RadDataPager not available for Silverlight 5

[Nikhil Thaker]

Hi,

I have been working with RadControlsForSilverlightSetup_2012_2_611. I tried to use RadDataPager in my Silverlight 5 application but it threw runtime exception "The type 'RadDataPager' was not found."
I just noticed on Telerik's Documentation that RadDataPager is not available for Silverlight 5. So when it will be available for Silverlight 5.?
Which other Controls or Control Features are not compatible with Silverlight 5.?

Thanks.

Hello,

 Thank you for contacting us.

Actually the RadDataPager is available for Silverlight 5. The line in the documentation that you have referenced is actually there as the control was not available for Silverlight 3. I have updated the information in the article straight away.

As to the error you got- have you added all the references needed?

All the best,

Hi,

I have added all required references properly I believe, as in design pane it even shows the DataPager properly. At runtime only it throws the exception.
I am using Windows 8 Customer Preview and Visual Studio 2011 beta. Please let me know if you need any other detail from my side.

Thanks.

Hello,

I have prepared a sample project having RadDataPager. Please find it attached.

Would you please try to build it on your machine?

Thanks.

Hello,

 I do not get such an errors after I rebuild the solution and reload the designer. I have attached the test project again. Would you please open it at your end?

Kind regards,

Hi,

 In regard to my previous reply, I am re-attaching the test project. I noticed that in my last reply I have sent you not the correct one.

I am using the latest Telerik builds 2012.2.823.1040 and no matter what I do I cannot get a RadDataPAger to show in the telerik namespace. Please help!

I am also facing same problem.

we are using PRISM in our project and view model is being provided on run time . Can this be a issue ?

Hi,

Thе ViewModel has no relation to the availability of the RadDataPager. Have you added all the references needed? Can you reproduce the issue on the test project I have attached?

All the best,

I am having the same problem.

The documentation at

http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/raddatapager-getting-started.html still says "Note that RadDataPager is available for Silverlight 4 only."

This appears to be a problem with how my datapager is wired up to my treelistview.

Initially I had something like "{Binding Level1, ElementName=radDataPager}"
on the pager and it didn't like it. I had done a copy and paste on some sample code that did something similar. I need to do more research on how the pager interacts with the treelistview given the treelistview gets its data from an MVVM IEnumerable. There are so many samples, and most of them do almost -- but not quite -- what I am trying to do.
