Data Error with IsContentPreserved

[Michael]

Hi,

in my mainwindow i have a radtabcontrol and i bind it to a collection of tabitems. Further i have datatemplates for each view (user control) and a datatemplateselector. Everything works without problems but once i set the IsContentPreserved property to true i get

System.Windows.Data Error: 25 : Both 'ContentTemplate' and 'ContentTemplateSelector' are set;  'ContentTemplateSelector' will be ignored. ContentPresenter:'ContentPresenter' (Name='')

here is my xaml:

<telerik:RadWindow.Resources>
       <DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplateApplicationSettings">
           <local:ApplicationSettings/>
       </DataTemplate>
       <DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplateConversionRules">
           <local:ConversionRules/>
       </DataTemplate>
       <DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplateProductionOrderConversion">
           <local:ProductionOrderConversion/>
       </DataTemplate>
       <localutil:MainMenuContentTemplateSelector x:Key="MainMenutemplateSelector"
               ApplicationSettingsTemplate="{StaticResource ContentTemplateApplicationSettings}"
               ConversionRulesTemplate="{StaticResource ContentTemplateConversionRules}"
               ProductionOrderConversionTemplate="{StaticResource ContentTemplateProductionOrderConversion}"/>
   </telerik:RadWindow.Resources>
   <Grid>
       <Grid.RowDefinitions>
           <RowDefinition/>
           <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
       </Grid.RowDefinitions>
       <telerik:RadTabControl x:Name="MainMenuTabControl"
                              IsContentPreserved="True"
                              ItemsSource="{Binding MainMenuTabItems}"
                              ContentTemplateSelector="{StaticResource MainMenutemplateSelector}">
           <telerik:RadTabControl.ItemTemplate>
               <DataTemplate>
                   <TextBlock Text="{Binding Header}" />
               </DataTemplate>
           </telerik:RadTabControl.ItemTemplate>
       </telerik:RadTabControl>
       <StatusBar Grid.Row="1" Background="{StaticResource HeaderAndStatusBackground}">
           <StatusBarItem>
               <TextBlock Text="{Binding StatusText}" Foreground="White"/>
           </StatusBarItem>
       </StatusBar>
   </Grid>

What is the reason for this error?

thanks,

Hi Michael,

We are aware of this warning. Basically, we are setting the ContentTemplate and the ContentTemplateSelector in code to the dynamically created persisted content presenter (which corresponds to the IsContentPreserved logic) and that is why there is such warning. Setting the IsContentPreserved property preserves the content of all tabs no matter which of the two properties is set ContentTemplate or ContentTemplateSelector. The data will be load only the first time and will be preserved when you change tabs. This warning shouldn't cause any problem to your application.

If this warning is stopping you from proceeding further with your application you can contact us again with more information about your case.

Hi,

no, it is not stopping me from proceeding. I was just wondering if there is a way to get rid of this warning. 

Thanks for your answer.
