ThemeManager Theme throws System.NotSupportedException
posted

Hi all

When I try to bind WPF application with

<ig:ThemeManager.Theme>
        <ig:Office2013Theme StyleMicrosoftControls="True" />
</ig:ThemeManager.Theme>

I've got the exception(look at attached pic). The main xaml looks like

<Window x:Class="Backup.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:ignore="http://www.ignore.com"
        xmlns:ig="http://schemas.infragistics.com/xaml"
        mc:Ignorable="d ignore"
        Height="300"
        Width="300"
        Title="Backup V1.0"
        WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
        ResizeMode="NoResize"
        WindowStyle="None"
        DataContext="{Binding Main, Source={StaticResource Locator}}">
    
    <Window.Resources>
    </Window.Resources>
    
    <ig:ThemeManager.Theme>
        <ig:Office2013Theme StyleMicrosoftControls="True" />
    </ig:ThemeManager.Theme>

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">

        <Button Content="Terst" Height="30" Width="30"></Button>
    </Grid>
</Window>

What am I doing wrong?

THanks

    I am also getting exceptions when using the ThemeManager.

    As soon as I add

    <ig:ThemeManager.Theme>
            <ig:IgTheme />
    </ig:ThemeManager.Theme>

    to my XAML, they start popping up and its kinda annoying.

    A first chance exception of type 'System.Xaml.XamlObjectWriterException' occurred in System.Xaml.dll
    A first chance exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' occurred in PresentationFramework.dll
    [repeated many times]

           InnerException:

    I configured the debugger to stop on XamlObjectWriterException so I could see why. The first exception seems to be related to something that has Background setter but there is no background dependency property on that type. No details are given as to what exactly is causing the error. Moving onto the next few occurrences and we see other things like BorderBrush and BorderThickness pop up as being setters on something that has no corresponding dependency property. Seems to me like something fishy is going on inside that DLL that needs to be looked at

    In order to eliminate the exceptions, I tried manually adding add of the resource references from the IG theme into my shared styles dictionary. Once I do this and remove the XAML above, the exceptions stop!  Ok, something is up.

    Infragistics, please look into this further as I don't think the exceptions should be getting thrown, so something is amiss. I don't get any exceptions when manually including the theme resources. On an odd but seemingly related note, I know I couldn't include IG.xamGauges.xaml because it couldn't find certain resources despite having included all of the IG dlls in my project. I don't use it so it doesn't matter much to me right now, but I think its worth mentioning.

    As a workaround, try manually including all of the theme resources like I did.

    Hi Jean-Pascal Robert-Nicoud,

    Could you please post the full exception details(Click "Copy exception detail to the clipboard" link on the exception popup in VS and paste it into a text file - check out the attached screenshot) so I could have a better chance to get some idea what's is going on. It would be even better if you could create a small sample that illustrate the exception you're getting.
