Since upgrading to v2014.1 VS studio designer will throw an exception "-Infinity is not a valid value for MinDropDownWidth" and will not render the xaml. However the application will build and run without showing this exception.
I believe the problem is in the EditorsGeneric or EditorsMetro.xaml "ComboEditor_EditableComboBoxTemplate" and "ComboEditor_NonEditableComboBoxTemplate"
if I change MinWidth="{Binding (igEditors:XamComboEditor.ComboEditor).MinDropDownWidthResolved, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" to be a static value such as MinWidth="200", then the control will render in the designer.
So I think the MinDropDownWidthResolved should not return -infinity.
Hello kcongdon,
What version of Visual Studio are you using? Also, what exactly do I need to do to reproduce this? Can you give me some steps to follow? Right now I added the EditorGeneric and EditorMetro.xaml files to my project along with the other dictionaries they require. I got these from the Editors folder in the install directory. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Infragistics\2014.1\WPF\DefaultStyles\Editors) I then added a XamComboEditor to the MainWindow and there is no designer error. Is there more that I need to do? I'm using Visual Studio 2012.
VS2013 and Blend for VS 2013. Both will throw the error. It's strange, too, because sometimes the designer will render the controls without the Metro resources.
The steps you mentioned are correct. The only thing I have different is that I add a ResourceWasher but I don't think that is the cause of the problem.
Here is the resource washer code I use:
<igThemes:ResourceWasher WashMode="HueSaturationReplacement" WashColor="{StaticResource MetroWashColor}"> <igThemes:ResourceWasher.SourceDictionary> <ResourceDictionary Source="Themes/Metro/Metro.xamComboEditor.xaml" /> </igThemes:ResourceWasher.SourceDictionary> </igThemes:ResourceWasher>
Here is the designer exception:
ArgumentException: -Infinity is not a valid value for property MinDropDownWidth.

I tested a sample in VS2013 but wasn't able to reproduce this. I have attached the sample I used for testing. Can you run this on your machine and see if it produces the issue? If it does then we might be using different versions of Visual Studio 2013. What is the version # listed under your 'HELP -> About Microsoft Visual Studio' dialog?
Were you able to resolve your issue?
