Chapter 7 - WPF Text Editor

Crissytenav · #1 (**permalink**) September 9th, 2009, 12:36 PM

Wrote code on page 236 w/errors: illegal characters in path, etc.

Re-wrote first button code, which seemed to be giving me problems.
Still have illegal characters in path -- any ideas how to make this work?

<Window x:Class="Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Text Editor" Height="460" Width="600">
<Grid>
<ToolBarPanel Height="26" Name="ToolBarPanel1" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<ToolBar Height="26" Name="ToolBar1" Width="575">
<Button Name="tbrClear" ToolTip="Clear">
<Image Source="file:///C:/Program Files/Microsoft
Visual Studio 9.0/Common7/VS2008ImageLibrary/1033/VS2008ImageLibrary/
Actions/32bitcolor bitmaps/16x16/NewDocumentHs.bmp"></Image>
</Button>

Thank you!
Christina

I went back to the absolute path -- copy and pasted ito add the XAML control. Looks slightly differant from the book. No errors so far!

Code:

<Window x:Class="Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

    <Grid>
        <ToolBarPanel Height="26" Name="ToolBarPanel1" VerticalAlignment="Top">
            <ToolBar Height="26" Name="ToolBar1" Width="575">
                <Button Name="tbrClear" ToolTip="Clear">

I received the 'invalid character' error message after typing in the code exactly like the book. The problem appears to be related to spaces in the filename. A quick fix is to take out the line breaks and put all of the 'Source' tag on one line. This made the error go away for me.

Need to download code?
