Error with controls in designer view - Editors for WPF Forum

Posted 16 years ago by Christopher Hujanen

Platform: .NET 3.5

Environment: Windows Vista (32-bit)

I have installed the latest (487) release just last night (this is the first use of the beta controls for me). When I drag a control such as DateTimeEditBox (looks like anything derived from PartEditBox) from the toolbox in Visual Studio onto a window, I get the following error:

---------------------------
Error Dialog
---------------------------
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.MultiDataTrigger' to type 'System.Windows.Trigger'.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I can drag the controls directly to the XAML pane, and things work that way just fine. And when I compile/run, things work as expected. But whenever I try to manipulate the control in the visual designer view, that same error pops up (like if I try to resize the control, etc.).

Is this a known issue, or do I have some sort of conflict on my system?

Hi Christopher,

We tried on a couple computers here and had another customer try it too and none of us had any issues. None of us have seen that error before. In our code checks we found all MultiDataTriggers are properly in Triggers collections too. So unfortunately I'm not sure what to tell you on this one.

Hi Christopher,

This is a bug in the WPF designer, and it has been addressed in hotfix KB963676. Currently, there is no hotfix available for Windows 7, but one will be shipped with the final Windows 7 release.

Regards,
Mike

Is there a Windows 7 hotfix available yet? We are evaluating the current latest version (9.1.0507) and are still experiencing this problem.

Thanks,

Hi Kevin,

I'd recommend asking this on a Microsoft forum, this was suppose to be included in the RTM version of Windows 7.

Are you reproducing the issue using the steps described above? Also what version of Windows 7 are you running?

The latest build of this product (v24.1.5) was released 1 month ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
