[Solved] Implementing Implicit Themes in Silverlight 4

[Sigd]

I am trying to use an implicit theme for my RadGridView control to colour my rows in Silverlight 4.  My problem is that in my Style element in the XAML editor I get the error "Type 'telerik:GridViewRow' was not found".

The example given in the Telerik performance Issues page is as follows:-

<UserControl.Resources>
   <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow">
 <Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue"/>
   </Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Margin="100">
  <telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Data}" />
</Grid>

I do have the namespace reference.

xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"

 
I am using the Silverlight telerik Controls Q1 2010 SP2.

Cheers,
Sigd.

I have tried the following suggestion from Telerik:

If you want to avoid similar errors, please use a global unified namespace:

<xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation">

then was referred to this forum, but it hasn't helped me as I am getting the following error in Expression Blend (works in VS 2010).

This is using the latest release libraries (2010.2.924.1040)

Hi Sigd,

If you follow this matter you should change the namespaces in your xaml file in this way:

<UserControl
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:gridRow="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"
    xmlns:grid="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"
    x:Class="ImplicitRowStyle.MainPage"
    Width="640" Height="480">
<UserControl.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="grid:GridViewRow">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
        </Style>
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource SampleDataSource}}">
        <gridRow:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Collection}"/>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

In order to minimize similar errors I would recommend you to use the following global namespace:

<......xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation".......>
