Good Morning:
Following the trail blazed by Artem Gilmanov,(artemgilmanov (Artem Gilmanov) · GitHub), and others, I have attempted to develop a WPF window with MahApps.Metro controls. My particular interest is RangeSlider control. Through a number of refinements, and reworking the OnRender() method for the upper TickBar. The control window, when compiled in VS2022, has this appearance:
The second image shows the range selection of a sub-domain of all the tick values.
When instancing the MainWindow, by using a CustomComponent in Grasshopper, …
the MainWindow does display but is deprived of the MahApps.Metro goodness.
It appears from the VS2022 output that Rhino is loading the MahApps.Metro and related .dlls as part of its opening process. However, numerous TypeNameParseExceptions appear at the opening process and also, when Grasshopper instances the MainWindow as shown below.

From this, can I conclude that the issue is not with Grasshopper but also with Rhino itself; the control .dlls load, but Rhino or MS.Internal.Xaml.Parser cannot ‘see’ the types within the .dlls?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
