I'm writing a Windows Store app, and I'd like to know if it's possible to suppress the generation of the "Common" folder, containing the code from Microsoft, which - imho I do not need.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Common contains StandardStyles.xaml which per App.xaml:
<!--
Styles that define common aspects of the platform look and feel
Required by Visual Studio project and item templates
-->
<ResourceDictionary Source="Common/StandardStyles.xaml"/>
and in StandardStyles.xaml:
<!--
This file contains XAML styles that simplify application development.
These are not merely convenient, but are required by most Visual Studio project and item templates.
Removing, renaming, or otherwise modifying the content of these files may result in a project that
does not build, or that will not build once additional pages are added. If variations on these
styles are desired it is recommended that you copy the content under a new name and modify your
private copy.
-->
That said if you've determined it's not something you'll need just delete it, simpler and less fragile than hacking a T4 template (or whatever mechanism is used) for the code generation.

We recently updated the styling of our app to use WinUI 2.x and while we generally like the changes we have found areas that look terrible and will require overriding the defaults. I looked for a file that would have the default XAML implementation/definitions associated with the new styles, something similar to what's in the generic.xaml file, but I was not able to find it. I would appreciate someone pointing me to this file, if it exists.

The source code for the WinUI 2 controls and the XAML templates are available on GitHub.
For example, DropDownButton.xaml.
I'm using the updated version of the IntelliJ IDEA and am trying to export my code style settings so that they can be used by all developers working on a particular project. I read the tutorials at https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IntelliJIDEA/Code+Styles and http://forum.shakacode.com/t/sharing-your-intellij-rubymine-webstorm-codestyle-among-developers/240, which seems fairly simple.
Unfortunately that is not how my 'export settings' pane looks like, and I don't have a line that says 'code styles'. Mine looks like
The closest I can find is the line I highlighted which has CodeStyleSettingsManager in it along with a whole bunch of other stuff. However I tried using that and extracted the .jar file only to find that there was nothing much inside at all.
Does anyone know a way of exporting code styles that works with the latest version of IntelliJ?
Edit: My codeStyleSettings.xml file only contains the following:
<project version="4">
<component name="ProjectCodeStyleSettingsManager">
<option name="PER_PROJECT_SETTINGS">
<value/>
</option>
<option name="USE_PER_PROJECT_SETTINGS" value="true"/>
</component>
</project>
I don't understand, why you don't see Code Style in your list (it appears in my IDEA 14.1.5), but...
(...) export my code style settings so that they can be used by all developers working on a particular project
A better way to share the project code style across all developers is to include it in your VCS repository. Pulling such a commit will apply those code styles automatically. This is the file: project/.idea/codeStyleSettings.xml. If your VCS is set to ignore .idea/, add an exception for this file.
If you don't see this file at all, you're probably using a local formatter and your Project scheme is unchanged. In this case, go to Settings > Editor > Code Style > Scheme: Manage, select your formatter and click Copy to Project.
Update
Code style files only state the difference to the IDEA Default Code style (which is always the same). You can try this yourself: create a new project, go the the Code Style settings, select Project and change only one option. The codeStyleSettings.xml file will be created, and it will contain only this one option. If you could export your code style settings, the output would be exactly the same.
I am creating a number of WPF applications that all relate around one central WPF application and need to share the same styles and resources. In the first place I created a folder in my main project and added some XAML styles which all worked in displaying UI in the styles I wanted.
Later, I created another application but wanted to share the same styles so I moved the styles into a third project, added that project to the main application and added the reference to the styles project.
The problem is that the will not recognise my styles project. I prefixed the style with the project name and that did not work at all.
I have now got to the point where I can enter the entire relative path to the xaml files in the Path section of the ResourceDictionary and that works. However, If I move the project to another folder then that would fail. I suppose you may ask why I would do that and there are reasons, such as simply refactoring my project structure. Therefore, it would be easier to address the resources by reference rather than file.
I know the answer is inches away but I cannot find anything related to styles from another project.
I have had great feedback from this site so far and any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, I have sussed it! Basically, you add your styles to a set of resource dictionaries in a separate project then you add the project to the solution and make a reference to it in your main project. I got that far but needed to reference the xaml resource files from my resources in my main project.
I tried using the full path name but while that worked, it was not a very good solution because if I move my project and re-link it, the file will because invalid.
The syntax I used that works is as follows:
<ResourceDictionary Source="/StyleResource;component/MSResources/TabControl.xaml" />
Where StyleResources is the name of my project that holds my shared styles, MSResources is the folder in the styles project that holds the xaml file and the file name at the end is obvious.
I have not yet read up about the “component” reference but it works so I will look at it later and update this post.
So I thought it'd be clever of me to split my WIX file up into various smaller files. I did this for a couple reasons. One being that it would make it easier to maintain. Anyway, regardless of my reason, I put the components in one file. But when I compile, I now get a warning that says:
warning LGHT1079: The cabinet 'media1.cab' does not contain any files. If this installation contains no files, this warning can likely be safely ignored. Otherwise, please add files to the cabinet or remove it.
Now the Media element is in the main wix file and all of my File components have a DiskId that matches. So I thought I'd just stick the Media element in the same fragments as where I define my components. No dice. I get a warning that says that the installer has no media.
So do I have to define all of my components in the same file? Or am I missing something?
I figured out what I did wrong. I also put the features in a separate file. I needed to add a FeatureRef tag for each feature within the product tag.
Your Feature elements will need ComponentRef or ComponentGroupRef elements to associate the components to the features.
I am trying to build a Business Application using the AccentColor Theme by copy/pasting the styles into the asset folder and adding the Merged Dictionaries in the app.xaml. After getting everything in place, per the instructions, I get 100+ errors about controls that do not exist like the buttonspinner. I currently have the Silverlight 4 toolkit installed. What am I missing?
If the control isn't used in your solution, you'll get errors. You have 2 options:
-Comment out the styles for the controls you're not using.
-Create a page that has all the controls specified in the styles that you think you’ll use, and comment out the styles for the controls you're not using.
