How to use package *.tssp as resource

Thanks for fixing the link...

I tried to follow all of the instructions here, but I seem to be going wrong somewhere.

So far I have:

1. Used Visual Style Builder to create a simple style. To test, just a new background color for RadTreeView.

2. Saved it as a tssp file 

3. Added the TSSP file to the Resources of my application (VB.net and VS2017)

4. added the command to load the package resource..ThemeResolutionService.LoadPackageResource("StyleTester.MX2.tssp")

5. Run the app: but no changes to my control.   

What have I missed?

• Set the build action of the theme to Embedded Resource. 
• Set the ApplicationThemeName property. 

Ah ha! Thanks - that's working fine now.

Can I suggest that you add this advice to your instructions ? Maybe a step-by-step guide all the way from from copying the built-in themes, through to testing them in a project. At the moment, the instructions are a bit spread-out, in videos, some in KB articles, and some in the regular documentation. And there is contradictory advice about using the individual control XML files and the newer tssp approach.

This is one of the main reasons why I bought the WinForms framework, so it's a critical feature, and one which evaluators of your product will probably test as well.

...and thanks for the great support!
