Hello,

I've upgraded one of my projects to use the latest SL5 controls, re-referenced all necessary components etc.

The project builds without error and starts up but the app does not appear.

Following a breakpoint I get this runtime error, see below, please advise.
I assume it is something to do with a theme file missing or in the wrong location.

Hello Lindsay,

 

Actually with our Q1 2012 SP1 we have introduced a new way of styling RadControls using implicit styles. You will find two folders using our standard binaries and NoXAML binaries. The idea of the new assemblies is to use them with completely implicit styles instead the current way of styling. In the normal assemblies you have all the XAML for all components for all themes included in the dll and the styling is done with explicitly set styles - you have huge assembly, you have styles and resources not applicable for your application, etc. You may find more info on this topic following this link. I suggest that you have referenced the NoXAML binaries and by that reason the controls do not appear. 
Will you please check this one and let me know how it goes?

OK,

The path to my referenced dlls is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for Silverlight Q1 2012\Binaries\Silverlight\Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll

I don't THINK I'm referencing the wrong binaries.
Should I reference these?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for Silverlight Q1 2012\Binaries.NoXaml\Silverlight\Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll

I've tried both and neither work.
I'm not setting the theme or styling anywhere, only using what is standard for now, so I have no idea how to fix this.


Thanks

Hello Lindsay,

 

Indeed you are adding the right references. The behavior you described is a bit strange.
I am attaching you sample project and a screenshot for further reference.
Will you please take a look at the attached project and let me know how it differs from yours?

Vanya, sorry, I've been dragged off this for a bit.

Now it's suddenly urgent and I've still not been able to solve it.
Yes, in answer to your question, all seems the same between my project and yours.

I've done everything I can now but no SL components will show up in this project...

I have now tried reverting back to SL4, re-assigned the previous telerik dlls, cleaned and rebuilt all projects (3) in the solution.
Same issue, I can no longer see any SL controls at runtime.

Also, running OOB, the containing window will not close using X either. I need to actually stop debugging the app in VS.

Methinks something in SL5 and telerik is out of sync here. Versioning, an internal reference, not sure what but this is really screwing up this current solution!

Any further advice on what to check and/or lokk for would be most helpful.

Thanks

Hi,

Do you get the same with the attached project and/or other not Telerik related projects?

Sorry, no, your sample works and the controls show up.

I've been through everthing and cannot see the difference in what you've sent me.
I'm not doing anything unusual or special at all on my project.

The UI controls simply will not display and I can get this in disassembly...

Hello,

 You can open support ticket and send us small example project demonstrating the issue. Once we have the project we will let you know what's going on!

Vlad,

I've created a couple test projects because I thought it might have been a component installation issue or a SL5 issue.
Test project work just fine with all the right references too...so no point in sending a sample as they all work :-)

It is only on THIS one project and I cannot figure it out.

No idea what to do here. I can skype and share screen if that'll help...we can take this offline.

Vlad, further to this, here are my assumptions so far:

Take a look at the disassembly dump. This line i THINK tells us part of the problem:
--- Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation;Component\Themes\Office\Black\Window.xaml

The only control I'm using under Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation is the RadWindow
Somehow it is looking for a theme under Component\Themes\Office\Black\Window.xaml (I think).

I have no such paths (if that what this is refering to) on my machine. The closest is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for Silverlight Q1 2012\Themes\OfficeBlack\Themes\Office\Black
OR
C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for Silverlight Q1 2012\Themes\OfficeBlack\Themes
OR
C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for Silverlight Q3 2011 SP1\Themes\OfficeBlack\Themes\Office\Black
Only this last one contains a Windows.xaml file

Not sure if that helps...
