Deriving from RadGridView

[Aaron]

My RadGridView instances always have several properties that are set exactly the same way. Something like this:

<telerik:RadGridView  RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed"  AllowDrop="False" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CanUserDeleteRows="False" CanUserReorderColumns="False" GridLinesVisibility="Both" ShowGroupPanel="False" ShowColumnHeaders="True" IsFilteringAllowed="False" CanUserFreezeColumns="False" CanUserInsertRows="False" >...</telerik:RadGridView>

So I thought, why not derive from this control and set those properties in the constructor?  I wrote this class that extends RadGridView:

namespace MyUI
{
 public class MyGridView : Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadGridView
    {
        public MyGridView()
            : base()
        {
            this.RowIndicatorVisibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
            this.AllowDrop = false;
            this.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
            this.CanUserDeleteRows = false;
            this.CanUserReorderColumns = false;
            this.GridLinesVisibility = Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridLinesVisibility.Both;
            this.ShowGroupPanel = false;
            this.ShowColumnHeaders = true;
            this.IsFilteringAllowed = false;
            this.CanUserFreezeColumns = false;
            this.CanUserInsertRows = false;
        }
    }
}

Okay, so using this should be as simple as this:

<Window ...
  xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyUI;assembly=MyUI">

<local:MyGridView >...</local:MyGridView>

</Window>

It won't compile.  I get an error that says "The name 'MyGridView' does not exist in the namespace 'clr-namespace:MyUI'".

I've tried declaring the namespace with and without the "assembly=MyUI" part.  

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks.

Hi Aaron,

Is this the only error you get? Does it compile fine if you remove the following line:
<local:MyGridView >...</local:MyGridView>

If so, then would you please share if you use the full binaries, or NoXaml ones?
