We are converting existing projects with Infragistics WPF 12.2 assembly references to .NET4.5.
I cannot get VS2012 or Blend CTP 2 Update 2 to display any IG controls in the designer after changing to .NET 4.5. Projects build and run correctly.
Designer shows errors similar to:
"Object of type Jnfragistics.Windows.Themes.RibbonGeneric+ Locator cannot be converted to type Infragistics.Windows.Themes.ResourceSetLocator."
Virtually every IG control will display this error in the designer where the theme assembly is specific to the control type throwing the error.
Our Infragistics dlls are from the CLR4.0 folder. I see there is also a "Version Free" folder. Do I need to change my references to the "Version Free" dlls?
I have confirmed that all projects in the solution are targeting .NET 4.5 and they all build and run correctly. I just can't get the WYSIWYG designer to show Infragistics controls.
Hello,
Thank you for your post I have been looking into it and this doesn’t seem to be a known issue, so could you please send an isolated sample project, where this is reproduced, and steps to reproduce, so I can investigate it further for you.
Looking forward for your reply.
I am still trying to work through this conversion to .NET 4.5. I cannot create a sample project to recreate. All Infragistics controls will not render in the designer in VS2012 or Blend CTP2 Update2. Here are examples of the errors:
Exception: The component 'Infragistics.Windows.Design.SmartTagFramework.SmartButtonAdorner' does not have a resource identified by the URI '/InfragisticsWPF.Design.VS2012;component/smarttagframework/smartbuttonadorner.xaml'.
and
Method not found:Infragistics.Windows.Themes.ResourceSetLocator Infragistics.Windows.Themes.EditorsResourceSet'1.get_Location()
The rest of the view is rendered, but the designer cannot render any Infragistics controls.
Any suggestions you have to help me resolve these issues would be appreciated. All of the projects rendered views correctly when the projects were on .NET 4
are these messages indicating that some helper design.dll or design.VS2012.dll is missing or corrupted?
Could you please send us the exact version of VS, OS and NetAdvantage that you are using, so we could be able to investigate this further for you?
Looking forwared for your reply.

Hello again,
Could please try to change the target framework of the sample I attached, so we find out where exactly the issue comes from.
I was able to convert your project to 4.5 and it worked fine in the designer for both VS2012 and Blend. I also changed the reference to the version-free dlls and it worked fine in the designer.
The solution I am converting has many projects and layers. I have examined each project to make sure they are all targeting the correct CLR and the dll references are compiled to the correct target CLR and reference the same set of Infragistics dlls. I am able to create from scratch a simple project like yours referencing the IG dlls and it works correctly like your sample project.
I also made sure the design and design.VS2012 helper assemblies are in the source dll folder.
What other characteristics should I be looking at?
Thank you.
I can create a private case for you, where you could send me the project, where the issue is reproduced, so we can investigate it further for you.
yes, thank you all for your help.
If I read your last update correctly you have resolved the designer issue and this is now working correctly.
Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
ugh, apparently somewhere along the line some references to our own assemblies got corrupted and/or there was a custom converter throwing an exception that never appeared in any of the stack traces we were looking at and didn't happen before the switch to .NET4.5... Why IG was blowing up the designer because of these.. I will probably never know.
Thank you for YOUR patience.
Interestingly there are also multiple instances of your assemblies in memory which I'm guessing is why there are multiple instances of our assemblies. So for example I see that 2 Asset.Resources assemblies are loaded - which while they have the same version number seem to have different dates (1 from 3/15 and another from 3/18). In other cases (e.g. MVVM.Markup) I see 3 copies of your assemblies loaded. I suspect if you correct that then the designer issue will go away.
I've got nothing but patience now. Thanks for your help.
I have attached to XDesProc and added that Module output to the spreadsheet attached.
Definitely seeing 2-3 instances of many but not all IG assemblies. They all seem to be the version-free assemblies and the correct version 12.2.20122.2089.
It seems that where some are referenced 3 times, the VS2012.dll verison is only referenced twice. I don't know if that is a tell or not.
