UiXamlSerializer is less tested for WP7 — I may revisit it at some point (among other things, there are missing behaviors in WP7 that make it impossible to serialize things like Paths, etc. from 3rd party code). The regular XamlSerializer, on the other hand, should work fine.

Hi David,

I tried to use your UiXamlSerializer from SLaB.Utilities.Xaml.Serializer.Phone.dll and SLaB.Utilities.Xaml.Serializer.UI.Phone.dll from SLaBv0.11 for Windows Phone 7 application, but any simple XAML object, such I serialized, throw me InvalidOperationException like “The Writer is closed or in error state”.

XAML:

C#:



UiXamlSerializer uxs = new UiXamlSerializer();

string s = uxs.Serialize(button); //throw Exception

Libraries SLaB.Utilities.Xaml.Serializer.dll and SLaB.Utilities.Xaml.Serializer.UI.dll from SLaBv0.11work very well at the same code in Silverlight application.
Does UiXamlSerializer work also for Windows Phone 7? Could you kindly clarify this for me?

Denis

Did you consider creating a xaml splash page for SLaB like http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6589941/jsdatabinding/index.html ?

Shane,

There is no such dependency. The “xmlns:SLaB” reference is to an arbitrary string — it’s defined locally in the assemblies themselves and does not rely on my website being up. I could just have easily have made it “xmlns:SLaB=’http://somefakesite.com’”, and it likewise would have no dependency on that site’s existence. The Uri there is just an alias to the set of CLR namespaces defined in the SLaB assemblies. I had to choose something, so I chose a Uri that corresponds with my website — there’s no online magic there

In principle, it shouldn’t do anything bad/scary. I also thought about doing this, but ultimately decided to do simple string matching to simplify the syntax. You’re welcome to make modifications (and for that matter, though it’s been a long time since I looked carefully at that code, I think I provided extensibility through an interface for rules, so you can make your AllowRegex/DenyRegex if you want )

Hi David,

What is the best way I can change the xmlns:SLaB namespace reference on the MainPage.xaml to a local reference. I have put a lot of work getting my application working with your ContentLoader solution but I have just realized it has a dependency on your website being up. Can you help me please?
