First of all, nice demo!

Second of all, I have been trying to port this demo to a WPF application and I've stumbled into a HeaderInfo issue. I am setting the HeaderInfo property as in the demo, and then I am creating either an ItemTemplate or as in the demo an ItemContainerStyle where I set either the HeaderTemplate or the Header property. Nothing works!

I used this:

 <TabControl.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="TabItem">
<Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding Path=HeaderInfo,Mode=OneWay,FallbackValue='Error!'}"/>
</Style>
</TabControl.ItemContainerStyle>

Every attempt "Error!" is displayed. I tried binding to . (dot) to see what the DataContext was, but again, error was displayed. What am I doing wrong?! And please escuse the noobicity of this question, this is my first WPF app, but puh-lease, someone answer this!

Hi there, couldnt agree more, this demo really helps out grasping the Prism, amazing.

Im wondering in short if the source code is available for download so i can "play" with it?

Thanks

Could you please provide the source code, or at least the bits that you pasted in? (the style resources). Thanks.

 

Later Edit:

I found that codeplex had a link to the source code for the series: Here it is: http://compositewpf.codeplex.com/Project/Download/FileDownload.aspx?DownloadId=60148

I got a similar problem when trying to follow this demo. In my experiment with the original Silverlight demo the binding on the tab control header does not work. I could only user static texts on the header using the TabControlRegionAdapter, and once I use binding the tab control header shows nothing.

 

I am also wondering what might be the cause of this problem.

I've tried following everything, but it isn't clear to me from this screenscast how the ViewModel gets instantiated.  Where's the "new" call for DiggSearchResultsViewModel and what calls the DiggSearchResultsView constructor *with* the DiggSearchResultsViewModel parameter?  I assume that the DiggModule's registration of the view with the region will transparently call the default constructor for DiggSearchResultsView, but how does the parameterized constructor factor in?
