After chasing my tail for longer than I will admit I found the very important note in the RadBindingNaviagator Getting Started page not to change the design time name of the control or the control will not function. By convention and policy all controls are changed to meaningful names in my programming environment. I would like to say that this non-standard behavior is very unwelcome I strongly request that behavior gets corrected going forward. It makes me wonder what other traps are in the controls. Thanks
