How to get the List of Sorted SystemParameters in WPF using F#

Today I am discussing that how can we get the Sorted list of System Parameters. We need a GridView, ListView and TextBlock control for implementation of Sorted SytemParameters. Firstly we will define two GridView column and then we create a DataTemplate for the second Column and display the List of the SystemParameters.

You will create two GridView column by the below code block.

// Create two GridView columns.
new GridViewColumn(Header="Property Name",
Width=200.0,
DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("Name"))
|> grvlu.Columns.Add

Then you will create a DataTemplate for the second column by the below code block.

// Create DataTemplate for second column
let template = new DataTemplate(typeof<string>)
let factoryTextBlock = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof<TextBlock>)
(TextBlock.HorizontalAlignmentProperty, HorizontalAlignment.Right)
|> factoryTextBlock.SetValue

(TextBlock.TextProperty,new Binding("Value"))
|> factoryTextBlock.SetBinding

template.VisualTree <- factoryTextBlock

new GridViewColumn(Header="Value",
Width=200.0,
CellTemplate=template,
DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("Value"))
|> grvlu.Columns.Add

Lastly You will sort the List of Parameters. The Below code is for sorting the Parameters.

let srtlst = new SortedList<string,ParaSys>()

typeof<SystemParameters>.GetProperties() |> Seq.iter (fun prop ->
if (prop.PropertyType <> typeof<ResourceKey>) then
(prop.Name,
new ParaSys(Name=prop.Name,
Value = prop.GetValue(null,null)))
|> srtlst.Add
)
vlst.ItemsSource <- srtlst.Values

Steps For sorted SystemParameters

Step 1: Firstly Open a new project in F# using Visual Studio 2010. Select F# WPF application template and give name to it like below image.

New Project Dialog Box

Step 2: Now add the below define references to the project by right clicking on project in solution explorer.

PresentationCore
PresentationFramework
System
System.Xaml
WindowsBase

Step 3: When you will add all these refrences your Solution Explorer will look like below image.

Solution Explorer

Step 4: Now click on Program.fs file in solution explorer and write below code in Program.fs window, your window will look like below image.

open System
open System.Collections.Generic
open System.ComponentModel

open System.Windows
open System.Windows.Controls
open System.Windows.Data
open System.Windows.Input
open System.Windows.Media

type ParaSys() = class
let mutable nStr=""
let mutable ovl = null

member this.Name
with get() = nStr
and set (value:string) = nStr <- value

member this.Value
with get() = ovl
and set (value:obj) = ovl <- value

override this.ToString() =
this.Name + "=" + this.Value.ToString()
end

let grvlu = new GridView()
let vlst = new ListView(View=grvlu)

// Create two GridView columns.
new GridViewColumn(Header="Property Name",
Width=200.0,
DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("Name"))
|> grvlu.Columns.Add

// Create DataTemplate for second column
let template = new DataTemplate(typeof<string>)
let factoryTextBlock = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof<TextBlock>)
(TextBlock.HorizontalAlignmentProperty, HorizontalAlignment.Right)
|> factoryTextBlock.SetValue

(TextBlock.TextProperty,new Binding("Value"))
|> factoryTextBlock.SetBinding

template.VisualTree <- factoryTextBlock

new GridViewColumn(Header="Value",
Width=200.0,
CellTemplate=template,
DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("Value"))
|> grvlu.Columns.Add

let srtlst = new SortedList<string,ParaSys>()

typeof<SystemParameters>.GetProperties() |> Seq.iter (fun prop ->
if (prop.PropertyType <> typeof<ResourceKey>) then
(prop.Name,
new ParaSys(Name=prop.Name,
Value = prop.GetValue(null,null)))
|> srtlst.Add
)
vlst.ItemsSource <- srtlst.Values

let wndw = new Window(Title="Sorted List of System Parameters",
Content=vlst)

#if COMPILED
[<STAThread()>]
do
let app = Application() in
app.Run(wndw) |> ignore
#endif

Step 5: Now press F5 to execute the Code.

Output

Systemparam Output1

Systemparam Output2

Systemparam Output3
