In Azure as IaaS (Infrastructure as a service) model, dedicated VMs are assigned to you with full control over O/S, updates etc. Generally used for application development, testing and IT operations.

In Azure as PaaS(Platform as a service) model, Azure controls the VM instance and maintains the environment(O/S, updates etc.), while you are just concerned about your application.

How to set Contorl's Height / Width / Watermark as ToolTipService.ToolTip="{}" ?

Need help.

I have a stack panel vertical which have a TextBlock and then another StackPanel horizontal with 2 TextBlock.

the second textblock on the horizontal StackPanel is set to wrap but it doesn't. Here's the entire code along with a screenshot that shows what it does. How would you modify it so the Note Text wrap and make the ToolTip grow to show all the text because in 1024 X 768, the ToolTip needs to grow vertically if no space is available to show the Note Text

StackPanel spContent = new StackPanel() { Orientation = System.Windows.Controls.Orientation.Vertical, VerticalAlignment = System.Windows.VerticalAlignment.Stretch };

StackPanel spNote = new StackPanel() { Orientation = System.Windows.Controls.Orientation.Horizontal, VerticalAlignment = System.Windows.VerticalAlignment.Stretch };

TextBlock tbHeaderNote = new TextBlock()

{

FontFamily = new FontFamily("Courier New"),

FontSize = 14,

Margin = new Thickness() { Left = 4 },

Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White),

TextWrapping = System.Windows.TextWrapping.Wrap,

Text = "Note : "

};

TextBlock tbNote = new TextBlock()

{

FontFamily = new FontFamily("Courier New"),

FontSize = 14,

Margin = new Thickness() { Left = 4 },

Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White),

TextWrapping = System.Windows.TextWrapping.Wrap,

Text = ncs.U_Note + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine,

};

spNote.Children.Add(tbHeaderNote);

spNote.Children.Add(tbNote);

TextBlock tbInfo = new TextBlock()

{

FontFamily = new FontFamily("Courier New"),

FontSize = 14,

Margin = new Thickness() { Left = 4 },

Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White),

Text = "Interface Control Name : " + ncs.Name + Environment.NewLine +

"Silverlight Property : " + SLProperty + Environment.NewLine +

"Step : " + ncs.U_ApprovalStepId.ToString() + Environment.NewLine +

"SAP Form : " + SAPForm + Environment.NewLine +

"SQL Table Field : " + SQLTableField + Environment.NewLine +

"SDK Property : " + ncs.U_SAPProperty,

TextWrapping = TextWrapping.NoWrap,

};

spContent.Children.Add(tbInfo);

spContent.Children.Add(spNote);

Oh I saw the MaxWidth on the border. Removing it solved the problem.

To clear up those 2 errors, you need to set the TargetType for the ControlTemplate, i.e.:

(Got those errors too, thanks to <a href='http://www.emadibrahim.com/2008/03/14/silverlight-templatebinding-throwing-an-error/'>this post for the answer</a>

I'm getting the following two errors when I copy the last tool tip example XAML into Blend.

What am I missing?

ERROR 1: The member "Content" is not recognized or is not accessible.

ERROR 2: The member "ContentTemplate" is not recognized or is not accessible.

I'm sort of a noob and more of a designer rather than a developer so I just opened a new solution in Blend and pasted in the XAML. Let me know what I'm missing. THANKS!!

JamieH, this does the same thing in code:

ToolTip tt = new ToolTip();

tt.Template = (ControlTemplate) Resources["ToolTipTemplate"];

tt.Content = new TextBlock() {

FontFamily = new FontFamily("Georgia"),

FontSize = 14, Text = "This is a longer string of text.",

TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap };

ToolTipService.SetToolTip(textBox, tt);

How could you manipulate this custom tooltip template from code? For example, say I want to generate tool-tips on the fly, but I want to apply a custom template (such as the yellow background with the info icon), how would you do that?
