Hello, I'm having an issue using the GridView..

I have an application (x86) that references several assemblies (any cpu)
The application references a WPF user control library, which contains, among many other parts, a window with a RadGridView.
When code wants to open this window, I get the following exception in the constructor:

Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView, PublicKeyToken=5803cfa389c90ce7' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

What is going on here?

I did try setting the user control library to be x86 as well, without that having any effect.

I've now tried copying the dll files to a lib folder and reference them at that location, still the same error.

For some reason, when I added all four at the same time earlier, they lost the path information, so I readded them one at a time from lib this time, still the same error occurs.

Clearly, these DLLs are not in the GAC like various posts I found online suggest is a problem, as this error is happening on my computer, not a client computer. This is starting to become quite frustrating!

Okay, this is just so damned odd..
I now set a name on one of my grids and did a null check on it from code - and then the references got passed on properly.
...what?

You need to add some references (whomever it complains about) to your main project, not just the WPF control lib project

I don't accept that.

The problem has gone away now that I reference the telerik controls in code.
I consider this a visual studio bug - a XAML reference is not counted as a referenced library being used.
Somewhere, VS is trimming the reference hoping to save on space..

I had this exact issue.  My project would be fine and then a small change would cause this exact exception.
Adding a name to my grid fixed the issue.
