Changelog

Same pattern as ReportsView — compiled binding with

$parent[ItemsControl].((vm:AccountRegisterViewModel)DataContext)

fails in dynamically-loaded plugin assemblies. Replaced with

ReflectionBinding using named element reference (#RegisterHost).

No remaining parent type cast bindings in Finance plugin views.

Complete rewrite of seed data generation to represent a real person's

finances over 12 months. Uses SeedHelper.CreateEntityAsync to capture

server-assigned entity IDs (fixes "Unknown" categories and $0 balances

caused by client-generated GUIDs not matching stored entity IDs).

Profile: single professional, $4,200/mo net income with realistic

expenses including rent ($1,650), car payment ($385), insurance,

seasonal utilities, weekly groceries, gas fills, dining out, coffee

shops, subscriptions, entertainment, clothing, and personal care.

Includes seasonal variation (higher electric in summer/winter, holiday

gift spending in December, tax refund in March, Black Friday in

November), opening equity balances, monthly budget allocations,

credit card payments, savings transfers, and reconciliation checkpoints.

The compiled binding cast ((vm:ReportsViewModel)DataContext) inside the

DateRangeOptions DataTemplate fails at runtime in dynamically-loaded plugin

assemblies. Switched to ReflectionBinding with a named element reference

(#DateRangeHost) to avoid the type resolution issue entirely.

Finance seed data now generates realistic transactions spanning 12 months

back from today, including bi-monthly paychecks, recurring bills, variable

spending (groceries, gas, dining, entertainment, clothing), savings transfers,

budget allocations, and reconciliation checkpoints. Extracted seed logic into

a dedicated FinanceSeedService for modularity.

Fixed InvalidCastException in Manage Categories dialog where ComboBox controls

used inline ComboBoxItem elements that couldn't be cast to RolloverBehavior

and GoalTargetType enums. Replaced with proper ItemsSource bindings using

typed wrapper records (RolloverOption, GoalTypeOption).

Fixed ReportsView crash (Unable to resolve type vm:ReportsViewModel) caused

by missing x:DataType on the date range DataTemplate.

Version bump: 3.7.0 -> 3.8.0

Replaces bare date pickers with quick-select buttons: 1 Week, 2 Weeks,

1 Month, 3 Months, 6 Months, 12 Months, 2 Years, 5 Years, All, Custom.

Selecting a preset auto-sets From/To dates and refreshes. Choosing

"Custom" reveals the MiniCalendarPicker controls for manual entry.

Version: 3.6.2 → 3.7.0
