Hi Amit Saraf,

Case 1: Syncfusion assembly not added

Based on provided information we suspect that in your application does not contains the Syncfusion.Shared.Wpf.Classic assembly. So, you can resolve the reported problem by adding Syncfusion.Shared.Wpf.Classic assembly to use SfDataGrid control. Please refer the below screenshot,



Case 2:  Syncfusion assemblies are not referred properly in application

 

We suspect that your assemblies are not referred properly. Can you please confirm the below things?   

        1. Please ensure all the Syncfusion dependency assemblies are referred from the same location.  

        2. Please check in your sample using assemblies are contain same version of Syncfusion product? If not, can you please refer the same version assembly of Syncfusion product.

        1. Syncfusion updated version   

        2. Video illustration of the reported issue

Hi Amit Saraf

We have added the Syncfusion.Shared.WPF.Classic Assembly in 18.4 version. If you are using the 19.3 Syncfusion assembly version, you will need to add the Syncfusion.Shared.WPF.Classic assembly. We accepted it breaking changes. For more details about breaking changes, please refer the below release notes link.

Hi,

I'm using 21.1.35 and I've tried 21.2.8 and I get the exact same error. I'm referencing the packages in my project file:

    <PackageReference Include="Syncfusion.SfChart.WPF" Version="21.1.35" />

    <PackageReference Include="Syncfusion.SfGrid.WPF" Version="21.1.35" />

The Shared package is referenced implicitly, but the Classic isn't to be found... what can be the issue?

[Vijayarasan Sivanandham]

Hi Erik,

We have delisted all our classic assemblies (tools classic, shared classic, and some of our themes). That’s why the Syncfusion.Shared.Wpf.Classic assembly was not found while searching in the NuGet packages.

However, you can resolve the reported problem by installing Syncfusion.Shared.Wpf.Classic assembly in your application.

NuGet Details Link: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Syncfusion.Shared.WPF.Classic

Note: You can install this NuGet package by the command in the Package Manager Console. Refer to the below-mentioned screenshot for opening the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio.


Install Command:

Hi Vijayarasan,

Yes it works! Thank you for your quick response!

Since this this package is unlisted, may I assume that this way of Print Preview isn't the recommended way to do it (anymore)? According to the docs it is...

Kind regards,

Erik

Erik,

The current look and feel of the PrintPreviewWindow is achieved by applying the Metro theme.  However, we would like to inform you that this assembly has been removed since Syncfusion version (v19.4.0.56) due to being classified as classic. Therefore, we kindly request you to install the package through the Package Manager as we suggested in our previous updates to resolve this issue. This is the recommended way to print the data by using the ShowPrintPreview method.
