How to run the examples?

[Houman]

Hello,

I am evaluating Telerik Silverlight controls.  Is there a step by step instruction how to create the environment? 

When I run the examples, and want to switch to the CoverFlow example I get an exeption at DownloadFile(Uri uri) method in the ThemesDownloader.cs.

private object DownloadFile(Uri uri)
{
   ...
   WebClient wc = new WebClient();
   wc.OpenReadCompleted += (s, e) =>
   {
        (s as WebClient).DownloadProgressChanged -= this.OnWebClientDownloadprogressChanged;
        objectToReturn = e.Result; //  An Exception occurred during the operation, making the sresult invalid.
        autoResetEvent.Set();
   };
}

The inner exception says The Remote Server returned an error: NotFound. as BrowserHttpWebRequest.InternalEndGetResponse()

I wished the examples had no environment dependencies.  

Many Thanks for your help,
Houman

Is there any help this regarding?  Or do I have to contact Pre-Sales for that?


Thanks,

Hello Houman,

We are not aware of such problem and are not able to reproduce it on our side. The method you are getting the error in is downloading the Metro theme in order to apply it to the examples. Could you please provide some more info on your environment , how you have installed our controls (did you used the .msi file or used a custom path to install) and if this happens to other control examples. This will greatly help us to pinpoint the problem and provide a fix.


All the best,

Hi Boyan,

Thanks for coming back to me.

I have simply downloaded the trial of Q2 2011 and installed it.

I can use the controls, even run the demos. but when I open the Source code solutions to see the actual code behind the examples, I get the error message above.

What do I have to do ?

Kind Regards,
Houman

Hi Houman,

We are not able to reproduce such behavior. Could you please provide some more info on the steps you are doing to show this error.  If it is possible it will be best to shoot a small video how you reproduce the error. You can use Jing as it is a free tool suitable for the purpose.
