The DataForm is great if the data suits the standard controls in the form, but I also make significant use of lookup tables in Comboboxes, as well as CheckBoxes and Radio Buttons. Does anyone have any examples of incorporating these into the DataForm.

I am trying to test the DataForm control but when I tried the example code on the website  the complier says "this.root" does not exist.

Heres my code

public MainPage()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();
            
            var form = new RadDataForm();
            form.Item = new JobDefn(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 123456, new DateTime(2017, 2, 7), new DateTime(2017, 2, 8));    
            this.root.Children.Add(form);   // this .root  problem with this line
        }

and the error

Error    CS1061    'MainPage' does not contain a definition for 'root' and no extension method 'root' accepting a first argument of type 'MainPage' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)    

root must be related to Frame somehow but I just don't see it

it also fails if I move it to other pages

I have tried adding every Telerik namspace that seemed to be a possibilty

using Telerik.Core.Data;
using Telerik.Data;
using Telerik.UI;
using Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Data.DataForm;
