Silverlight Documentation

[Paul Gallen]

Hi,

I have noticed that your Silverlight help file contents is out of date, for example,

documentation

<telerik:RadContextMenu EventName="MouseLeftButtonDown">
  <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="ContextMenuItem 1" />
  <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="ContextMenuItem 2" />
  <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="ContextMenuItem 3" />
 </telerik:RadContextMenu>
</telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

actual

<telerikNavigation:RadContextMenu EventName="MouseLeftButtonDown" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="46,220,0,188" Width="138" Grid.Column="1">
  <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Height="56" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,72,23,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="79" Header="0"/>
  <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Height="56" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,72,23,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="79" Header="1"/>
  </telerikNavigation:RadContextMenu>

The namespaces are different.

When is there a more recent release of the documentation available?

Thanks


Paul

Hello Paul Gallen,

the prefix "telerikNavigation:" and "telerik:"  that you are seeing is not connected with the actual namespace where the control is defined.
 
You can set whatever prefix you like - just point it to the correct namespace in the declaration.

Hi Valentin,

Thanks for lightening response.

How then can I use the documentation samples within my code? without VS or Blend complaining? Sorry I'm new to Silverlight

Hi Paul,

You just need to define an equal tag prefix for the namespace declaration at the beginning of the xaml. You can refer to our live demos for example:

http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/

Look at the namespace tag prefix in xaml:
http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#ContextMenu/FirstLook

     xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
        <Border x:Name="BackgroundPad" ToolTipService.ToolTip="CTRL + Click to open the context menu">
            <telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
                <telerik:RadContextMenu x:Name="backgroundContextMenu"

Hope this helps.
