RibbonView w/ Windows 8 theme RD - Blend with Sketchflow for VS 2012 preview crashing

[Spurk]

I've created a resource dictionary RadRibbon and copied/pasted the resources from the NET40 implicit style resource dictionary.  Visual studio 2012 renders & builds fine, but Blend crashes whenever I open the project.  When I debug blend with vs 2012, it reports:

'{DependencyProperty.UnsetValue}' is not a valid value for the 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadRibbonGallery.Icon' property on a Setter.

Please advise.

Hi Sheldon,

We fixed that issue during this release cycle and you could download the latest binaries in a few days.

However, if you do not want to wait for the new release, you can workaround the issue. It is caused by the currently defined Icon property Setter:

<Setter Property="Icon" Value="/Telerik.Windows.Controls.RibbonView;component/RibbonGalleryCollapsedIcon.png" />

it has to be defined like this instead:

<Setter Property="Icon">
   <Setter.Value>
      <BitmapImage UriSource="/Telerik.Windows.Controls.RibbonView;component/RibbonGalleryCollapsedIcon.png" />
   </Setter.Value>
</Setter>

I hope this information helps.

Kind regards,
