Diagram via NuGet

[Mathias]

Hello,

I'm referencing Telerik UI for WPF assemblies via NuGet which works fine. But when I tried to use RadDiagram in a simple project the Diagram does not display at all using the references from NuGet.

If I remove the NuGet packages in the project and add all necessary references from local disk the diagramm displays as expected. If I switch back to NuGet it does not work again.

Is there something I made wrong?

 

<packages>
  <package id="Telerik.Windows.Controls.Diagrams.for.Wpf" version="2019.1.220" targetFramework="net45" />
  <package id="Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf" version="2019.1.220" targetFramework="net45" />
  <package id="Telerik.Windows.Diagrams.Core.for.Wpf" version="2019.1.220" targetFramework="net45" />
</packages>

 

<telerik:RadDiagram>
    <telerik:RadDiagramShape x:Name="Shape1"
                        Content="Shape 1"
                        Position="80,20" />
    <telerik:RadDiagramShape x:Name="Shape2"
                        Content="Shape 2"
                        Position="320,20" />
</telerik:RadDiagram>

Hello Mathias,

The referenced packages contain the NoXaml version of UI for WPF. The diagram is not shown because the theme dll is not referenced and the required resource dictionaries are not merged. You can read more about this in the Xaml vs. NoXaml and Setting a Theme articles.

To resolve it use one of the following two approaches:

• Reference the Xaml version of the diagram dlls. The Xaml nuget packages end with .Xaml in the end of the package name.
  
  

  Telerik.Windows.Controls.Diagrams.for.Wpf.Xaml
  Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf.Xaml
  Telerik.Windows.Diagrams.Core.for.Wpf.Xaml

• Or you can go to the Available Themes article. Choose a theme and download its nuget package. Then merge the theme resources as explained in the Setting a Theme article. For example, the nuget with the Fluent theme dll is called "Telerik.Windows.themes.Fluent.for.Wpf".
