Telerik Reporting inside a WPF MAF (System.Addin) control

Question

I am using MAF (System.Addin) to display a WPF control onto a shared main form. When I add the telerik reportviewer I am getting a exception that I am trying to access a different thread then the one that owns the control. If you look through the exception stack you can see a reference to Application.Mainwindow however, since I am in a Addin the application mainwindow does not belong to my domain.

Is there a way to set the Application.Mainwindow inside of a Addin object?

Answer 1

In this configuration (Telerik Reporting, WPF, and MAF (System.Addin)) The WPF cannot be used due to the RadSlider requiring a link to the MainForm.

I have switched to using the Winform in a FormHost and it worked. Its not ideal, but it works.
