DevExpress Silverlight Themes

StyleManager allows you to apply a predefined theme (designed by DevExpress) to an entire application (to all controls, standard or developed by DevExpress). To use a theme, reference the corresponding assembly.

#Applying a Theme to All Controls

To apply a theme to all controls (standard and DevExpress), do the following:

  • Reference the corresponding theme assembly.

  • Specify the required theme. Note that this should be done in code behind.

    
using System.Windows.Controls;
using DevExpress.Xpf.Core;

public partial class MainPage : UserControl {
    public MainPage() {
        ThemeManager.ApplicationTheme = Theme.Office2007Blue;
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}
NOTE

Theme assemblies contain appearance settings of all controls developed by DevExpress for Silverlight. When running the application under Visual Studio, the style manager checks whether all DevExpress assemblies, containing controls, are included in the application. If an assembly was not found, it throws an exception which does not affect the product's functionality. To avoid this (e.g. you do not need DevExpress.AgDataGrid.vX.X.dll), disable the following option.

XamlParseException
