 I am experiencing 2 issues.

 1. When I try to use a public property on a control buy adding it to the XAML, I get the Silverlight bad property error.

 2. When I try to use a Combo Box control I am unable to set anything programmatically and all that renders on the page is half of the drop down arrow image. I cant set the height or width or add any items to the list.

Im using VS 2008 Professional and all of the latest Silverlight downloads. I just downloaded the Component One control set 2 days ago.

The current version of silverlight (or Blend, I'm not sure) can only parse properties of basic types (strings, ints, and a few Silverlight native types). It does not support custom TypeConverters.

Are you adding items to the combo.Items collection? If you add them to the combo.Children collection, it won't work...

I tried doing this by adding to the Items collection. It doesnt do anything. I dont receive an error, I simply have half of a dropdown arrow and when I click that, I only have a small grey dot where I am guessing the dropdown list is to be rendered.

Would it be possible to post an example of adding a ComboBox in XAML? I cant seem to even access the ComboBox via the code behind. I try to set properties and such, based on the examples in your Samples ControlExplorer project but am not having any results trying to access the ComboBox itself.

I am using these controls inside of another User Control, could that be the issue? 

Thanks for the reply. 

Perhaps, it's hard to tell without seeing the project. Can you make a simple app that shows the problem, zip it, and e-mail that to me?
