Binding to UserControl.Resource; disable at Design time.

[CD]

Hello

I am following the example here  telerik chart example .

Everything works, it is just that if I have the DataSource as a resource in the application:

<UserControl.Resources>
   <example:NorthwindDataSource x:Key="DataSource"/>
</UserControl.Resources>

Then I can't preview the xaml at design time. From a little research it appears I have to disable the binding at design time? Is there an example of this?

Visual Studio designer throws 'Domain operations cannot be started at design time.' when attempting to view the layout.


Thanks.

Hello Curt,

Your are trying to make the call to the RIA service which isn't allowed at design time. You need to set the resource in code behind to prevent this happening at design time.

Take a look at this forum thread where this issue is discussed.
You may also need to check if you are in Design Tool like this :

private void UserControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {

            if (DesignerProperties.IsInDesignTool)
                return;
  // your binding method here ...
            Bind();
        }

Kind regards,
Evgenia
