display an image located on the local drive within a datacard.
Here is my existing xaml
<
igDP:XamDataPresenter Name="myDataPresenter" Grid.Row="1" BindToSampleData="True" AutoFit="True">
<igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldSettings>
<igDP:FieldSettings AllowRecordFiltering="True" FilterClearButtonVisibility="Visible" FilterOperandUIType="Combo" FilterOperatorDefaultValue="Contains" FilterStringComparisonType="CaseInsensitive" AllowEdit="False" AllowGroupBy="False" />
</igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldSettings>
<igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldLayoutSettings>
<igDP:FieldLayoutSettings AutoGenerateFields="False"/>
</igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldLayoutSettings>
<igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldLayouts>
<igDP:FieldLayout Key="myLayout">
<igDP:FieldLayout.Fields>
<igDP:Field Name="ExerciseTitle" Label="ExerciseTitle" Height="Auto" Width="240"/>
<igDP:Field Name="ExerciseText" Label="ExerciseText" Height="200" Width="240"/>
<igDP:Field Name="Difficulty" Label="Difficulty" Height="Auto" Width="240"/>
<igDP:Field Name="Tags" Label="Tags" Height="Auto" Width="240"/>
<igDP:Field Name="ExerciseID" Label="ExerciseID" Height="0" Width="0"/>
</igDP:FieldLayout.Fields>
</igDP:FieldLayout>
</igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldLayouts>
<igDP:XamDataPresenter.View>
<igDP:CardView>
<igDP:CardView.ViewSettings>
<igDP:CardViewSettings AutoFitCards="HorizontallyAndVertically" HeaderPath="ExerciseID" ShouldCollapseEmptyCells="True" />
</igDP:CardView.ViewSettings>
</igDP:CardView>
</igDP:XamDataPresenter.View>
</igDP:XamDataPresenter>
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you resolved your issue and I believe that other community members may benefit from this as well.
Thanks again.
Excellent - thanks for your help.
You should change the Path in the Binding of the Image's Source to Value, instead of PicturePath.
Hope this helps you.
Hi Stefan,
I have an sql datatable populated with data which is currently displayed in the datacards. One of the columns in the table contains the filepath to the images. How do i bind this column to the path in xaml? I have set the Path parameter to equal the name of the column in the datatable.
my xaml looks like this.
<igDP:XamDataPresenter Name="myDataPresenter" Grid.Row="1" BindToSampleData="False" AutoFit="True" Margin="0,0,0,6" Visibility="Visible" Theme="Office2k7Blue"> <igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldSettings> <igDP:FieldSettings AllowRecordFiltering="True" FilterClearButtonVisibility="Visible" FilterOperandUIType="Combo" FilterOperatorDefaultValue="Contains" FilterStringComparisonType="CaseInsensitive" AllowEdit="False" AllowGroupBy="False" AllowCellVirtualization="True" AllowLabelVirtualization="True" AllowResize="False" AllowSummaries="False" CellClickAction="SelectCell" /> </igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldSettings> <igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldLayoutSettings> <igDP:FieldLayoutSettings AutoGenerateFields="False" AllowAddNew="False" AllowDelete="False" HighlightAlternateRecords="True" HighlightPrimaryField="Highlight" /> </igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldLayoutSettings>
<igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldLayouts> <igDP:FieldLayout Key="myLayout"> <igDP:FieldLayout.Fields> <igDP:Field Name="ExerciseTitle" Label="ExerciseTitle" Height="Auto" Width="100"/> <igDP:Field Name="ExerciseText" Label="ExerciseText" Height="90" Width="240"/> <igDP:Field Name="BodyParts" Label="BodyParts" Height="Auto" Width="100"/> <igDP:Field Name="ExerciseFunctions" Label="ExerciseFunctions" Height="Auto" Width="100"/> <igDP:Field Name="ExerciseID" Label="ExerciseID" Visibility="Hidden" /> <igDP:Field Name="PicturePath" Label="PicturePath" Height="Auto" Width="Auto"> <igDP:Field.Settings> <igDP:FieldSettings> <igDP:FieldSettings.CellValuePresenterStyle> <Style TargetType="{x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}"> <Setter Property="Template"> <Setter.Value> <ControlTemplate> <Image Source="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}},Path=PicturePath}"/> </ControlTemplate> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style> </igDP:FieldSettings.CellValuePresenterStyle> </igDP:FieldSettings> </igDP:Field.Settings> </igDP:Field> </igDP:FieldLayout.Fields> </igDP:FieldLayout> </igDP:XamDataPresenter.FieldLayouts> <igDP:XamDataPresenter.View> <igDP:CardView /> </igDP:XamDataPresenter.View> </igDP:XamDataPresenter>
Hello Paul,
I have created a sample project for you with the functionality you want. It’s in C#, but in code behind I just defined the data source, so the important part is in XAML. Also I can say that the best practice for retemplating a visual element is by using XAML, not code behind.
