I'm trying to set a global theme for either Telerik controls or non-telerik controls in xaml using a style.  This works in Visual Studio, but not in Blend.  I get the error:  'Office_Blue' is not a valid value for the 'Telerik:Windows.Controls.StyleManager.Theme' property on a Setter.

I am using RadControls for WPF Q1 2010 SP2 (version 2010.1.0603) on Windows 7 x64.  Here is the xaml:

<Style TargetType="telerik:RadGridView">
 <Setter Property="telerik:StyleManager.Theme" Value="Office_Blue" />
</Style>

Hello Adam Love,

What is the version of Blend you are using? I've just tried with version 3 and 4 and everything worked as expected.

All the best,

I am using Blend 4.0.  I was trying to design with the Telerik controls in my current project that I started from Visual Studio.  If I take out the style with the theme, the UI loads in Blend, but controls like the RadGridView have no visual.  I'm still trying to figure out the pattern that causes this.

Hello Adam,

The attached sample project opens up just fine in Blend 4.0 and it runs as expected.
Do you reproduce the problem there?

I recently upgraded to the latest internal build and it is now working in Blend.  Not sure if there was something strange about the references that was fixed when I re-did them (since I used a different path previously) or the build fixed the problem.  Either way, it works now!  Thanks!
