Hello Telerik:

This coule be a really strange issue. I copied the following code from within your demo application, and I just created a UserControl to hold this as below:

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"><br>        <telerik:RadDropDownButton Width="200" Height="24"><br>            <telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent><br>                <ListBox SelectionChanged="Selector_OnSelectionChanged" Height="200" Width="200" /><br>            </telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent><br>        </telerik:RadDropDownButton><br>    </Grid>

MainPage.xaml:

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">

        <!-- Works right! -->
        <slvs2013Test:SilverlightControl1 />
        
        
        <!-- Won't work, exception throws -->
        <!--<slvs2013Test:Class1 />-->
    </Grid>


Actually, the event handler "Selector_OnSelectionChanged" does nothing but an empty block.

When I add this UserControl on the page, everything works ok~ However, I create another class which JUST inherits from this UserControl. Sadlly, it does NOT work any more. I add it onto the page, but an exception occurs everytime, that could makes me crazy.

I attached the source code in this thread, PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hello Wenhao,

We managed to reproduce this issue and it is also reproducible if you remove the RadDropDownButton and leave only the ListBox. This appears to be a framework limitation and the XAML parser cannot handle it. You can see this problem reported here and here.
However, we strongly believe that inheriting a UserControl is considered a bad practice and it should avoided.
