Your videos are like golden nuggets. I love them all, you always read my mind and come up with the problem I think of and in minutes the answer is right there. I just can't stress enough how useful your videos are...
This is great, but I have a question about building a complex user control where I can't see the colors that I'm binding by default. I want to be able to apply a theme later on, but I want the default colors to show in the XAML editor while I'm building the control itself. Putting the control in some window and assigning properties works as expected, it's just building the component itself is awkward because I can't see how it's going to look in the XAML editor. The other thing is that intelisense does not autocomplete on "{Binding ...}" but does autocomplete on "{Binding Path=...}" and I'm wondering if that's something that's cropped up in the last few years, or if I'm just doing something wrong.
Thanks Tanzib! For the dependency properties in the TierCard, I would certainly use code-behind since there's really no MVVM alternative. Instead of the event handlers, I would probably add ICommand dependency properties on the TierCard for something like "JoinCommand". Then, I would have view models with commands to handle the join button clicks. Good question!
Loved how you don’t just explain the problem of not using reusable components, but actually make the viewer go through the cumbersome process of changing code multiple times, so they can realize by themselves this is a problem.
Hey Pierre, good question! This video demonstrates commands in user controls, specifically for handling routed events with commands: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cx6YE86XzYE.html
