thinkpixellab / kaxaml Goto Github PK

This is still a great tool despite the report not being change in 6 years :). Not sure if this is the best place to post a bug but here goes.

I started using it again after a long while and the thing keeped up and crashing one me. A hard crash - no warning.

I pulled the repo and ran it and found this to be the problem:

    static void _Editor_TextSelectionChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        EditSelectionChanged(_Editor.SelectedText);
    }

Seems EditSelectionChanged is null. The only reference I could find to it was in ColorPickerPlugin so I assume it being null is not unusual. So I simply changed it to this and the problem went away:

    static void _Editor_TextSelectionChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        EditSelectionChanged?.Invoke(_Editor.SelectedText);
    }

Pretty simple it seems or am I missing something?

Thanks

Dear developers of Kaxaml. The site www.kaxaml.com - it looks to be expired. I don't know if that was intentional or an over site, considering the waning popularity of WPF (although Xamarin is on the rise).
I have taken over rewriting Andrew Troelsen's book on Apress (Pro C#), splitting duties with Andrew on the last edition (7th), and now as a solo writer for the C# 7.1 version (8th edition).
I use Kaxaml in the chapters on WPF since it's such an excellent tool for teaching and experimenting with XAML. I would like to continue to use it in the book, so I wanted to reach out to you to see what my options are. Do you plan on reviving Kaxaml.com? If not, would you be opposed to me forking the repo and using that in the book? Or I can just point out this repo in the book, but provide a compiled version for the readers to download.
It's the #1 book in Apress's .NET catalog, so I want to do right by the readers and right by you.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
