Hi There
Currently I have on my project an Assembly reference to the telerik DLL
This is causing troubles in the development group, some has a different version, others a different configuration of the environment
There current reference is as
<Reference Include="Telerik.Windows.Controls">
  <HintPath>$(TelerikBin)\Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
but I like to migrate to a NuGet instead so the component is in the project and is more transparent for everyone.
Problem I encounter is that there are multiple
Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf
Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf.Xaml
I try them both but my problem persists.
The Textboxes disappear from the forms.
Is there a simple and transparent way to migrate from the DLLs to the NuGets?

Hello Cristian,

The Telerik NuGet packages that ends with .Xaml contain the Xaml dlls set. The ones without .Xaml are using the NoXAml dlls. In your case, you can install the Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf.Xaml package only.

You can also go through the NuGet installation section in the documentation.

This is my Form using the DLL
If I move then to NuGet

As you can see the Text Boxes disappear
Testing adding 1 NuGet at a time and executing in the middle I find that is when I replace the dll of Telerik.Windows.Themes.Fluent with the NuGet is that I lose the text boxs.

The Telerik.Windows.Themes.Fluent package contains both the Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll (the NoXaml version) and the Telerik.Windows.Themes.Fluent.dll. 

The Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll probably replaces the one coming from the other package, which means in the end the project uses the NoXaml dll and you hit one of the scenarios described in the following article: 
https://www.telerik.com/products/wpf/documentation/common-information/troubleshooting/invisible-controls

If you use the Xaml version of the Telerik dlls, you shouldn't use the Telerik.Windows.Themes.Fluent.dll (or any other theme dll) and therefore the package. I would suggest you to remove it. The Xaml dlls embed the theme resources and you don't need the separate theme dlls.
