Since updating to the Q2 2011 version just recently, I find that none of my applications that uses the Tererik controls work, nor can I create a new app and add Telerik controls to it.
Here is a simplified Test Case:
I created a fresh WPF application project, opened the MainWindow.xaml, and tried to drag a RadMenu onto it.
It throws up this Error Dialog:
Set property 'System.Windows.ResourceDictionary.Source' threw an
exception.
"Cannot locate resource 'themes/genericmetro.xaml'."
OK
I'd like to know how the Telerik RadControls for WPF installation works, so that I can understand a bit of what's going on. The installation folder, in C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik, has a folder that would seem to be an older version: RadControls for WPF Q3 2010 SP1\Binaries\WPF\and so on.
Within AppData\Roaming\Telerik, I see an Updates folder with various folders for hotfixes. And the csproj file contains hintPaths that point to these. So, clearly the hintPaths are trying to redirect VS to find the latest versions of our assemblies. Is this the mechanism that is not working here? Would it help to just un-install Telerik, and reinstall something that is the latest version with the hotfixes already rolled into it?
Thank you for your help,
James W. Hurst

Hi James,
Have you tried to remove the old installation, clean the GAC and if this does not help could you try to move away the design dlls from the installation folder. Don't delete them just move them to your desktop for example, close and open the studio and if this does not fix your problem move them back.
Best wishes,

I need help with this as well. But I'm not sure I understand the suggestion.
I have installed RadControls for WPF Q1 2011. Then inside of VS I've downloaded several updates, including Q2. The dlls used in my application are located inside of a folder within my solution folder, so that they are can be checked into TFS. All my projects in my solution reference the dlls in the solution folder.
Earlier today I updated and got the most recent update via the extension. Today, when I try to work on my project I keep getting this error about the genericmetro.xaml.
I'm not sure how to fix it. Do I need to uninstall the initial RadControls and reinstall the latest version using the msi installer?
