[Solved] Copy Style failed error (Visual Studio 2012 and Blend)

[Add-in Express]

Hello guys,

When I try to modify the Style property according to the documentation:

In the 'Objects and Timeline' pane, select the RadLoopingList control you want to style. From the menu choose Object -> Edit Style -> Edit a Copy. You will be prompted for the name of the style and where to be placed.

I get the Copy Style failed error (please see the screenshot attached).

However, I would like to notice that the RadLoopingList control is located inside a container (not in the root of the page). For example:

<Grid Grid.Row="1" Margin="24,20,24,72">
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="136"/>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="4*"/>
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

            <telerikPrimitives:RadLoopingList Grid.Column="1"/>
...

If I remove all containers and place the RadLoopingList on the page directly I don't get any errors and able to modify styles and templates. It looks like you need to correct the documentation, am I right?

The main questions is: why do I get such a strange error in both IDEs and is it allowed to place the RadLoopingList control inside containers such as Grid and etc.?

Hi Eugene,

Thanks for writing and for your questions.

You are allowed to place RadLoopingList wherever you want so you should not experience any problems with its behavior in your scenario.

I guess the error you are seeing is more or less related to the Design Time engine of Blend.

Can I ask if you have the Update 2 for Visual Studio installed on your machine?

Hi Deyan,

Of course, Visual Studio 2012 is up to date (with Update 2 installed).

Please note that I get the same error in Visual Studio 2012 too (not only Expression Blend is affected).

Hello Prescornitoiu,

Can you elaborate further on your problem, I'm not clear on what the question is. If possible, please include a screenshot of what you're seeing and the template/style you're trying to extract. If you'd like me to provide a copy of the template/style please respond with the following:

-Version of Visual Studio you're using
-Version of Telerik UI for Windows Phone you're using
-The Style name/Template name
-Is this for Windows Phone 7 or 8
