unable to find embedded skin with name 'Gray'

[matt]

hello,

i would like to use a very basic, non-flashy skin for my RadComboBoxes. the embedded skin "Gray" looks like the only choice for this.

however when i try to use it, i get this error at run-time:

Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox with ID='rcbDistrict' was unable to find embedded skin with name 'Gray'. Please, make sure that you spelled the skin name correctly, or if you want to use a custom skin, set EnableEmbeddedSkins=false.

...what gives?

thanks,
matt

telerik, any suggestions?

thanks

Telerik, we'd really like to test using the Gray skin, as its the only non-flashy, sorta standard looking skin.

Can you help determine why it isn't working?


thanks

Hey Matt,

setting Skin="Gray" works perfectly for me.

"gray" doesn't work, but I noticed you did indeed write "Gray" so that doesn't seem to be the explanation.

Outdated .dll perhaps?

weird. my dll version: 2008.1.619.20

my test code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/OneColumn.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Test.aspx.cs" Inherits="Test" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="Telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="phContent" runat="server">

    <h1>test</h1>

    <Telerik:RadComboBox ID="rcbTest" Skin="Gray" runat="server">
        <Items>
            <Telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="test 1" />
            <Telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="test 2" />
        </Items>
    </Telerik:RadComboBox>


</asp:Content>

...same error.
