Hi, 
I am trying to style the RadDatePicker Control in Expression Blend. When i create a copy of the style into the same usercontrol, it works fine, but when i try to create a new resource Dictionary and open the style, it wont let me to.....
It keeps on throwing error...
------------------------------------------------------------------
Stack Trace
at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentException(ExceptionResource resource)
at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary'2.Insert(TKey, TValue, Boolean add)

An item with the same key has already been added.
------------------------------------------------------------------

I did try out rest of the controls. They are working fine and am able to alter their styles. But whenever i try to open up the datepicker
it throws me the above error.
Firstly, i thought may be a key would be existing same as the new one. But i did try it to open in a new project several times but still no success.

Please let me know as to how should i proceed..

Hello Saurabh,

Thank you for the feedback. Indeed, such behavior exists. It has been logged and will be further investigated. We are sorry if currently the issue causes any inconvenience.

If you do not need to view the template structure of the RadDatePicker control, you can simply Rebuild the project and continue a normal customization process as you will have access to needed resources. If this is not the case, I would suggest that you make your customizations in place (i.e. in the same UserControl) and, when done, move them in a separate resource dictionary.

Any update on this issue?  I'm trying to set a visual state for the background of the DatePicker but i'm unable to edit the style in blend.  Is there a workaround to this?

Hello Brian,

After you generate the template of RadDatePicker with Expression Blend find
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="PickerBackground_Normal" Color="#FFFFFFFF"/>
and modify it with the color of your choice. 

Hope this helps.
