I've looked through multiple solutions on here and the internet on how to solve this but I can't seem to get it. I'm just trying to make a simple login for an application I'm developing. Eventually I'll have it connected to an SQL database on a server but forget that right now. Here's the code:
<Controls:MetroWindow x:Class="ScotiaPlayTrade.Wpf.Application.LoginWindow"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:ff="clr-namespace:ScotiaPlayTrade.Wpf.Application"
xmlns:Controls="clr-namespace:MahApps.Metro.Controls;assembly=MahApps.Metro"
xmlns:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib" Title="Authentication"

</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<!--Username Layout-->
<TextBlock

Grid.Column="0"
Grid.Row="0">

</TextBlock>
<TextBox
Margin="10,10,10,10"
x:Name="userName"
Grid.Column="5"
Grid.Row="0"
Text="{x:Static System:Environment.UserName}"
IsReadOnly="True">
</TextBox>
<!--Password Layout-->
<TextBlock
Margin="10,10,10,10"
Grid.Column="0"
Grid.Row="1">
Password
</TextBlock>
<PasswordBox
Margin="10,10,10,10"
Width="200"
x:Name="PasswordBox"
ff:PasswordBoxAssistant.BindPassword="true" x:PasswordBoxAssistant.BoundPassword="{Binding Path=Password, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="1">
</PasswordBox >
<!--Buttons Layout-->
<StackPanel Margin="3,3,3,3" Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2">
<Button
Margin="10,10,10,10"
Click="Login_Click"
IsDefault="True">
Login
</Button>
<Button
Margin="10,10,10,10"
Click="Exit_Click"
IsCancel="True">
Exit
</Button>
<Button
Margin="10,10,10,10"
Click="AddNewUser_Click"
IsCancel="True">
New User
</Button>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
That's my LoginWindow.xaml and here's my cs code for the window.
public partial class LoginWindow
{
public LoginWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
//Clicking Login Button
private void Login_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//Check that password field is not null
if (PasswordBox != null)
{
//Check that username matches password, if it matches then open main window
//Launch the main window after authentication is complete
MainWindow myMainWindow = new MainWindow();
myMainWindow.Show();
//Close the login screen
Close();
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Password field cannot be empty!");
}
}
//Clicking Exit Button
private void Exit_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Close();
}
//Clicking Exit Button
private void AddNewUser_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Not yet implemented");
}
}
I've tried everything with passwordbox it keeps giving me an error that WPF doesn't support it, things like PasswordBoxAssistant, and Helper. Would appreciate any help. Here are the error messages:
Error 1 PasswordBoxAssistant is not supported in a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) project.
Error 5 The property 'PasswordBoxAssistant.BindPassword' does not exist in XML namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'. Line 50 Position 13.
Ok so now I made a class called PasswordValidation and added the PasswordBoxAssistant code.

public static class PasswordBoxAssistant
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty BoundPassword =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("BoundPassword", typeof(string), typeof(PasswordBoxAssistant), new PropertyMetadata(string.Empty, OnBoundPasswordChanged));
public static readonly DependencyProperty BindPassword = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
"BindPassword", typeof(bool), typeof(PasswordBoxAssistant), new PropertyMetadata(false, OnBindPasswordChanged));
private static readonly DependencyProperty UpdatingPassword =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("UpdatingPassword", typeof(bool), typeof(PasswordBoxAssistant), new PropertyMetadata(false));
private static void OnBoundPasswordChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
PasswordBox box = d as PasswordBox;
// only handle this event when the property is attached to a PasswordBox
// and when the BindPassword attached property has been set to true
if (d == null || !GetBindPassword(d))
{
return;
}
// avoid recursive updating by ignoring the box's changed event
box.PasswordChanged -= HandlePasswordChanged;
string newPassword = (string)e.NewValue;
if (!GetUpdatingPassword(box))
{
box.Password = newPassword;
}
box.PasswordChanged += HandlePasswordChanged;
}
private static void OnBindPasswordChanged(DependencyObject dp, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
// when the BindPassword attached property is set on a PasswordBox,
// start listening to its PasswordChanged event
PasswordBox box = dp as PasswordBox;
if (box == null)
{
return;
}
bool wasBound = (bool)(e.OldValue);
bool needToBind = (bool)(e.NewValue);
if (wasBound)
{
box.PasswordChanged -= HandlePasswordChanged;
}
if (needToBind)
{
box.PasswordChanged += HandlePasswordChanged;
}
}
private static void HandlePasswordChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
PasswordBox box = sender as PasswordBox;
// set a flag to indicate that we're updating the password
SetUpdatingPassword(box, true);
// push the new password into the BoundPassword property
SetBoundPassword(box, box.Password);
SetUpdatingPassword(box, false);
}
public static void SetBindPassword(DependencyObject dp, bool value)
{
dp.SetValue(BindPassword, value);
}
public static bool GetBindPassword(DependencyObject dp)
{
return (bool)dp.GetValue(BindPassword);
}
public static string GetBoundPassword(DependencyObject dp)
{
return (string)dp.GetValue(BoundPassword);
}
public static void SetBoundPassword(DependencyObject dp, string value)
{
dp.SetValue(BoundPassword, value);
}
private static bool GetUpdatingPassword(DependencyObject dp)
{
return (bool)dp.GetValue(UpdatingPassword);
}
private static void SetUpdatingPassword(DependencyObject dp, bool value)
{
dp.SetValue(UpdatingPassword, value);
}
}
}
The following are the errors I get:
Error 1 The name "PasswordBoxAssistant" does not exist in the namespace "clr-namespace:ScotiaPlayTrade.Wpf.Application". 50 13
Error 2 PasswordBoxAssistant is not supported in a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) project. 50 58
Error 3 The attachable property 'BindPassword' was not found in type 'PasswordBoxAssistant'. 50 13
