I downloaded the Metro tools last night as I wanted to check out the DatePicker control.
I ran the sample app and liked what I saw. So I tried to include the control in a test project, and things worked great when I used the extension SDK to add the reference to the tools to my project.
However, I'd like to be able to share this project with others so they can run it without having to download and install the controls on their own machines at this point. So I removed the reference to the extension SDK, and instead added project references to assemblies Telerik.Core, Telerik.UI.Xaml.Input, and Telerik.UI.Xaml.Primitives. I also added the folders Telerik.UI.Xaml.Input and Telerik.UI.Xaml.Primitives to the project, as this is apparently how the styles need to get added. When I run the app, the control functions and appears properly, with the exception of the ok/cancel selector buttons. I see the circles on the bottom of the selector popup, but they are missing the checkmark and X glyphs that I see when the controls are added to the project via the extension SDK. So I must not be adding something that I needed. Can you please clue me in on what I might be missing?

Hi Chris,
Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in our components.
I guess for some reason the built-in resources are not resolved properly. The resources are described by *.pri files that should reside in the assemblies folder. We are also shipping a Binaries folder, located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for Metro XAML Q1 2012 RC\Binaries
where we have our assemblies arranged in the correct directory structure, expected by the Windows Runtime. You may try to add references directly to the Binaries folder just to check whether everything works as expected.
I hope this information is useful, please let me know how goes.

Thanks Georgi,
Those *.pri files did the trick. I figured the problem had something to do with those, but am not really up to speed yet on how all the resource magic works.
It took a little doing to figure out how to reference things properly. Was going to attach a standalone project to show my working configuration in case anyone else stumbles on the same thing, but it doesn't seem I can do that. So I attached a screen shot of the solution structure instead.
Thanks again,
Chris
