Question

Recently i moved my project from .Net3.5 to .Net4. In earlier version to use DataGrid, i was using wpfToolkit and its working fine. But after moving to .Net4 i don’t want to explicitly add the refernce to my toolkit since DataGrid has been moved under Controls namespace.

But, all the related references have been moved except for the DataGridHeaderBorder under Controls namespace. To use this we have to explicitly ad reference to PresentationFramework.Aero. I referred to these URL’s –

WPF4 DataGridHeaderBorder in a xaml Style

https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/584894/wpf4-datagridheaderborder-in-a-xaml-style

But i can’t add the PresentationFramework.Aero to our project since Aero theme may not be present for all the target environments. So, is there any workaround i can try to get it working? Any how can i get the code from assembly PresentationFramework.Aero for DataGridHeaderBorder so that i can override or subclass it in my code. Any help?

I think you could download latest source code of WPFToolkit and extract DataGridHeaderBorder styles from it.

It has DataGrid\Microsoft\Windows\Controls\DataGridHeaderBorder.cs and corresponding Aero, Classic, Luna themes in DataGrid\Themes\* too.
