Test a XAML in XP, service pack 2

[Guest]

Hi folks, I have installed .net 3.0 framework sucessfully in a machine with
XP, service pack 2. In the window explorer, I clicked a simplest XAML
file, I got error message, "...msctf.dll not found...." . Then, I copied it
into the local web server, and I tried to access it, I got the similar error.
The xaml is as below:
<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
WindowTitle="Xaml Page"><StackPanel>
<Button HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="24">Hello,
XAML!</Button> </StackPanel></Page>
Please advise, Thanks. Peter

We're seeing this same problem on some of our development machines. Are
you by chance working with so called CAT PCs?

Hi Laurent,
Thanks for your reply. Then, I know that I might not process wrong.
I asked around my colleagues, and nobody can tell my machine is Cat PC or
not. Thanks again.

CAT PCs are used at Siemens, so I take it that you're not working for
them, are you? Sorry, I should have precised this earlier. I am trying
to find out what faulty PCs have in common, in order to try and solve
the problem.

We have our IT looking into it too, I'll try and follow up here if we
find the problem.

Do you have the Window declared outside the page? I put this into XAML in a
WPF project, and it works. Here's my XAML:

<Window x:Class="TestXaml.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="TestXaml" Height="300" Width="300" >
<Page WindowTitle ="Xaml Page">
<StackPanel>
<Button HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="24">Hello,Xaml!</Button>
</StackPanel>
</Page>
</Window>

I've actually not used the Page object, but I'm only halfway through the
gigantic WPF book.

I would also point out that when I save this as a .xaml file and

Hi Robin,
I copied and pasted your code, and double-click the XAML file, it
idid not work on my machine with window XP, Service pack 2.0, a typical Dell
machine. Even my machine experienced one automatic window update before I
tested your code.
I tried out WPF examples smoothly at home in Vista . It is kind of
strange. Thanks.

Hi Robin,
Thanks for your response for clarity. When I tried out most of the
WPF examples, I created a proj file to build it by msbuild, defining the
source as *.cs. Then I double-click the exe file to see the application
product first. Then, I walked through the code. Finally, I did the reading.
This is my personal learning style.
I have not installed the SDK at work yet. I copied a SayHello.exe
file from home to my computer at work, I double-clicked it, it works. It is
the environment with only .net 3.0 runtime installed. Now I feel much more
comfortable that I am potentially able to use WPF technology for the client
mahcines with XP. Thanks again.

So here's what I found out about this. You can double-click on a XAML file
in Vista, and it will run it. However, if you double-click on a XAML file
on a Windows XP machine, it will not run it. In order to run it on an XP
machine, you have to compile and build it first, which is what Visual
Studio does.

That's the official word. I read that in the first chapter of the XAML
reference put out by O'Reilly in 2006. So apparently there's something in
Vista that's not in XP.

You can get something to compile and build XAML w/o Visual Studio, but it's
not as simple? Also, Petzold (who wrote the definitive book on WPF) has a
XAML Cruncher I think on his website that you can use to write and run
XAML.

So that's the story on that. HTH.

Hi Robin,
Thanks for the idea of Xaml Cruncher. For security reason, I could
not download a executable file directly in my office. Instead, I found the
XamlPad is one of the tool for .net 3.0 SDK in March 2007 CTP. It seems
that it serves the same purpose. Now I can render a standalone Xaml file in a
machine with XP. Thanks again.

[RobinS]

You're welcome. By the way, I have found that some xaml files will open in
my WinXP, and some won't. Someone I know who teaches a WPF class said xaml
files will open on one of his computers, but not the other one, both
running WinXP, and we're talking about trying to open the same xaml file on
both computers. So there's something wonky going on there.

BTW, the XAML cruncher's code is in the code download for Charles Petzold's
book, on his website. I installed it originally from his website, but
having no exe, couldn't create a OpenWith entry, then realized I had the
darn code. It's a little more elegant than XamlPad, with a few more
features. And it's a WPF application itself. Interesting.

Good luck.

Hi folks, I have installed .net 3.0 framework sucessfully in
a
machine
with XP, service pack 2. In the window explorer, I clicked
a
simplest XAML file, I got error message, "...msctf.dll not
found...." .
Then, I copied it into the local web server, and I tried to
access
it,
I got the similar error. The xaml is as below:
<Page
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
WindowTitle="Xaml Page"><StackPanel>
<Button HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Margin="24">Hello,
XAML!</Button> </StackPanel></Page>
Please advise, Thanks. Peter

We're seeing this same problem on some of our development
machines.
Are
you by chance working with so called CAT PCs?

Greetings,
Laurent
