Problem in applying custome themes to the Telerik controls.

[SivaPrasad Bevara]

Hi,

I am using Telerik 2010.2.812.1040 version.

I have created a custom telerik theme using Silverlight Class library. I am getting the following error while trying to apply the theme to the application.

XamlParseException occurred - Set property ‘Telerik.Windows.Controls.Theme.Application.ThemeSetter’ threw an exception.

Following is the code I am using to set the theme.

StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = new BubbleCremeTheme.BubbleCremeTheme();

"BubbleCremeTheme" is the name of the class library created.

Please help.

Hi Nuno,

We can't predict what might be causing the problem without any project.

Hi Kaloyan,

So in my case I can explain better:

I'm trying to create my own Theme following the Telerik approach but I'm getting the following error:

System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException occurred
  Message=Set property 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.Theme.ApplicationThemeSetter' threw an exception. [Line: 33 Position: 67]
  LineNumber=33
  LinePosition=67
  StackTrace:
       at MS.Internal.XcpImports.CreateFromXaml(UnmanagedMemoryStream stream, String sourceAssemblyName, Boolean createNamescope, Boolean requireDefaultNamespace, Boolean allowEventHandlers)
  InnerException: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException
       Message=The given key was not present in the dictionary.
       StackTrace:

            at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key)
            at System.Windows.ResourceManagerWrapper.GetResourceForUri(Uri xamlUri, Type componentType)
       InnerException:

There isn't an attached project in here but all I did was applying all the steps as described in here to create a new theme, styling just RadTileView and RadChart controls.
This way I could style RadCharts so they have customized slices colors, a custom chart background, etc. Also giving a customized look to the RadTileView background.

But I'm getting the mentioned error. You can see the attached image.

I'm using version 2010.2.714.1040 assemblies, VS2010 and I copied the Style files from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for Silverlight Q2 2010 SP2\Themes\OfficeSilver\Themes\Office\Silver
(just Chart.xaml and TileView.xaml)

Please let me know your opinion.

Thank you,
Nuno Senica

Hi,

The problem is fixed.

The problem is because of one of the missing reference. I added that one.

Now it is working.

Hi SivaPrasad,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I found I needed to create a Telerik.Windows.Controls.xaml ResourceDictionary and leave it blank.
