I agree with mball.  

I'm trying to compile some of the sample code in the xamFeatureBrowser.  I figured then I could tweak the code and start to get a sense of how things worked. 

However, - and I might be missing something obvious here - looking through the xamFeatureBrowser charting samples all of the source code examples reference have a reference to something like ResourceDictionary Source="..\..\Resources\xamChart\Default\Chart3D.xaml".  I can't find that file, and so I can't get the sample code to compile at all.

 I assume that the referneces farther down in the source code to things like, Style="{StaticResource PieRotation}" are refencing resources in the missing file.

 Any help would be great - this is cool stuff and I'd like to get it working.

Guys,

I just installed NA for WPF 7.2 (from the Web site and using standard keys to emulate your experience as closely as possible).  I have to say I thought it was pretty smooth.

From the Quick Start, I used the Open the xamFeatureBrowser Project Folder link in the Experience NetAdvantage for WPF section.  After quickly upgrading the project to VS 2008, I look at the project files, and the Chart3D.xaml is right there in the resources\xamChart\Default folder.

I did a CTRL-F5, and it ran just fine.  Clicked through some of the chart and ribbon samples w/ no problems.

I've attached the Chart3D.xaml to this message to help you keep moving, but I'm curious how it is that you're not finding the stuff that is right there for me.  How were you using/looking at the samples such that you couldn't find the XAML?  I'm not being critical or doubting your experience; I want to understand what's going on so we can maybe make it better/easier.

The feature browsers are supposed to be about as granular as we can get.  They demonstrate how to use particular features of our controls, and features are pretty much always targeted at particular scenarios (that are driving the feature requirement).  So you should be able to use those samples to understand and possibly even copy & paste in your own solutions. 

Of course, if we don't have the sample you're after, tell us concretely what you want.  Then at least we can see about adding it or writing an article, blog, or something.  But be as specific and concrete as possible.

Ambrose,

That's perfect - thank you.  I had been looking in C:\Program Files\Infragistics.  I didn't realize the installer just put the files right in the documents folder.  Thanks for the (now very obvious) pointer.

Disclaimer:

1. This would be a lot easier if my WPF foundation was more solid.  I'm sure the underlying source for most of my IG problems comes from my lack of WPF experience. Unfortunately my company doesn't have any time/$$ for training or IG wpf bootcamp. 
2. Thanks to all of you in the forums who have pulled my bacon out of the fire multiple times!

Ramblings:

My IG/WPF experience goes back and forth from one extreme to another:

• what I expect to be difficult is simple - "that looks way cool and was easy to do!"
• what I expect to be simple is difficult - "I got to write all that **** just to do that!?!?"

I concur with the above posts about including more "snippets".  What already exists is quite good - lots of useful information is out there, but there's always room for improvement

When I'm going through the IG sample code/Tangarine exemplar looking for something simple often feels like I'm digging through the entire MS Office source code just to find out how to format a number.  I've learned the most by piecing all the little snippets suggested in the forums and how they function, & learning how they work together, THEN the source codes and exemplars start making more sense.  One of your competitors documentation includes a lot more of "here's a bunch of snippets/FAQ's on how to....."  Maybe IG can do the same and also include the common stuff being asked in the forums.
