XAML Notes

XAML changes

Since there has been a major UI redesign in this version, quite a lot of changes in XAML code (especially bindings) are involved. We have striven to maintain backward compatibility, but some changes either are simply unavoidable or their long term benefits outweigh the efforts required this one time.

Converters

• Under namespace UBIK.CPL.Converters, SelectiveItemToValueConverter is renamed as PropertyValueToSelectiveItemConverter to properly reflect what it does.

UBIKContentArea

• Changed from "Properties.Items" to "Properties.VisibleItems" in bindings because Items/AllItems now also include those system/invisible ones that users are not supposed to see.

UBIKThemes

• Removed "Content.", "OwnerModel." from bindings in DateTemplate "UBIKPropertyItem".

UBIKEditNA

• Prefixed bindings "EnableNAOption" & "NotApplicable" with "PropertyViewModel.".

Editor related templates

The changes are quite extensive and, therefore, we recommended you taking the default templates from the app and re-customize them from there.

The affected list of templates include: UBIKEditDateTime, UBIKEditDouble, UBIKEditInt, UBIKEditGuid, UBIKEditGeo, UBIKEditBool, UBIKEditString.

• Changed from "PropertyItem" to "PropertyViewModel" in bindings;
• Prefixed bindings "EnableNAOption", "NotApplicable", "Unit" & "ShowComboBox" with "PropertyViewModel.";
• Changed from "PropertyValue" to "PropertyViewModel.ValueItem.PropertyValue" in bindings;
• Prefixed binding "FilterQueryResults.Items" with "PropertyViewModel."; (UBIKEditGuid)
• Changed from "ViewGuidObjectCommand" to "NavigateToGuidCommand". (UBIKEditGuid)
