Hello Mark,

Were you able to resolve your issue?

Some improvement with 14.2 in that the behaviour now works but the exceptions are still being throw and swallowed internally, however aside from the untidy output window there is a noticeable negative performance impact vs other themes due to the exceptions and stack unwinding etc.

The errors appear as follows and are generated when calling Activate on the ContentPane for the first time or when adding to a region:

A first chance exception of type 'MS.Internal.Xaml.Parser.GenericTypeNameParser.TypeNameParserException' occurred in System.Xaml.dll

System.Windows.Data Error: 40 : BindingExpression path error: '(igDock:PaneToolWindow.ToolWindow)' property not found on 'object' ''Button' (Name='')'. BindingExpression:Path=(igDock:PaneToolWindow.ToolWindow).WindowState; DataItem='Button' (Name=''); target element is 'Button' (Name=''); target property is 'NoTarget' (type 'Object')

A first chance exception of type 'MS.Internal.Xaml.Parser.GenericTypeNameParser.TypeNameParserException' occurred in System.Xaml.dll
System.Windows.Data Error: 40 : BindingExpression path error: '(igDock:PaneToolWindow.ToolWindow)' property not found on 'object' ''PaneHeaderPresenter' (Name='')'. BindingExpression:Path=(igDock:PaneToolWindow.ToolWindow).WindowState; DataItem='PaneHeaderPresenter' (Name=''); target element is 'PaneHeaderPresenter' (Name=''); target property is 'NoTarget' (type 'Object')

The error seems to stem from the fact it thinks there is no definition (or a bad definition) of the igDock namespace:

"A first chance exception of type 'MS.Internal.Xaml.Parser.GenericTypeNameParser.TypeNameParserException' occurred in System.Xaml.dll

Additional information: Prefix 'igDock' does not map to a namespace."

I think i got it fixed.

When using my Approach to include the files manually and not by Setting the Theme-Property to "Office2013" you need to edit the file "DockManagerOffice2013.xaml".

Within this file there are 15 appearances of Binding to the igDock-Namespace which look like "Binding (igDock:".

You need to edit these lines to this "Binding Path=(igDock:".

Just add "Path=", save the file and the error is gone. Why exactly this is i can not tell you.

I also tried the following. Perhaps it gives someone an idea. I tried to include the desired xaml-Files as Merged-Dictionaries. So in my app.xaml i reference the File:

<ResourceDictionary Source="Themes/Office2013/DockManagerOffice2013.xaml"></ResourceDictionary>

I got the file from the Installation path. All other needed files are also included in the Project.

DockManagerAero_Brushes.xaml, DockManagerGeneric.xaml and DockManagerOffice2013_Brushes.xaml.

The same error occurs when "DockManagerOffice2013.xaml" is included. When it is included the Design-View appears different for the XamDockManager, so i think it works as intended. If i comment the "DockManagerOffice2013.xaml" so it is not included anymore the error is gone.

All this is without Setting the Theme-Property directly to "Office2013", as my idea was to use the definitions in the XAML-File as default. Sadly it does not work. I´m really sstuck as to where the Problem can be found.

btw. Same Problem with 14.1

I have the exact same Problem. I updated all References to IG14.2 and with the Change of selecting the Theme "Office2013" these Errors occur.

xmlns:igDock="clr-namespace:Infragistics.Windows.DockManager;assembly=InfragisticsWPF4.DockManager.v14.2"

...

<igDock:XamDockManager x:Name="dockManagerMain" InitializePaneContent="DockManagerMain_InitializePaneContent" ActivePaneChanged="DockManagerMain_ActivePaneChanged" Theme="Office2013">
</igDock:XamDockManager>

In my cs file i populate the dockmanager this way:

            dockManagerDocumentContentHost = new DocumentContentHost();
            dockManagerDocumentContentHostSplitPane = new SplitPane();
            dockManagerDocumentContentHostTabGroupPane = new TabGroupPane { TabStripPlacement = Dock.Top, AllowDrop = true };

            dockManagerDocumentContentHost.Name = "DockManagerDocumentContentHost";
            dockManagerDocumentContentHostSplitPane.Name = "DockManagerDocumentContentHostSplitPane";
            dockManagerDocumentContentHostTabGroupPane.Name = "DockManagerDocumentContentHostTabGroupPane";

            dockManagerMain.Content = dockManagerDocumentContentHost;

            dockManagerDocumentContentHost.Panes.Add(dockManagerDocumentContentHostSplitPane);
            dockManagerDocumentContentHostSplitPane.Panes.Add(dockManagerDocumentContentHostTabGroupPane); <---- Here the Debugger throws that exception.

HI

I am facing the similar exception Prefix 'igDock' does not map to a namespace." when using the default theme xaml files.

Any help in this regard will be appreciated.
