Cannot resolve Half Circle Gauge

[Jeremy]

Hello-

I'm getting the error "The resource "RadialGaugeHalfCirleNStyle" could not be resolved.

       <Canvas.Resources>
            <ResourceDictionary x:Key="RadialGaugeHalfCircle">
                <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                    <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Gauge;component/Themes/generic.xaml"/>
                </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            </ResourceDictionary>
        </Canvas.Resources>

      <telerik:RadGauge x:Name="AttainmentGauge" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="266" Width="358" Canvas.Top="0" Canvas.Left="709" />
        <telerik:RadialGauge Margin="100,20,0,21" Canvas.Left="688" Canvas.Top="40" Height="242" Width="200" Style="{StaticResource RadialGaugeHalfCircleNStyle}">
            <telerik:RadialScale x:Name="radialScale" Min="0" Max="1000" >
                <telerik:IndicatorList>
                    <telerik:Marker x:Name="gauge1_marker" IsAnimated="True" Value="0" Background="LightBlue" />
                    <telerik:Needle x:Name="gauge1_needle" IsAnimated="true" Value="0" />
                </telerik:IndicatorList>
            </telerik:RadialScale>
        </telerik:RadialGauge>

Im using VS2010, Silverlight 4 and RadControls for Silverlight Q1 2010 SP2.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi Jeremy,

The problem is in using of x:Key attribute with the ResourceDictionary element.
When I remove it, then the sample code works fine.

Hello Andrey-

If I remove the key, I get this error:

error : The type 'ResourceDictionary' is inside a ResourceDictionary and does not have a key.

Hello Jeremy Tucker,

We cannot reproduce this issue using RadControls for Silverlight 4 version 2010.1 603. Could you, please, send to us a solution which reproduces this problem? Thank you.

Kind regards,

Hello and Thank you Andrey!

I was able to figure it out.  It seems the problem was two-fold.  First, I had the ResourceDictionary inside the Canvas.Resources rather than the UserControl.Resources.  Second, I have some Style definitions and the ResourceDictionary needs to come before the Styles (and I'm not sure why).

So it works now! Thank you for your prompt assistance!
