Blend doesn't find default templates

[Tina]

Hello,

When I try to extract a default template of any telerik control in Expression Blend I have only the option "Create Empty" available.
I don't install telerik libraries on my dev computer, but copy the dll's directly into a 3rdParty folder in my solution and use them from there.

Why Blend is not fining the templates, how to fix it?

Thanks,
Tina

Hello Justyna,

 


Can you please share with us the exact version of RadControls you are currently using? We may perform some tests by our side and let you know what is the result.

Kind regards,

Hello Justnya,

 


I have tried to replicate the behavior you described with this version, however with no avail. "Edit a Copy" option is still available. Can you please try to manually reference the binaries in Blend environment and let me know how it goes? Also it could be great if you may send us a small application which we can use for testing purposes.

Thanks, when I try on a small testing application it works. Removing libraries and adding them in Blend didn't help.

Thanks,

Hi,

 


What is the version of Blend you are currently using? Are you working with 3.5 or 4.0 binaries? 
For the time being we might be only guessing what is wrong without repro project. Furthermore just to mention that we ship our themes as separate projects and you may get the XAML files for all Telerik themes from the Themes folder of your personal installation. 

All the best,

I will take the templates from Themes directory then. I am using Blend 4.

Thanks,
Justyna
