How to start with crosslight?

HadesCH — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 09:34:21 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have just acquired the license for Crosslight, and I will have some questions about this powerful framekwork.

In order to start my application well, I would like to leave right from the start.

At first, I would like to know how to put the license runtime, because I can not insert it in and in the startup page, they say to put me the xml in the AssemblyInfo.cs (in the CORE project)

[Assembly: IntersoftLicense ("Insert your runtime license here"]]

While in my xml, I have several tags: id, type, licensedproducts, customer and signature

I tried to put the id and signature but it's still marked "trial version"

And my second question concerns the start of a mobile project.

I would like to create a mobile application that gathers almost all the services offered by the framework (gps, push notification, push pull, login with facebook etc etc)

But I do not know if I have to go and implement services as per tutorial (with project wizzard and select blank project), where to go on the template business locazliable and change according to my needs.

How do you advise me to start my big project?

I have visual studio 2015 company with a virtual machine and mac el captain

Thank you in advance for your answers :-)

Crosslight Form Editor - Radio

thomas.albert@tea-net.ch — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 15:27:34 GMT

Hello Crosslight Support.

The [Display(CaptionKey = "ResourceKey")] attribute doesn't work with editor type radio button. Using it, no translation is used when displaying the editor view. Instead the property name shows up. [Display(Caption = "MyCaption")] works, but it is useless in multi language apps.

Please, fix asap.

Crosslight 6 Out Now

thomas.albert@tea-net.ch — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 17:32:01 GMT

Hello Fellow Crosslight Developers,

I wonder when the headline "Crosslight 6 Out Now" will make it to this forum. Will there ever be a Crosslight 6?

I am trying to get an answer to this question for almost 3 months now. I have written countless mails to Intersoft where I asked about the next release date of Crosslight and about a roadmap for Crosslight.

I never got a binding answer. It sounded always like "we will pass your question over to the dev team and let you know".

Does anybody have information about the future of Crosslight? It would be nice to share it in this post.

I really like developing with Crosslight, but the support is inexistent for weeks now. Reproducable bugs are not fixed and there is no official statement about future release. I wonder if I should hold on to develop new apps with Crosslight.

I would really appreciated to hear something from fellow Crosslight devs or get a binding statement from Intersoft.

Thanks,

Thomas

Crosslight 5 iOS RootView within RootView

thomas.albert@tea-net.ch — Fri, 28 Oct 2016 07:42:44 GMT

Hello Crosslight Support,

I have ported an existing app from Crosslight 4 to Crosslight 5. The app has a special behaviour. It starts with a drawer navigation. Doing a button click in one of the views, I navigate to a nested drawer navigation and the navigation drawer changes to the nested drawer.

Both DrawerViewControllers have the attribute [RegisterNavigation(IsRootView = true)].

In Crosslight 4 this works perfect. In Crosslight 5 I get an error message when navigating to the nested drawer.

It just says System.NullReferenceException (System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal).

Please investigate and fix asap. This one is really urgent.

Thanks,

Thomas

How to implement ISupportIncrementalLoading

gabriel — Fri, 14 Oct 2016 20:00:47 GMT

I wonder how I can implement ISupportRefresh because I followed the documentation (http://developer.intersoftsolutions.com/display/crosslight/Displaying+Data#DisplayingData-ImplementingIncrementalLoading), but could not implement the HasMoreItems and also could not implement the limit data,, someone could help me how I can do this.

Follow my ViewModel and my controller.

my viewmodel

public class PersonListViewModel:ListViewModelBase<Person>, ISupportIncrementalLoading, ISupportRefresh
    {
        private bool _isDataLoading;
        private bool _enableIncrementalLoading;
        private bool _enableIncrementalRefresh;
        private bool _enableRefresh;
        WebApi rest;
       public PersonListViewModel()
        {
            rest = new WebApi();



            this.EnableIncrementalLoading = true;
            this.EnableAsyncFilter = true;
            this.EnableRefresh = true;
            LoadDataIncremental();
        }

        public bool EnableIncrementalLoading
        {
            get
            {
                return _enableIncrementalLoading;
            }

            set
            {
                if (_enableIncrementalLoading != value)
                {
                    _enableIncrementalLoading = value;
                    OnPropertyChanged("EnableIncrementalLoading");

                }
            }
        }



        public bool IsDataLoading
        {
            get
            {
                return _isDataLoading;
            }
            set
            {
                if (_isDataLoading != value)
                {
                    _isDataLoading = value;
                    OnPropertyChanged("IsDataLoading");
                }
            }
        }

        public async void LoadDataIncremental()
        {
            this.IsDataLoading = true;

            this.SourceItems = await rest.GetPersons();

            this.IsDataLoading = false;

        }

        public bool EnableIncrementalRefresh
        {
            get
            {
                return _enableIncrementalRefresh;
            }
            set
            {
                if (_enableIncrementalRefresh != value)
                {
                    _enableIncrementalRefresh = value;
                    OnPropertyChanged("EnableIncrementalRefresh");
                }
            }

            }
            set
            {
                if (_enableRefresh != value)
                {

            }
        }

        public bool HasMoreItems
        {
            get
            {
                throw new NotImplementedException();
            }
        }



        public async void RefreshData()
        {
            this.IsDataLoading = true;

        {
            base.ExecuteRefresh(parameter);
            this.RefreshData();
        }
    }

my controller

 public class PersonsController : ApiController
    {
        private DBEntities db = new DBEntities();

        // GET: api/Persons
        public IQueryable<Person> GetPersons()
        {
            return db.Persons.Take(20);
        }

Crosslight Android ContextualToolbar

thomas.albert@tea-net.ch — Fri, 02 Sep 2016 11:50:34 GMT

Hello Yudi aka Crosslight Support,

I have a question concerning the contextual toolbar on Android. I have a recyclerviewfragment where I add a custom command in the contextual toolbar. After executing this command the view stays in edit mode. The IsEditing variable in the ViewModel is false, but as said the view stays in edit mode.

When I compare this to a built in command like Delete it behaves different. After deleting a list item the view is no longer in edit mode. I cannot see any command that switches the view modes, so I guess it is done behind the scenes.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Thomas

Crosslight Form Builder iOS Tablet

thomas.albert@tea-net.ch — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 08:17:33 GMT

Hello Crosslight Support,

there are some layout problems with the Crosslight form builder on iOS tablets.

In general the layout on an iPad Pro looks wired. The margins differ depending on the layout style.

In particular on iOS 8 there is a problem with the iPad Air. With iOS 9 the problem is fixed. Please, see attached screenshot.

Thanks for investigating.

Crosslight vNext?

thomas.albert@tea-net.ch — Fri, 26 Aug 2016 14:40:50 GMT

Hello Crosslight Support,

when will be the release of the next Crosslight version? Crosslight 5 Update 4 or Crosslight 6?

I also asked for a Crosslight roadmap some weeks ago. It would be nice for us Crosslight developers to have an impression what to expect next.

Thanks,

Thomas
