Demo code for RadialMenu not working on Windows 7

[Sebastian]

Hi,

I downloaded the demo code and ran it with Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 7.
When I click on Explore All Controls and then on Radial Menu, this Exception is thrown:

FileNotFoundException
Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Windows.Themes.Windows8, Culture=neutral' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

at this location in the code:
> QuickStart.Common.dll!Telerik.Windows.Controls.QuickStart.Common.Helpers.ApplicationThemeManager.EnsureFrameworkElementResourcesForTheme(System.Windows.FrameworkElement element, string themeName) Line 257 + 0x31 bytes C#

Hello Sebastian,

This exception is thrown as the project needs a references to No_Xaml libraries. More information about implicit styles you can find following this link.
Please, try the suggested approach and if you still experience the issue we would like to ask you to send us the project in order to make an investigation.

I will try to make modifications to your solution and project files. In the meatime, if you want to experience the issue by yourself, all you have to do is running, in debug mode, Telerik Demo Code "Telerik_UI_for_WPF_2014_3_1021_Demos.zip" found on your website.

I replaced the Telerik.Windows.Control reference, in the project from which the exception is thrown (QuickStart.Common.WPF), from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\UI for WPF Q3 2014\Binaries\WPF40\Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\UI for WPF Q3 2014\Binaries.NoXaml\WPF40\Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll" . I rebuilt all. The exception is still thrown at line 257 of ApplicationThemeManager.cs

Hello Sebastian,

Please, give us more information about the following questions:

 - do you have installed the TelerikUI controls for WPF?
 - if you have it, is this a first time you're installing the controls or you had previous installations? - here, under Demos Application section, you can find an info what needs to be done in this case;
 - is this situation happening only when you're trying to run the RadRadialMenu demos or with all demos in the suite?

Please, excuse us for the caused inconvenience.
Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,
Alek

Hi Alek,

I tried another control demo and it ran fine.
I tried, again, the RadRadialMenu, and now it runs fine.

Thank you

I got an Error at runtime as "The invocation of the constri=uctor on type 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadRadialMenu' threw an Exception.

 

Inner Exception:The invocation of the constructor on type that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception.

 

Please Help!
