Can't add RadGridView to window

[Michael]

Every time I try to add a GridView i get "Microsoft Visual Studio XAML Designer has stopped working."  Then Close or Debug.  Then after clicking Close I get this error in the window:

An Unhandled Exception has occurred

I ran the upgrade wizard again and it seems to be working now.

Hello Michael,

I am glad to hear that you managed to fix the issue. 

Since running the upgrade wizard helped, most likely the problem was that not all of the referenced dlls were of the same version. 

Should you experience any other issues, or have any other questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us again.

Regards,
Vladimir Stoyanov
