Documentation: DTS.Viewer Main View Module

1. Purpose

This module contains the main view components for the DTS Viewer application, implementing a WPF-based UI with multiple view variants (standard, lite, export, and viewer modes). The views serve as code-behind files for XAML-defined user interfaces, handling view initialization, event subscription via Prism's event aggregator, and PDF/PNG export functionality. These views implement interfaces from DTS.Common.Interface to enable loose coupling with view models in what appears to be a MVVM architecture.

2. Public Interface

MainView

public partial class MainView : IMainView

• Constructor: MainView() — Initializes the component via InitializeComponent().
• Role: Primary main window view implementation.

ViewerShellView

public partial class ViewerShellView : IViewerShellView

• Constructor: ViewerShellView() — Initializes the component via InitializeComponent().
• Role: Shell container view for the viewer mode.

MainViewLite

public partial class MainViewLite : IMainViewerView

• Constructor: MainViewLite() — Initializes the component via InitializeComponent().
• Role: Lightweight version of the main viewer view.

ExportMainView

public partial class ExportMainView : IExportMainView

• Constructor: ExportMainView() — Initializes the component via InitializeComponent().
• Role: Main view for export functionality.

ViewerMainView

public partial class ViewerMainView : IViewerMainView

• Constructor: ViewerMainView() — Initializes the component via InitializeComponent().
• Role: Main view for viewer mode. Contains commented-out AvalonDock layout serialization/deserialization logic.

ExportMainViewGrid

public partial class ExportMainViewGrid : IExportMainViewGrid

• Constructor: ExportMainViewGrid() — Initializes component and subscribes to Loaded event.
• Methods:
  • public int SaveToPDF(string directory, string pdfFileName) — Renders MainShell to a PDF and PNG file. Returns > 0 on success, < 0 on failure, 0 if MainShell is not ready.
• Event Handlers:
  • ExportMainViewGrid_Loaded — Resolves IEventAggregator and subscribes to GraphLoadedCountNotification.
  • OnGraphLoadedCountNotification(GraphLoadedCountNotificationArg arg) — Triggers focus setting after 3-second delay if DataContext matches arg.ParentVM.
  • SetFocus() — Empty implementation (no-op).

ViewerMainViewGrid

public partial class ViewerMainViewGrid : IViewerMainViewGrid

• Constructor: ViewerMainViewGrid() — Initializes component and subscribes to Loaded event.
• Methods:
  • public int SaveToPDF(string directory, string pdfFileName) — Renders MainShell to a PDF and PNG file. Returns > 0 on success, < 0 on failure, 0 if MainShell is not ready.
• Event Handlers:
  • ViewerMainViewGrid_Loaded — Resolves IEventAggregator and subscribes to GraphLoadedCountNotification.
  • OnGraphLoadedCountNotification(GraphLoadedCountNotificationArg arg) — Triggers focus setting after 3-second delay if DataContext matches arg.ParentVM.
  • SetFocus() — Sets chartOptTab.IsSelected = true, makes it focusable, and calls Focus().

3. Invariants

1. Interface Implementation: All view classes implement their respective interfaces from DTS.Common.Interface (IMainView, IViewerShellView, IMainViewerView, IExportMainView, IViewerMainView, IExportMainViewGrid, IViewerMainViewGrid).

2. SaveToPDF Preconditions:

   • directory must be non-null and non-empty.
   • pdfFileName must be non-null, non-empty, and end with .pdf.
   • MainShell.DesiredSize.Height and MainShell.DesiredSize.Width must be > 0 for export to proceed.

3. Event Subscription Timing: IEventAggregator is resolved and event subscriptions occur in the Loaded event handler, not the constructor (per FB 14797).

4. Focus Timing: Focus is set via Dispatcher.BeginInvoke after a 3-second Thread.Sleep following GraphLoadedCountNotification.

5. DataContext Matching: OnGraphLoadedCountNotification only proceeds if DataContext is non-null and equals arg.ParentVM cast to IBaseViewModel.

4. Dependencies

External Dependencies (Imports)

Namespace	Purpose
DTS.Common.Interface	View interfaces (IMainView, IViewerShellView, IMainViewerView, IExportMainView, IViewerMainView, IExportMainViewGrid, IViewerMainViewGrid)
DTS.Common.Base	IBaseViewModel interface
DTS.Common.Events	GraphLoadedCountNotification event, GraphLoadedCountNotificationArg argument class
DTS.Common.Utilities.Logging	APILogger.LogException() for error logging
DTS.Common.Utils	PNGImageUtil.SaveImage() for PNG export
Prism.Events	IEventAggregator for pub/sub messaging
Prism.Ioc	ContainerLocator for service location
C1.WPF.Pdf	C1PdfDocument for PDF generation (ComponentOne library)
System.Windows.Media	VisualTreeHelper, PixelFormats for visual rendering
System.Windows.Media.Imaging	RenderTargetBitmap, WriteableBitmap for bitmap rendering

Downstream Dependencies

• Unknown from source alone. These views are likely referenced by view models or a bootstrapper/module initializer that resolves them via dependency injection.

5. Gotchas

1. Hardcoded 3-Second Delay: Both ExportMainViewGrid and ViewerMainViewGrid use Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3)) before setting focus. This is a timing-based workaround (FB 14797) that may be unreliable on slower systems.

2. Empty SetFocus() in ExportMainViewGrid: ExportMainViewGrid.SetFocus() is empty while ViewerMainViewGrid.SetFocus() has actual implementation. This appears to be intentional (perhaps the chartOptTab element doesn't exist in the export view), but is non-obvious.

3. Side Effect in SaveToPDF: The SaveToPDF method also generates a PNG file as a side effect via PNGImageUtil.SaveImage(), which may not be expected from the method name alone.

4. Service Locator Pattern: IEventAggregator is resolved via ContainerLocator.Container.Resolve<IEventAggregator>() rather than constructor injection, making the dependency implicit.

5. Commented-Out AvalonDock Code: ViewerMainView contains significant commented-out code for AvalonDock layout serialization (XmlLayoutSerializer, DockManager). This suggests either deprecated functionality or a feature that was intentionally disabled.

6. Return Value Ambiguity in SaveToPDF: The method returns 1 for success but the documentation states > 0. Callers should check > 0 rather than == 1 for forward compatibility.

7. ReSharper Disable Directives: Multiple files contain // ReSharper disable comments, indicating suppressed static analysis warnings. This may mask potential issues.
