Silverlight 3 XamlWriter - v0.4 - DataTemplate support

The new version of XamlWriter with DataTemplate support is now available. Check the previous posts for download and usage information.

While it is possible to recreate the DataTemplate it is not possible to recreate ContentTemplate. Hence I couldn't add support for ContentTemplate. There is also support for the Style class but there is an issue with it.

The DataTemplate example

Assuming an Xaml like this

<UserControl x:Class="test2.MainPage" x:Name="MyControl"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007" 
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
    xmlns:chartingToolkit="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Charting;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Toolkit"
    xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls"
    Width="1000" Height="300">
    <Border BorderBrush="Green" BorderThickness="4">
        <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"  >
            <controls:TreeView x:Name="trv" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Width="500" BorderThickness="4" BorderBrush="Purple">
                <controls:TreeView.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <Border BorderBrush="Blue" BorderThickness="4">
                            <Grid>
                                <Border BorderBrush="Yellow" BorderThickness="4">
                                    <TextBlock Text="Hello"></TextBlock>
                                </Border>
                            </Grid>
                        </Border>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </controls:TreeView.ItemTemplate>
            </controls:TreeView>
            <Button x:Name="zz" Width="100" Height="100" Click="Button_Click"/>
        </Grid>
    </Border>
</UserControl>


WriteXaml(MyControl, XamlWriterSettings.LogicalTree) will generate this Xaml


<UserControl x:Name="MyControl" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007">
  <Border BorderThickness="4,4,4,4" BorderBrush="#FF008000">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="#FFFFFFFF">
      <TreeView BorderThickness="4,4,4,4" Width="500" x:Name="trv" BorderBrush="#FF800080">
        <TreeView.ItemTemplate>
          <DataTemplate>
            <Border BorderThickness="4,4,4,4" BorderBrush="#FF0000FF">
              <Grid>
                <Border BorderThickness="4,4,4,4" BorderBrush="#FFFFFF00">
                  <TextBlock Text="Hello" />
                </Border>
              </Grid>
            </Border>
          </DataTemplate>
        </TreeView.ItemTemplate>
      </TreeView>
      <Button Width="100" Height="100" x:Name="zz" />
    </Grid>
  </Border>
</UserControl>
