  • Intro to Sample Data

    Aug 21 2009

    This week we take a quick intro look at sample data and data binding. We quickly create an application for looking at our data with zero code.
    Sample data in Blend 3 allows you to start working on a data driven application quickly even if you database is not built or your data not populated.

    As always please let me know if you have any feedback.

    Thanks,
    J.

    Hi jason,

    I would just like to thank you so much for the effort that you have put into making these great videos, I am new to Blend and it hard to find good clear resources, so thanks again.

    I have a video request about how to make custom sliders,
    not so much about how to change the style of a slider control but more like how to change the track from being straight to circular or curved in some way is this possible? Maybe this is changing the style I’m not sure.

    Thank you

    Cheers Jason

    Jason,

    That sounds like an interesting challenge, I will definitely give that some thought, and see if we can’t figure something out there.

    Hi Jason,

    Great Ill be watching out for any results,

    I have a question about data, If I have data that I would like to display how do I get Blend to recognize it? I know I can import a XAML file, but how do I create this file?

    Thanks
    Cheers Jason

    Michael,

    Sorry for the delay in response.
    To answer your question, yes the created sample data is stored as an XML file in a folder called SampleData within the Blend project folder. You can also use Blend to update the data at anytime just open up the project again and make your changes.

    Cathleen,

    Thanks for stopping by I appreciate the note.
