OK,now that I've got lots of free time on my hands, I thought I'd spend it learning WPF.

Please tell me that there's a way to specify the the event handlers from the property sheet, such that it can go in the code and not in the XAML!!

I have some Mouse event and if it's specified in the XAML, it looks like this (and you can see these event handlers listed in the Property Sheet when using the designer):

      <Canvas Grid.Column="1" Margin="0" Name="paintCanvas" 
         Background="White" MouseMove="paintCanvas_MouseMove" 
         MouseLeftButtonDown="paintCanvas_MouseLeftButtonDown" 
         MouseLeftButtonUp="paintCanvas_MouseLeftButtonUp" 
         MouseRightButtonDown="paintCanvas_MouseRightButtonDown"
         MouseRightButtonUp="paintCanvas_MouseRightButtonUp"/>

Now, color me silly, but I don't really believe that this stuff belongs in the XAML!

So, as an experiment, I removed the MouseMove from the above, and defined it in the xaml.cs file, in the constructor. It works fine, as I expected it would. But, when looking at the property sheet when in the designer, the MouseMove event does not show the paintCanvas_MouseMove event handler, it's empty. Well, ok, I can even live with that, because it's the same behavior as in a WinForm Form or UserControl if I set up the event handler myself instead of through the designer. No biggie.

*But*, if I try to specify any eventhandler from the Property Sheet, it insists on putting it in the XAML ... is there a setting somewhere in VS where I can specify that I'd prefer this get put in the code instead of in the XAML?

TIA,
