❔ WPF Cannot find child when it's there

Hi! I am working on my own RoundedCorners attachedproperty however I have stumbled upon a problem Problem: When an item that starts invisible goes visible the effect is not applied I've tried experimenting with Loaded and IsVisibleChanged events, where IsVisibleChanged actually fires on the visibility change and the Loaded fires on the start But when IsVisibleChanged fires there are still no children detected in a tree to even try to look for a border

❔ WPF Border TemplateBinding

Hi! I've created such style for most of my controls to have rounded corners however i would like for them to be modifiable ive written an attached property however i do not have a way to bind it style

            <Style x:Key="RoundBorder">
                <Style.Resources>
                    <Style TargetType="Border">
                        <Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="3" />
                    </Style>
                </Style.Resources>
            </Style>

            <Style x:Key="RoundBorder">
                <Style.Resources>
                    <Style TargetType="Border">
                        <Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="3" />
                    </Style>
                </Style.Resources>
            </Style>

property

public static class ThemeProperties {
    public static float GetRoundedCornerRadius(DependencyObject obj) {
        return (float)obj.GetValue(RoundedCornerRadiusProperty);
    }
    public static void SetRoundedCornerRadius(DependencyObject obj, float value) {
        obj.SetValue(RoundedCornerRadiusProperty, value);
    }
    public static readonly DependencyProperty RoundedCornerRadiusProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("RoundedCornerRadius", typeof(float), typeof(ThemeProperties), new PropertyMetadata(3f));
}

public static class ThemeProperties {
    public static float GetRoundedCornerRadius(DependencyObject obj) {
        return (float)obj.GetValue(RoundedCornerRadiusProperty);
    }
    public static void SetRoundedCornerRadius(DependencyObject obj, float value) {
        obj.SetValue(RoundedCornerRadiusProperty, value);
    }
    public static readonly DependencyProperty RoundedCornerRadiusProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("RoundedCornerRadius", typeof(float), typeof(ThemeProperties), new PropertyMetadata(3f));
}

normally one would use a template binding in the style but i cant do that while keeping the style generic

        }
    }

    public event Action CurrentViewModelChanged;

    private void OnCurrentViewModelChanged() {
        CurrentViewModelChanged?.Invoke();
    }
}

navigation service

namespace WPFWeather.Services.NavigationService;
public class NavigationService<TViewModel> where TViewModel : ViewModelBase {
    private readonly NavigationStore _navigationStore;
    private readonly Func<TViewModel> _createViewModel;

    public NavigationService(NavigationStore navigationStore, Func<TViewModel> createViewModel) {
        _navigationStore = navigationStore;
        _createViewModel = createViewModel;
    }

    public void Navigate() {
        _navigationStore.CurrentViewModel = _createViewModel();
    }
}

namespace WPFWeather.Services.NavigationService;
public class NavigationService<TViewModel> where TViewModel : ViewModelBase {
    private readonly NavigationStore _navigationStore;
    private readonly Func<TViewModel> _createViewModel;

    public NavigationService(NavigationStore navigationStore, Func<TViewModel> createViewModel) {
        _navigationStore = navigationStore;
        _createViewModel = createViewModel;
    }

    public void Navigate() {
        _navigationStore.CurrentViewModel = _createViewModel();
    }
}

that i register to DI

            services.AddTransient<WeatherHomeViewModel>();
            services.AddSingleton<Func<WeatherHomeViewModel>>((s) => () => s.GetRequiredService<WeatherHomeViewModel>());
            services.AddSingleton<NavigationService<WeatherHomeViewModel>>();

            services.AddTransient<WelcomeViewModel>();
            services.AddSingleton<Func<WelcomeViewModel>>((s) => () => s.GetRequiredService<WelcomeViewModel>());
            services.AddSingleton<NavigationService<WelcomeViewModel>>();

            services.AddTransient<WeatherHomeViewModel>();
            services.AddSingleton<Func<WeatherHomeViewModel>>((s) => () => s.GetRequiredService<WeatherHomeViewModel>());
            services.AddSingleton<NavigationService<WeatherHomeViewModel>>();

            services.AddTransient<WelcomeViewModel>();
            services.AddSingleton<Func<WelcomeViewModel>>((s) => () => s.GetRequiredService<WelcomeViewModel>());
            services.AddSingleton<NavigationService<WelcomeViewModel>>();

and then inject

    public SetLocationViewModel(IWeatherProvider weatherProvider, AppStore appStore, NavigationService<WeatherHomeViewModel> weatherHomeNavigationService)

    public SetLocationViewModel(IWeatherProvider weatherProvider, AppStore appStore, NavigationService<WeatherHomeViewModel> weatherHomeNavigationService)

However using this architecture I cannot implement going back

❔ JsonDeserializer letting null for string type

Hi! I'm facing an issue where when deserializing json, the parser allows a null for string which breaks my app. Can i somehow specify that it is not to be null?

{"Location":{"CityName":null,"Latitude":0,"Longitude":0}}

{"Location":{"CityName":null,"Latitude":0,"Longitude":0}}

public class PersistentData {
    public Location? Location { get; set; }
}

public class Location {
    public string CityName { get; internal set; }
    public double Latitude { get; internal set; }
    public double Longitude { get; internal set; }
}

public class PersistentData {
    public Location? Location { get; set; }
}

public class Location {
    public string CityName { get; internal set; }
    public double Latitude { get; internal set; }
    public double Longitude { get; internal set; }
}

Wait for async function in synchronous context for X time until cancel

Hi! How can i wait X time for this function to finish or otherwise throw/cancel/return something This function comes from an outside library

    public bool ValidateAddress(Address address) {
        try {
            //wait for x or throw
            weatherApi.GetCurrentWeatherAsync(cityName: address.CityName);
            return true;
        }
        catch {
            return false;
        }
    }

    public bool ValidateAddress(Address address) {
        try {
            //wait for x or throw
            weatherApi.GetCurrentWeatherAsync(cityName: address.CityName);
            return true;
        }
        catch {
            return false;
        }
    }

Only things I see are with usage of await but i need this method to be synchronous

❔ Serialize inheriting types as a parent type

Hi! I have this class to group all localization types

public class Location {
}

public class Location {
}

sample localization type

public class Address : Location {
    public string CityName { get; }

    public Address(string cityName) {
        CityName = cityName;
    }

    public override string ToString() {
        return CityName;
    }
}

public class Address : Location {
    public string CityName { get; }

    public Address(string cityName) {
        CityName = cityName;
    }

    public override string ToString() {
        return CityName;
    }
}

and when i try to serialize it

public class PersistentData {
    public Location? Location { get; set; }
}

public class PersistentData {
    public Location? Location { get; set; }
}

            data.Location = new Address("Kraków");
            string json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(data);
            File.WriteAllText(storageFilePath, json);

            data.Location = new Address("Kraków");
            string json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(data);
            File.WriteAllText(storageFilePath, json);

I get

{
    "Location": {}
}

{
    "Location": {}
}
