I ended up using the OnLayoutUpdated event and the various Drop controls were not null and could be collapsed in that event.  Just remember that this can be called quite a few times (and not just once like the OnLoaded event).

I tried the same thing that nharake did and put the code in both OnLoaded events and the controls are still null.  I tried the OnLoaded of the containing UserControl and in the xamPivotGrid.  The MeasuresDropControl was null as well as quite a few others.

thanks alot,

can i know when is the release of the 11.2?

Hi

I saw you use Silverlight 5. We have not built and tested the control against this version of SL. I am sure this is the reason you get null element data
