Last Binaries Causes errors in Blend 3

[Ludovic Gerbault]

Hello

Today, I've been experiencing a lot of troubles using Blend 3 to try to style certain components.

I'm using 2010.1.319 built, and the following components are causing xaml exception making it impossible to edit their templates :

RadTileView
RadFluidContentControl
RadScheduler

These are the three components that have been causing me problems.

EG : Code that causes a AG_BAD_PROPERTY_VALUE in Blend 3 :

<UserControl
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:telerikScheduler="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Scheduler"
    x:Class="SilverlightApplication10.MainPage"
    Width="640" Height="480">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <telerikScheduler:RadScheduler/>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Hello Subileau Pascal,

Scheduler has indeed some troubles with blend. We are working on improving the blend support but it may take some time. Can you send us a screenshot and we will try to do the changes for you. If you need to do some intense modification at least I will try to provide blend friendly version with explanations what may cause problems.

Thank you for your interest in our controls.

Sincerely yours,

Actually, one of the telerik admin already sent my the Generic.xaml file, I was able to do what I needed with it.

But the thing is, this problems seems to concern most of the telerik controls (I had similar issue with RadGridView, RadButtons, RadMenu, RadDocking...)

Yesterday, I tried to update to the 2010.1.326, and seems to work much better then. But when I tried to launch the application, I display a raddocking containing several RadControls (RadGridView, RadChart, RadButtons, RadScheduler...), most of them using custom templates and resources, and an exception was launched (ControlTemplateSelector is not a valid property for ContentControl, or something like that).

So I had to go back to the 2010.1.319.

Here's a screenshot from a blank Blend project when adding a RadButton to it (see attached file)

Hello Subileau Pascal,

Thank you for details.

Indeed there is a small problem with the 326 release - it relates to the ControlTemplateSelector. Today we will release a new internal build and we highly suggest that you should migrate to it.

About the 319 release - as there should not be e problem with it we will highly appreciate if you send us the project that reproduce the issue as all the information about your development environment.

Looking forward for your reply.

Sure, I'm sending a support ticket right away with a sample project and all the details.

[Ludovic Gerbault]

Well, It seems that this whole thing was my mistake, I was just compiling a new Sample project in Blend, and everything worked fine.

So I checked the old projects, and there was an old reference dating back to the 2009.Q3 that was causing mismatch problem.

Sorry to have bothered you, I should have checked that first.

I'm still looking forward to your next build though :)
