RadSheduleView InvalidDesignerUpdateException

[Jonx]

Hello,
I've started using the RadSheduleView control.
I'm using it in a usercontrol. Something very simple.
And while the application is working at runtime I get an InvalidDesignerUpdateException :

System.ArgumentException
Value does not fall within the expected range.
   at MS.Internal.XcpImports.MethodEx(IntPtr ptr, String name, CValue[] cvData)
   at MS.Internal.XcpImports.MethodEx(DependencyObject obj, String name)
   at MS.Internal.XcpImports.UIElement_UpdateLayout(UIElement element)
   at Microsoft.Windows.Design.Platform.SilverlightViewProducer.OnViewUpdated()

Microsoft.Windows.Design.Platform.InvalidDesignerUpdateException
An unhandled exception was encountered while trying to render the current silverlight project on the design surface. To diagnose this failure, please try to run the project in a regular browser using the silverlight developer runtime.

For now the structure of my project is very simple.
I have a main page holding my planning control in a tab item.

<telerik:RadTabItem x:Name="pagPlanning" Visibility="Collapsed">
                            <ContentControl HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
                                <my1:PlanningPage />
                            </ContentControl>
                        </telerik:RadTabItem>

And then my control:

<UserControl x:Class="Ogaca.Views.PlanningPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:effects="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.TransitionEffects;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls"
    xmlns:my="clr-namespace:Jkn.Web"
    xmlns:app="clr-namespace:Jkn"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400">
        <telerik:RadScheduleView>
            <telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
                <telerik:DayViewDefinition />
                <telerik:WeekViewDefinition />
                <telerik:TimelineViewDefinition />
                <telerik:MonthViewDefinition />
            </telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
        </telerik:RadScheduleView>
</UserControl>

No viewmodel, no data, nothing.
I removed everything to make sure it's only the ScheduleView causing the problem. Maybe it's a known issue.

The design view for the usercontrol gives me the exception but the main page holding the control does display correctly.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know,
John.

I'm not sure if I'm using the control correctly but I get the following error when trying to use a Resource:

The tag 'Resource' does not exist in XML namespace 'http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation'

I need to add the assembly explicitly to make it work:
xmlns:telerikScheduler="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.ScheduleView"     

and 

<telerik:RadScheduleView AppointmentsSource="{Binding Appointments}">
    <telerik:RadScheduleView.ResourceTypesSource>
        <telerik:ResourceTypeCollection>
            <telerik:ResourceType Name="People">
                <telerikScheduler:Resource ResourceName="Mathias" />
                <telerikScheduler:Resource ResourceName="Hélène" />
                <telerikScheduler:Resource ResourceName="Ornella" />
            </telerik:ResourceType>
        </telerik:ResourceTypeCollection>
    </telerik:RadScheduleView.ResourceTypesSource>
    <telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
        <telerik:DayViewDefinition MinorTickLength="15min" MajorTickLength="1h" />
        <telerik:WeekViewDefinition />
        <telerik:TimelineViewDefinition />
        <telerik:MonthViewDefinition />
    </telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
</telerik:RadScheduleView>

Hi John,

I think that this error is caused by the fact that we have Resource class in both Controls assembly and in ScheduleView assembly and in XAML there is no way for the parser to know which type to instantiate (because both are in the telerik URI namespace).
We have fixed this issue by removing the Resource class from Controls assembly so if you try it with the latest beta (or LIB) you should not have such problem.

Sorry for the caused inconvenience.

Kind regards,

Could you provide a URL to the latest beta please?
Thanks

Thanks I'll give it a try...

I am still getting this exception in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and RadControls for Silverlight 4 2011.1.0315.

When I start a new Silverlight project and drag the RadScheduleView control in the designer for the first time everything seems fine.

The XAML is shown below:

<UserControl x:Class="MySv.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400" xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation">

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <telerik:RadScheduleView>
            <telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
                <telerik:DayViewDefinition />
                <telerik:WeekViewDefinition />
                <telerik:MonthViewDefinition />
                <telerik:TimelineViewDefinition />
            </telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
        </telerik:RadScheduleView>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

However when I rebuild the solution Visual Studio throws the InvalidDesignerUpdateException.

To solve this issue I had to remove the design height and width properties, rebuild the solution and reload the Visual Studio designer.

d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400"

Hi Oscar,

Thanks for the tip! What happens if you move the xmlns:telerik line above the d:Width and d:Height attributes? Do you still get the same error?

Best wishes,

Same result. I did however notice it also had something to do with the view definitions. After removing the view definitions from my XAML code everything seems fine again. I can't have both the DesignHeight/DesignWidth properties and view definitions in my XAML code at the time.

Hello Oscar,

We fixed the problem with x:DesignWidth/Height, the fix will be available in the upcoming service pack this week.
