I'm trying to develop a plugin system using MEF and i`m exporting controls from the plugin XAP to the main application. From the plugin, all resources used are in a resource dictionary also exported with MEF. When the plugin is imported the resource dictionary is added to the main's app resources (App.Current.Resources). All goes well, the controls function correctly when imported in the main app, but when trying to open any context menu the application crashes with the following stack trace:

Error:

Value does not fall within the expected range.

STACK TRACE:

The context menu is added like:

<Editor_Views:ArrowEx X1="{Binding Start.PosX}"

X2="{Binding End.PosX}"

Y1="{Binding Start.PosY}"

Y2="{Binding End.PosY}"

LinkType="{Binding Model.LinkType,Mode=OneWay}"

StartNodeWidth="{Binding Start.Width}"

StartNodeHeight="{Binding Start.Height}"

EndNodeWidth="{Binding End.Width}"

EndNodeHeight="{Binding End.Height}"

EndArrow="Arrow"

BendAmount="0"

StartArrow="NoArrow"

ArrowSize="10">

<telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

<telerik:RadContextMenu Visibility="{Binding CurrentState, Converter={StaticResource StateToVisibilityConverter}}">

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Delete"

Command="{Binding DeleteCommand}">

<telerik:RadMenuItem.Icon>

<Image Source="/Editor;component/Assets/Icons/delete.png"

Width="16"

Height="16" />

</telerik:RadMenuItem.Icon>

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

</telerik:RadContextMenu>

</telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

</Editor_Views:ArrowEx>

In the main app the control is added to an ItemsControl which resides in a child window. The main app has no knowledge whatsoever about what control comes from the plugin. All the logic is done in the plugin.
Saw the following post and i wonder if it's the same case http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/preview-thread/silverlight/menu/contextmenu-as-static-resource.aspx .
If anyone has encountered this before or has any suggestions? Thank you.
