Hello there,
I tried to follow the steps as described at the following link to create and use a Custom Theme for GridView but getting exception. I can provide the sample projects if you need it.

http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/common-styling-apperance-themes-custom-theme-project-telerik-approach.html

However I am getting the following exception on the InitializeComponent() of MainPage.xaml where I have a reference to RadGridView:

?e

[Line: 12 Position: 30] ---> System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: Set property 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.Theme.ApplicationThemeSetter' threw an exception. [Line: 51 Position: 70] ---> System.Exception: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

Hi Manas,

 

Can you verify that you have specified your custom theme in RadGridView's xaml file?:

<local:MyTheme x:Key="Theme"/>


You may find attached sample project that demonstrates this approach.
Please check the sample and let me know how it differs from yours.

Thank you for the sample. The sample works fine. Also in my existing business application for a new xaml page the Custom Theme project works fine for the RadGridView. However I am getting exception on other existing xaml pages on the  InitializeComponent(); For example when I commented the RadDataPager reference on one of the usercontrol xaml that control's InitializeComponent() stopped giving me the ThemeSetter exceptions.

BTW what does this mean?
"You should have references to all assemblies that you are styling. Which means that if you have Style for RadMenu in your theme project, you should have a reference to the Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.dll assembly in your application or you will get an exception."
Is this saying that, if I am creating custom theme only for the RadGridView I need to have corresponding DLLs referred in the custom Theme project? 

Exception details below:
?e
{System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: Set property 'System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Style' threw an exception. [Line: 300 Position: 31] ---> System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: Set property 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.Theme.ApplicationThemeSetter' threw an exception. [Line: 36 Position: 67] ---> System.Exception: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

Hi Manas,

 

Indeed you are right. When you are creating custom theme you have to create XAML file for all assemblies that you refer in your project. This means that you need to create Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.xaml, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.xaml etc. files even if you don't add Styles there.
We are them loading them when you instantiate control from corresponding assembly. Then as you mentioned
you should have references to all assemblies that you are styling. Which means that if you have Style for RadMenu in your theme project, you should have a reference to the Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.dll assembly in your application or you will get an exception.
Regarding RadDataPager's case I believe that internally something went wrong. Feel free to send us a small application in a new support ticket where we can see what is going on.

Hello Telerik team,
I have identical problem not with a custom theme but with Windows7 theme. Have you found any solution to this problem with the custom theme that maybe I can use with the default Windows7 theme? The problem occured when I upgradet to Silverlight 5!

Hello Krasimir,

 

We are not aware of an issue related to modifying built-in Telerik themes in Silverlight 5.
May you please try to isolate the problem in a small runnable application with this theme and send it back to us as an attachment in a new support ticket? We will take a look at it and we would be able to provide you witn an appropiate solution.
