Change the look of upload control to match one in telerik assembly minifier

[Mac P]

Hello

I want to make upload control looks exactly the same as one in http://minifier.telerik.com/
i.e Text and browse button next to it and than progress bar at the bottom.
Themed with windows 7 theme.

I am not a UI expert. Can anyone please help me with this?

Regards
Mac

Hi Mac P,

You have to change the template of the RadUpload in order to reposition the elements inside it. I am attaching a sample project with a modified style and template of the RadUpload. The style of the RadUpload in the sample is created against the latest versions of the control. If you are using an older version, you would have to use the prior style/template of the control with similar modifications.

Alex,

Thanks for your help. I have latest of silverlight controls. When i try to run this sample i get following error
Line: 56
Error: Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application
Code: 2272   
Category: ParserError      
Message: Cannot find a Resource with the Name/Key Theme    
File:     
Line: 276    
Position: 38    

And i cannot load designer correctly. It fails on all Templatebinding attribute. for e.g. {TemplateBinding ProgressValue}
Do i have to include some resource file or theme file?

Hi Mac P,

This is because you are not using the latest internal builds. If you want to use the same style, you would have to use the builds from November or Q3 beta. If that is not an option for you, you could get the style for the RadUpload for your version (with Blend for example) and modify it accordingly based on the modifications in the style that I've provided.

Alex,

Thanks. I am using 2010.3.1018.1040 version (beta version). The UI designer renders fine now. But when i run aspx page i get the same error.

Hi Mac P,

Can you confirm that the dlls and references have updated correctly the project and the xap? Try cleaning and rebuilding the solution. Do you get the same exception if you created a new clean project with this style?
