Mapview from WPF to winForm

GabeSmith — Wed, 29 Jul 2015 17:19:34 GMT

Trying to use the Map View tool which is made for WPF in a WinForms project and I have the ElementHost set up and ready to take a UserControl but, when I try setting up the User control, it won't allow me to put the Map View Tool into the WPF User Control. It is just greyed out saying I can't use it which doesn't make sense to me. Anyone know why it won't let me put the Map View into the User Control? Any fixes? Thanks in advance!

I had a similar issue where I got an error message about an invalid invocation of the constructor for my WPF user control.

I got around this by adding an empty ElementHost to my WinForm and then adding the control through code:

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

elementHost1.Child = new MyWPFUserControlLibrary.UserControl1();
}

Thanks @MattNicol. This worked for me too. Had to use the code behind instead of the designer to add the UserControl.
