Design-Time data in GridView

[Jason]

Using the method of creating design-time data as shown in SLFS2010 MVVM with a designservice, it seems that the RadGridView is not able to present this data.

My design-time data consists of a observablecollection with 5 instances of a given object. The RadGridView is actually showing 5 rows, but it's not able to show the content of the object. A standard DataGrid however, displays the design time data easily.

Is this a bug, or is this just not supported? It is really a helpful way of creating views, so it should nevertheless be considered as a feature request.

XAML:

<navigation:Page xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation" 
               x:Class="TEST.Views.Persons"

           xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

           xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

           xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

           xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

           xmlns:sdk="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation/sdk"

           mc:Ignorable="d"

           xmlns:navigation="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Navigation"

           d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480"

           DataContext="{Binding Persons, Source={StaticResource Locator}}"

           Title="Persons Page">

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">

    <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">

      <telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Persons}" AutoGenerateColumns="True" MaxHeight="400" Width="500">

      </telerik:RadGridView>

      <sdk:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Persons}" AutoGenerateColumns="True">         

      </sdk:DataGrid>

    </StackPanel> 

  </Grid>

</navigation:Page>
