Timebar causes unhandled exception in designer

[Yue]

Hi All,

When I added a RadTimebar to my work, there always comes out a Unhandled exception in designer.

I just use timebar like this:

<telerik:RadTimeBar Name="timeBar1"
             PeriodStart="1-Oct-2010" PeriodEnd="1-Oct-2012"
             VisiblePeriodStart="1-Dec-2010" VisiblePeriodEnd="15-Jan-2011"
             SelectionStart="20-Dec-2010 12:03:00 AM" SelectionEnd="27-Dec-2010  12:04:00 AM"
             Margin="10,5" >
    <telerik:RadTimeBar.Intervals>
        <telerik:QuarterInterval/>
        <telerik:MonthInterval />
        <telerik:WeekInterval />
        <telerik:DayInterval />
    </telerik:RadTimeBar.Intervals>
</telerik:RadTimeBar>

And here is the exception:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException

Any idea about this?

Thanks !

Hi Yue,
I cannot see any Telerik-specific code in the provided stack trace, which leads me to the idea, that you might be able to reproduce the problem without the timebar control. In case my assumption is incorrect, please open a formal support ticket and send me a simple running project, with which I can reproduce the problem locally.

Basically, the only thing that you need to check, is that in the folder, from which you have referenced the Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.dll, there is a design folder with the following assemblies:
Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Design.dll, Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Expression.Design.dll, Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.VisualStudio.Design.4.0.dll,
Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.VisualStudio.Design.dll.

If you have referenced the DataVisualization.dll from the installation folder, you should not have problems with RadTimeBar in VS designer.

Best wishes,
Tsvetie
the Telerik team
