Great exposition of your thoughts! I downloaded the sample app, compiled it, it works fine. “Window1.xaml” loaded in VS2008 barfs with an error -

Error 1 Specified element is already the logical child of another element. Disconnect it first. C:\Work\WPF\wpfbloginfoeyecandy\WPFBlog.Info\Window1.xaml 115 13 WPFBlog.Info

Any ideas?

Cheers,

[...] Currently I try to implement are reusable control for reflection in WPF. I come to the conclusion that XAML is a very easy way to achieve such a effect but it is not the ‘modern abstract’ way. So after a while I found a very nice example which operates with AttachedProperties to display a reflection (see Reflecting on Reflections). [...]

Oh sorry, please delete my double posts!

Very nice! I like your implementation but there are still issues with elements within Panels.
Try this with your implementation:

As you can see all elements lose their orientations. The reason is simple:
All you have to do is to map all AttachedProperties to the new container of your element.
So I wrote a simple ‘AttachedPropertiesManager’.
Here an example:
if ((originalParent is Panel))
{
AttachedPropertiesManager.SaveAttachedProperties(reflectionTarget);
(originalParent as Panel).Children.Remove(reflectionTarget);
}

and later on:

if (originalParent is Panel)
{
Panel parent = originalParent as Panel;
AttachedPropertiesManager.RestoreAttachedProperties(container);
parent.Children.Add(container);
}

Nice work Roland! I’m glad to see the Reflection control is still evolving. I also like your approach here… very clean!

Hi Mike! Yeah, I’m definitely keeping an eye on Live Mesh. Currently I’m using the WCF NetPeerTCP transport but something more refined like Live Mesh would make life easier for sure.

Thanks for visiting!
