I'm a spanish native talker that who had to search videos tutorial in English about this topic because I didn't find tutorials with this quality content. Excelent content bro.
I can't believe I found this gem of a channel on a small comment on Reddit. I've been struggling with C# classes at school so hard, especially these kinds of applications where you make reservations or place orders with WPF. Instantly subbed and thank you for these concise explanations.
Followed all of your previous wpf mvvm tutorial, and I can say that this series has a much higher quality in all aspects. So given that the other tutorial was great, I guess this will be super great. Congratulations!
Thanks Cojua! In fact, the lower quality of the previous WPF MVVM tutorial was the main inspiration for this series. To be fair, that was my first series on this channel, hahaha. Hope you enjoy the rest of this series!
This is also the first time that I've seen that feature of WPF. Is there an advantage to doing is this way rather that defining column definitions on your top-level grid?
this and the previous video are like the best I've seen on WPF and MVVM pattern, I'm looking forward to the next episode on viewmodel and binding everything together
First of all, thanks for providing this series! It is very helpful to go all the way to understand MVVM. I do have a suggestion, though, for the speed of your video. I had to make the speed half fast to catch up what you are saying while I was trying to digest the code you wrote (and you do have considerately large volume of code to demonstrate your point). Anyways, very appreciate your time of making this video! Great video.
Appreciate the feedback yankun! I like to keep things quick and concise, but I am definitely starting to slow down my pace in my more recent videos. I probably sound really weird at 0.5x speed hahah
Hi Sean. Your videos are great, I'm learning a lot from them. I've seen several of your navigation videos though, all using UserControls. Have you published a video showing how to use Windows instead of UserControls in this same pattern? If you haven't published a video in this regard, could you give a tip on how to do it?
Good stuff, hope this time we will learn simplified navigation when we get there. Navigation is the worst part of WPF MVVM. Sometimes I think visual studio should provide out of the box nav menu for wpf...good job Sean
Thanks Kevin! I agree, I feel like everyone struggles with Navigation at some point. It should be pretty simple in this series since we only have 2 pages, but I think the solution is pretty extendable too.
Sean, great videos! I have a couple of general questions: (1) When you are typing in xaml it appears that you have a setting to go to multiples lines after you enter 3 or more items..ie.. automatically becomes... Where is the setting for this? (2) Sometimes it appears to sort these items alphabetically as well....Is there a setting for this? (3) You seem to be typing at light speed, are you using a bunch of keyboard shortcuts besides intellisense's normal features? Thanks
Easy it happens when you hit the / key if you set it in Options. Click Tools -> Options Then type XAML (it should take you to Text Editor -> XAML Click Spacing and choose "Position each attribute on a separate line" toggle the checkbox to where you want the first Attribute.
Are you manually moving the Grid.Row and Grid.Column properties to the top, or is auto-formatting doing that for you? If the latter, how did you set that up?
Good tutorial, but any reason as to why you're using a List view instead of a data grid? Also, is there any reason as to why you're storing the reservations as an IEnumerable instead of as a List?
Hi sean was just wondering why didn't you use a Datagrid instead and used a girdview inside a listview, I looked it up and couldn't understand, so wanted to ask you, is this just a personal preference or is there a reason.
To get text to center in a TextBlock, use TextAlignment="Center" not HorizontalAlignment="Center". HorizontalAlignment will affect the Element, TextAlignment will affect the content. Bitten me many of times too.
I think the reason the text doesn't center in the ListView is because the Textblock is only as big as the text in it, so you have to stretch the Textblock to be the width of the column in the Listview.
Really nice tutorial, but I can see that WPM is a nightmare to maintain. I got lost when I saw you have to place editors outside of the grid definition, and then you have to set grid row and column index for each editor. o.O
Excellent tutorial, many thanks to you for this great series and its full of info while coding, but you're talking very very fast which i should slow the vidoe speed in order to catch you on this sprint.
I like your video content, but it's a bit too fast-paced, especially for beginners and those whose mother tongue is other than English. Give us a little time to understand what you're saying and the code you're typing. Good work.
Visual Studio Gives you a visual of the layout as you edit the xaml. So, I'm wondering why you aren't using that. It's much easier than having to run the application to see the layout. 1/4/22, 12:30 p.m.
Good question ORagnar. I used to use the visual preview back in the old days, but I always had so many issues with it. I will admit I was using VS 2013 back then, hahaha. I might have to give it a shot on VS 2019+. Regardless, I haven't had many issues just running the app and using hot reload.

@@SingletonSean i think it was perfect. I loved how you changed some design decisions from video to video, and showing what you had learned in between
Grid Shared Size Scoping blow my mind. Thanks
me too ha. the best bit so far for sure

Thanks adwadwadw! I'll release the view model episode today :)
best tutorial ever. why? hours of content shortened to less than 20mins. i can learn a lot by watching these videos repeatedly.
Exactly
Appreciate this a lot, glad this pace is helpful!
Can I ask in 3:30 what shortcut did you use to formatting the code like that?
Really great tutorial. Thank you.
the best WPF tutorial I have ever watched, very clearly ，thank you so much
Thank you 🥹 I'm glad this helped!
Really nice tutorial! I am learning a lot. Looking forward to Part #3.
Oh man, good call on Figma! I wasn't aware of their product.
It's awesome, I use it for everything! And it's pretty much free
Dude I love the pace you go out. Thank you so much for this!

Thank you Sean! God Bless.
Thank god for the Pause button.... 🙂 Excellent video (series)

Love the “Cowboy coding”, lol. Isn’t that the way it’s done? 😂
So shouldn't it be called MVmV orrr MVV? It would have saved me some confusion about the awareness between the three groups. (@@013)
can you tell more about figma and wpf integration ?
Are you manually moving the Grid.Row and Grid.Column properties to the top, or is auto-formatting doing that for you? If the latter, how did you set that up?
Good question Das, I use an auto-formatter for this! You can install it here: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TeamXavalon.XAMLStyler
@@SingletonSean Awesome. Hopefully this will keep my OCD at bay. It goes banankers when attributes and such are out of order all over the place.
God tier question and answer. Thanks for asking it
Good tutorial, but any reason as to why you're using a List view instead of a data grid? Also, is there any reason as to why you're storing the reservations as an IEnumerable instead of as a List?
In the row/column definition, what would be the difference between using "auto" and "*"?
pffft... got my answer right after I posted this...
Is the ViewModel tutorial (#3) still in the pipeline? Great series, thanks.
Hey Andre, it is! I just didn't have it in the playlist for this series, so it was much harder to find. Thanks for pointing that out!
@@SingletonSean Thanks! I'll get onto it right away . really appreciate your work .

don't understand either
What kind of plugin are u using, so the properties in your .xaml rearrange automatically? :)
Hey Mars! I use this plugin called XAML Styler: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TeamXavalon.XAMLStyler
It's super helpful!
To get text to center in a TextBlock, use TextAlignment="Center" not HorizontalAlignment="Center". HorizontalAlignment will affect the Element, TextAlignment will affect the content. Bitten me many of times too.
Good point Jackson! I've never really thought that deep about this, but I could see this making a clear difference for multi-line text.
that was fast and good. I wonder how many keyboard shortcut this guy knows besides the programming knowledge
Thanks Motions & Moments! I'm slowly becoming a better "keyboard warrior". It all just comes with time :)
I'm following along and doing my own thing. As far as I can tell @ 2:18 your video was done. 17:43 video only 2:18 of MVVM.
I think the reason the text doesn't center in the ListView is because the Textblock is only as big as the text in it, so you have to stretch the Textblock to be the width of the column in the Listview.
Still trying to understand the concept. But it was a great tutorial to learn different concepts and techniques to learn coding models.
Really nice tutorial, but I can see that WPM is a nightmare to maintain. I got lost when I saw you have to place editors outside of the grid definition, and then you have to set grid row and column index for each editor. o.O
You could have simply used the "DataGrid" control to show reservations.
Oh wow, I heard Ninja has figma too

Man, you could’ve prepared all the markup before the tutorial. It took to long…
