Windows8 Theme error : Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt

[pharmadev]

Hi,

I have a RadDatePicker with the following markup:
 <telerik:RadDatePicker x:Name="dpBirth" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Windows8" SelectedDate="{Binding CurrentDM.BRTHDAT, Converter={StaticResource DateTimeConverter}, Mode=TwoWay}" Tag="BRTHDAT"  
                                                    Width="100" InputMode="DatePicker" DateSelectionMode="Month" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Background="{x:Null}" DateTimeWatermarkContent="dd-MMM-yyyy"/>

When I change the date, the debugger is looking for a specific file: Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.xaml for the Windows 8 theme and  error is raised (see attached file)

When I add Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.xaml in the solution (was taken from C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for Silverlight Q3 2012\Themes\Windows8\Themes folder), the same error is raised (Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt)

I know the problem is in the xaml but I cannot fix it. How? It I put a Vista theme, no error is raised.

I am missing something?

P.S The converter is only there for the formatting of the date

Hi,

We tried to reproduce the issue but with no success.

Could you try to reproduce the issue in a sample project and send it to us in order for us to observe it and see what could be the cause of it?

Kind regards,

Hi,
I performed a some cleaning on my desktop and solution: I removed the Metro folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for Silverlight Q3 2012\Themes, clean my solution, removed the Theme.Metro reference, fixed my xaml, removed new MetroTheme() line is my App.xaml.cs) files and the problem seems to have disappeared.
When you look at the error, you can see tha the application is looking for the Metro theme (which is obsolete, replaced by Window8 Theme), that why i did "my cleaning".

 I will monitor the situation but we can consider that the problem is fixed.

Thank you for support!

P.S
Sorry for my late response, we were in vacation.

Problem is still there...

I found an opening issue with this (#12781). We need a fix since that we are releasing our application this month.
Can you please provide an "real update"  for a fix?
