mscorlib Value cannot be null. Parameter name: source

Hello.
Im developing application using .net 4, telerik (2012.3.1129.40) and mvvm light, nhibernate in WPF using visual studio 2012.

This application is running fine on all computers (about 5-6) except one. Its small laptop with touch screen.
What I'm facing is during load of some forms application crushes. Its mostly when i move mouse into DataFormComboBoxField
which is binded to collection.

Example:
<telerik:DataFormComboBoxField ItemsSource="{Binding ErrandDocTemplates}" DisplayMemberPath="Name"
DataMemberBinding="{Binding SelectedErrandDocTemplate, Mode=TwoWay}" Label="Szablon" Width="430" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>

This project is wpf controls library hosted in WinForms application.

Ive read couple of articles about similiar issue but i couldnt find any solution to this. I tried even cleaning font cashes and update graphic drivers as its said in KB937135 but still with no success.

Here is the stuck trace of firtst exception im getting (there is no inner exception)

System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal

System.ArgumentNullException

I removed all Linq expressions in act od desperation but it still the same. I even turned off colums and rows virtualization on gridviews cause i've read that could be the problem.

I obtained those errors during remote debugging with all possible exceptions checked and there is really nothing else going on.
I'm aware of that you will probably not be able to reproduce this behavior but Ill be gratefull for any help and ideas.

Selected point moves on zoom

Hi,

When zooming into a chart and selecting a point, the selection seems to move along with the scroll bars. I noticed this while adding an annotation feature in my project, and used the selection example from your documentation to test it.

<telerik:RadCartesianChart.Behaviors>

<telerik:ChartSelectionBehavior DataPointSelectionMode="Single" SelectionChanged="ChartSelectionBehavior_SelectionChanged_1" />

<telerik:ChartPanAndZoomBehavior ZoomMode="Both" PanMode="Both"/>

</telerik:RadCartesianChart.Behaviors

private void ChartSelectionBehavior_SelectionChanged_1(object sender, ChartSelectionChangedEventArgs e)

{

//Handle selection of the current point

if (e.AddedPoints.Count > 0)

{

var addedPoint = e.AddedPoints[0];

var series = addedPoint.Presenter as LineSeries;

//Get the Content Presenter of the series

var pointPresenter = series.ChildrenOfType<ContentPresenter>().

Where(cp => cp.Tag == addedPoint).FirstOrDefault();

var ellipseElement = pointPresenter.

ChildrenOfType<Ellipse>().FirstOrDefault();

//Do whatever you want with it :)

ellipseElement.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);

}

//Handle de-selection of the current point

if (e.RemovedPoints.Count > 0)

{

var removedPoint = e.RemovedPoints[0];

var series = removedPoint.Presenter as LineSeries;

var pointPresenter = series.

ChildrenOfType<ContentPresenter>().

Where(cp => cp.Tag == removedPoint).FirstOrDefault();

var ellipseElement = pointPresenter.

ChildrenOfType<Ellipse>().FirstOrDefault();

//Do whatever you want with it :)

ellipseElement.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Yellow);

}

I've attached a couple of screenshots to make it clearer. The selected point shouldn't move - do you know why this is happening?

Thanks!

Vertical Linear Gauge width

I'd like to to remove all of the outside margin/padding around the gauge and then make the width of the bar indicator wider.

I've attached images to demonstrate my current (default) look and my desired look.

Loaded event called twice

I have an docking control and adding panes dynamically. But "Loaded" events of the controls called twice. Am I doing something wrong ?
Here's the XAML:

    
            <Telerik:RadDocking Grid.Row="1" Name="xamDockManager1">  
        
                        <Telerik:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition="DockedBottom">  
        
                            <Telerik:RadPaneGroup> 
        
                                <Telerik:RadDocumentPane Header="Mesajlar" CanUserPin="True" CanFloat="False" CanUserClose="False" IsPinned="False" > 
        
                                    <TextBox Style="{StaticResource StyleTextBoxMessages}" AutoWordSelection="True" Name="TextBoxMessages" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"  VerticalAlignment="Stretch"  HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Margin="0" IsReadOnly="True">  
        
                                        <TextBox.ContextMenu> 
        
                                            <ContextMenu Name="MenuItemMessages">  
        
                                                <MenuItem Name="MenuItemMessagesClear" Click="MenuItemMessagesClear_Click" Header="Temizle"></MenuItem> 
        
                                                <MenuItem Name="MenuItemMessagesSave" Click="MenuItemMessagesSave_Click"  Header="Kaydet"></MenuItem> 
        
                                            </ContextMenu> 
        
                                        </TextBox.ContextMenu> 
        
                                    </TextBox> 
        
                                </Telerik:RadDocumentPane> 
        
                            </Telerik:RadPaneGroup> 
        
                        </Telerik:RadSplitContainer> 
        
                        <Telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost> 
        
                            <Telerik:RadSplitContainer> 
        
                                <Telerik:RadPaneGroup Name="documentPaneGroup" SelectionChanged="documentPaneGroup_SelectionChanged">  
        
                                </Telerik:RadPaneGroup> 
        
                            </Telerik:RadSplitContainer> 
        
                        </Telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost> 
        
                    </Telerik:RadDocking>

Here's the code to add a pane:

    
            public RadPane AddPane(UserControl control, bool canBeClosed = true)  
        
                    {  
        
                        RadPane contentPane = new RadPane();  
        
                        contentPane.Content = control;  
        
                        //contentPane.Header = control.Title;  
        
                        contentPane.IsSelected = true;  
        
                        contentPane.CanFloat = false;  
        
                        contentPane.CanUserPin = false;  
        
                        documentPaneGroup.AddItem(contentPane, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking.DockPosition.Center);  
        
                        return contentPane;  
        
                    }

Does this mean a control embedded in a RadPane loaded twice ?

CTRL-X issue with MaskedTextInput without any mask

Hi

I have a MaskedTextInput with the following settings

<telerik:RadMaskedTextInput Style="{StaticResource SingleLineTextInputWithNoMask}" Value="{Binding Value}" />

and its style

<Style x:Key="SingleLineTextInputWithNoMask" TargetType="{x:Type telerik:RadMaskedTextInput}" >

<Setter Property="IsClearButtonVisible" Value="False" />

<Setter Property="InputBehavior" Value="Insert" />

<Setter Property="Mask" Value="" />

<Setter Property="AcceptsReturn" Value="False" />

</Style>

When a user mark the text content and hit CTRL-X a mask like _________ is shown and then it is impossible to paste again text to that MaskedTextInput, which I think is a bug

I am using RadControls for WPF controls with version 2013.1.403.40

Cheers

Rad chart on refresh confuse Y axis labels and scaling

Hi!

Working with radchart I face with the problem that after I refresh the page (on which is my chart) it's Y axis is strange.

My XAML:

<telerik:RadChart x:Name="durationChart" ItemsSource="{Binding DurationChart, Mode=TwoWay}">

<telerik:RadChart.SeriesMappings>

<telerik:SeriesMapping LegendLabel="Devices">

<telerik:SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition>

<telerik:BarSeriesDefinition></telerik:BarSeriesDefinition>

</telerik:SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition>

<telerik:SeriesMapping.ItemMappings>

<telerik:ItemMapping DataPointMember="Label" FieldName="Value"></telerik:ItemMapping>

<telerik:ItemMapping DataPointMember="YValue" FieldName="Value"></telerik:ItemMapping>

<telerik:ItemMapping DataPointMember="XCategory" FieldName="Label"/>

</telerik:SeriesMapping.ItemMappings>

</telerik:SeriesMapping>

</telerik:RadChart.SeriesMappings>

</telerik:RadChart>

Code-behind (declared in the constructor):

#region Duration Chart

// Hide legend

durationChart.DefaultView.ChartLegend.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;

// Axis titles

durationChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.Title = MOD_COM_HLP.LocalizationHelper.LocalizeString(ResourceKeys.DLYPlantDelaysDurationXAxisResourceKey);

durationChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.Title = MOD_COM_HLP.LocalizationHelper.LocalizeString(ResourceKeys.DLYPlantDelaysDurationYAxisResourceKey);

// X axis

durationChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.AxisLabelsVisibility = Visibility.Visible;

durationChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.PlotAreaAxisLabelsVisibility = Visibility.Visible;

// Y axis

durationChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.AxisLabelsVisibility = Visibility.Visible;

durationChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.MajorTicksVisibility = Visibility.Visible;

durationChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.MinorTicksVisibility = Visibility.Hidden;

#endregion

My binded OC for feeding the chart:

ObservableCollection<DLYChartPoint> durationChart = new ObservableCollection<DLYChartPoint>();

My refresh function does nothing more than clear the OC and rewrite the data for feed my chart:

private void FillDurationChart()

{

// Aux values

List<LPD_COM_ENT.AUXValue> dlyDurationChartPeriods = lPDModulesLibraryProxy.ReadAUXValues(new LPDModulesLibrary.Common.Entities.ReadFilter() { VariableName = "DLY_DURATION_CHART_PERIOD"});

if (Items == null) return;

// Clear the chart

DurationChart.Clear();

// Add the columns

foreach (LPD_COM_ENT.AUXValue variable in dlyDurationChartPeriods) {

DLYChartPoint point = new DLYChartPoint() {Label = variable.CharValue, Value=0, UniqueId=variable.ValueSeq };

DurationChart.Add(point);

}

// Fill chart

foreach (DLYDelay stoppage in Items)

{

double duration = (stoppage.EndDelay - stoppage.StartDelay).TotalSeconds;

foreach (LPD_COM_ENT.AUXValue variable in dlyDurationChartPeriods) {

if (duration >= variable.IntegerValue && duration < variable.FloatValue) {

DurationChart[(int)variable.ValueSeq].Value++;

}

Thanks for all your replies.

DragDropManager GiveFeedbackHandler always gets DragDropEffects.Copy regardless of target type

I was trying to switch over to the DragDropManager today as the builds are now showing the previous manager is obsolete. (Moving to 2013 Q1 SP1).

It all looks straight forward as I use DragInitialize to setup for the drag and then watch GiveFeedback to see what DragDropEffects are being passed back by a valid drop target below what I am dragging (cursor).

Put simply, I can drag all over my app's window and see DragDropEffects.Copy always being returned. Except for a few limited cases, e.g., dragging over a standard WPF text box or the app title bar, or a window outside my app. In the latter cases, I get DragDropEffects.None - as expected!

I must be missing something. I have a custom class as the payload being dragged. I even set it so automatic conversions are not allowed. How are the window's in my app returning the DragDropEffects.Copy effect when they should have absolutely no idea as to how to interpret the payload?

Is it because I have mixed old and new drag/drop methodologies? Is this an error on my part, or the new implementation?

I really want the app to show the cursor associated wth DragDropEffects.None until it is over a target that recognizes the payload type.

Any suggestions appreciated.

PDF417 rows and colums

Hello, I am using Telerik WPF RadControls for generating the PDF417 barcode image. I need to specify the number of barcode image columns and rows. The code I am using is following:

<telerik:RadBarcodePDF417 Name="barcode1" Width="480" Height="152" HorizontalAlignment="Left" >

</telerik:RadBarcodePDF417>

Some other solutions I tested have properties like "NumberOfRows" and "NumberOfColumns". I would like to know whether it is possible to adjust that with RadControls.

Please help. Thank you.
