Hi Support,
I have just updated to the latest version 2.6 in Visual Studio 2013, however now none of the themes are available, (including my own which I have manually upgraded and rebuilt the assembly).
What can I do to see the themes in Visual Studio again?
Many thanks
Paul Targett
DevExpress theme list is empty at design time after an update to version v13.2

Hello Paul,
Please make sure that the DevExpress.Web.ASPxThemes.v13.2.dll assembly is directly referenced in your project (check the project's references) and there are no old version assemblies in the Bin folder.
In addition, check the Availability of Themes Assembly in web.config.
I recommend you clear up the *c:\Users\[your_user]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\[Visual_Studio_version]\ReflectedSchemas* folder before opening your project in Visual Studio.

Hello Paul,
I see that you're using a custom theme. I've tried to reproduce the problem on my side using a custom theme assembly but without success (see the attached video). Make sure that you've updated your theme assembly to an appropriate version. In addition, check how the attached project works on your side.
If this issue is reproduced only with your project, send it to us for research.
I'm looking forward to your reply.

Hi Artem,
by updating the Web.config web assembly, this resolves the issue of showing all the themes.
Unfortunately even though I have used the Project Converter on my theme, it still isn't being applied properly when I add it to the project using the 'Project Wizard' and manually selecting the DLL theme I have created. By adding this, it removed all the other themes.
I will have to look at creating the theme again and trying to see if that will work.
Hello Paul,
Thank you for keeping us informed about your progress.
Make sure that you've updated your custom theme as described in the How to resolve issues with custom themes after upgrading article.
In this case, it should be opened in ThemeBuilder and applied to a new project correctly.
Hi,
Would you please clarify whether or not you used the Project Converter tool to upgrade your project?
In addition, would you please create a new project in 13.2.6 and let us know if you can reproduce the issue.
Also, if possible, please create a screencast that illustrates the issue. You can use the Jing tool for this purpose.
Hi Kate,
I used the Project Converter to upgrade my ASP.net Web Application, and the Theme.
In a new project, I DO get a list of the themes, which is good news!
Below is a PDF with a screenshot of the dropdown with nothing in…
Thanks
Paul
