[Solved] ItemTemplateSelector not working on WP8?

[Daniel]

Hello,

i've tried to build a calendar-app using RadCalendar and mark certain days as suggested here: http://www.telerik.com/help/windows-phone/radcalendar-features-specialdays.html

Problem is, that once the targeted OS is Windows Phone 8 the sample isn't working.
Screen: http://http//image.faltermayer.net/radcalendar.png

Saying something like: "Name SelectedDay isn't available in Namespace..."

Here is the code in the MainPage.xaml

public class SelectedDay : DataTemplateSelector
        {
            public DataTemplate SpecialTemplate
            {
                get;
                set;
            }


            public override DataTemplate SelectTemplate(object item, DependencyObject container)
            {
                CalendarButtonContentInfo info = item as CalendarButtonContentInfo;
                CalendarButton button = container as CalendarButton;
                if (!button.IsFromCurrentView) return null;
                if (info.Date == null) return null;

                foreach (var itemCheck in App.ViewModel.SelectedDates)
                {
                    if (itemCheck.Date == info.Date)
                    {
                        return SpecialTemplate;
                    }
                }

                return base.SelectTemplate(item, container);
            }
        }

However the same code is working as soon as WP7 is the targeted OS. Any ideas whats wrong with my code?

Hi Daniel,

The selector is working in WP8. We are not sure what could cause the problem in your case, but you can check our samples solution to see how the special days selector is implemented.

Check the following examples:
$Examples_WP/Calendar/WeekendDaySelector.cs
$Examples_WP/Calendar/SpecialDays.xaml/.cs

Please let us know if you still experience problems.

Oh, that's embarrasing. I just had to rebuild the solution and it worked.

But thank you for your help =)
