Hi Dan, Sorry – no, I am not aware of an active project pursuing CSS-style selectors for WPF.

None of the external links work right now. Both google code and codeplex have no ironcss.

Has this kind of thing been done somewhere? Is there still an active project?

@Andy,

Hi – glad you liked it. To be honest I haven’t done anything else with this idea, I rarely have time to create fully-fledged projects / libraries! However, someone has adopted the idea and appears to be developing it under the project name of IronCSS: http://code.google.com/p/ironcss/

Regards, Colin E.

What is the status of this proposal?

I can’t find much trace of subsequent work but thee original idea seems well worth pursuing.

Regards
Andy

Colin,
I’ve recognized your work as prior art of IronCSS project currently hosted at http://code.google.com/p/ironcss/. I am commenting about it here just to rise your potential interest to that project.

Thanks for sharing this work!
Sergey

I also think about it.
Bust just only a elephant solution, and I think it least a month.
The better way is xslt doing it, like more MS direction ‘movement’.
Vs2010 maybe resolve.

Colin,
Thanks for your answer; I’d be very interested in building/helping you with the text-parsing (“xamlcss files”) as I described, I just lack some available time…

For your problem with the dynamically added controls, I hope you’ll find your answers soon. I believe (from my intuition mostly) that WPF has some way to tell you the tree has been updated, and as such you could reapply the styles. Anyway, I definitely believe the WPF Disciples will be able to help you much more with this.

Good luck and thanks!
Roberto
