problem after updating Silverlight Telerik

[Nadav]

I've got a problem when updating the telerik dlls.

The VS2010 extensions delected there was a new version (v.2011.1.315.1040) and I talk it to install it.
(The old version was v.2010.3.1314.1040)

Then I updated the toolbox and the project.

Now when I try to open some of my xaml files I get this exception:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException

Hi Nadav,

Sorry for the troubles.
Can you try the steps below, please?

• Close all XAML files open in Visual Studio;
• Use the Telerik -> RadControls for Silverlight -> Upgrade Wizard to update the references in your project;
• Close Visual Studio
• Start it again and reload your project
• Check if a XAML file will get loaded properly.

Please note, we haven't come across this problem before, so the steps above are my best guess for solving the designer problem you've experienced.

Let me know if that helps.

Kind regards,

Hi Erjan,

I've already restarting VS2010 and it did not solve the problem..

Hi Nadav,

Did you upgrade the RadControls for Silverlight assembly references of your project?

Best,
Erjan Gavalji

[Nadav]

What I did was:

1. Opened the project, close all windows.
2. Used the  Telerik\Rad Controls for Silverlight\Upgrade wizard to update the project (I assume that updates the references)
3. Checked the update log, no errors.
4. Used the Telerik\Rad Controls for Silverlight\Launch Toolbox Configurator to update the toolbox.
5. Close VS2010
6. Open VS2010
7. Load the project
8. Rebuild
9. Open the xaml file.

Hi Nadav,

Thanks for the update!
Sorry I can't help immediately. Can you try creating a new Telerik Silverlight project? Can you drag a control to a XAML page?
Does the control get visualized properly?

If that true, can you pack the project, then open a formal support ticket and send it to us for a review, please?

Kind regards,

Hello again,

for anyone with the same issue with the new Q1 2011 version of the WPF telerik controls, here is the solution for my problem:

After debugging the application I traced it back to the RadTabControl placed on my form which was the source of the exception.

If you are using the new telerik version remove the SelectionChanged event handler from the RadTabControl and add it in the code behind cs file like:

tabControlMainContent.SelectionChanged += tabControlMainContent_SelectionChanged;

This removed the exception within the VS Visual Editor described above...

To reproduce this behavior just place a RadTabControl on your Window and add a SelectionChanged event within your XAML code.

Regards
Chris

Hello Christian,

In deed we had some issues with the SelectionChanged and PreviewSelectionChanged event. The visual studio designer breaks because of the event definitions. Although the application will start and operate as expected the designer breaks. We have managed to fix the issue and you can find it in our latest internal build or in the upcoming SP1 Q1 2011. Another solution is to used code behind handler registrations as you have discovered yourself.

Kind regards,
Hristo
