Subject: [PATCH] Fix 7 critical bugs in NumericUpDown and DateTimePicker
This commit addresses 7 critical issues identified through comprehensive code analysis:
1. NumericUpDown keyboard input blocking (#4561)
- Users can now type intermediate values (e.g., "5" when minimum is 50)
- Coercion happens on focus lost instead of blocking input
- Improves user experience significantly
2. DateTimePicker DateTimeKind inconsistency (#4551)
- All DateTime values now consistently return DateTimeKind.Local
- Eliminates timezone-related bugs and data inconsistencies
- Uses DateTime.SpecifyKind() for consistency
3. Double ValueChanged event firing
- Removed duplicate OnValueChanged() call in ChangeValueFromTextInput
- Event now fires exactly once per value change
- Improves performance and prevents duplicate processing
4. Dangerous async void method
- Converted SimulateDecimalPointKeyPress from async void to synchronous
- Eliminates risk of unhandled exceptions crashing the application
- Removed unnecessary await Task.FromResult(true)
5. Integer overflow in hexadecimal formatting
- Added validation before casting double to int in TryFormatHexadecimal
- Prevents OverflowException when value > int.MaxValue
- Properly rejects decimal values in hex mode
6. Event handler memory leaks in OnApplyTemplate
- Added cleanup code to remove old handlers before adding new ones
- Converted lambda expressions to named methods for proper removal
- Prevents memory leaks when templates change (theme/style switches)
7. Unnecessary double coercion in SetValueTo
- Removed manual CoerceValue() call
- Dependency property system already handles coercion automatically
- Improves performance by eliminating redundant processing
All fixes:
- Compile successfully across all target frameworks (net462, net6.0-windows, net8.0-windows)
- Include no breaking changes to the public API
- Are thoroughly documented with before/after code examples
- Have comprehensive testing guidelines
Fixes #4561, #4551
