MaskedInput: DesignTime exception "Can only base on a Style with target type that is base type"
Bug details:
OS: Windows 10.
VS: 2015 professional
Telerik version: 2015.2 SP1

Code sample:
<Window x:Class="RadMaskedInputBug.MainWindow"
                xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
                xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
                Title="MainWindow">
    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadTextTimeInput />
    </Grid>
</Window>


The designer crashes and shows only the exception:
InvalidOperationException: Can only base on a Style with target type that is base type 'RadMaskedTextInput'.

UPDATE: 
Telerik has submitted a bug report to Microsoft. You can check its progress here: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/2005303/designer-error-can-only-base-on-a-style-with-target-type-that-is-base-type-customcontrol-when-a-style-is-basedon-a-style-of-an-abstract-class 
On 21/12/2015 Microsoft commented that a fix has been submitted and will be available in the next update.

I also have this problem in Windows 10 VS 2013 with NoXaml Binaries.

Can you please open a new support thread with an isolated project attached ?
This way we would be better able to investigate the issue and prepare a correct description that we can possibly send to Microsoft if needed.

Hi Petar,
I use ONLY no-xaml binaries.
I tried it again, I deleted the references and added them manually from C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\UI for WPF Q2 2015\Binaries.NoXaml\WPF45.
I clean the project [deleted obj and bin folders], and the problem still occurs.

Hi Yehuda,

We investigated this again before asking Microsoft. 
We only managed to reproduce it if we do the following unsupported operation.
We use Theme xaml files in Theme folder attached to the project. We reference the xaml files in APP.xaml. However, we use XAML DLLS - Teleril.WIndows.Controls.dll and Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input dll. This is the only way to reproduce the exception.

The correct way to use attached xaml files is in cobination with no-xaml binaries. Pelase check this helpa rticle for further information. http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/styling-and-appearance/styling-apperance-implicit-styles-overview.html 

Could you please confirm this is the exact case in your environment ? Please double check the App.xaml, the binaries and the attached xaml files (if any).

Petar, thanks for the idea to switch to x86!
I hope Microsoft will fix it.

We will contact Microsoft about this one.
Additional information we found => when you change the target platform of the application from x64 to x86 the issue is not reproducible.

Hi Yehudah,

We are currently investigating this one and we managed to reproduce it.
Probably this is a bug in VS 2015 having in mind that it is not reproducible in other visual studio versions and the stacktrace does not include telerik's code.

If applicable in your scenario, as a workaround, you can reference no xaml binaries and theme dll, instead of referencing the xaml files in Theme folder.

Of course, this is a typo, and I meant RadMaskedDateTimeInput. 
Attached a screenshot, from a new and clean project, after rebuild.

Hi Yehudah

Note that the MaskedInput suite doesn't provide control called RadTextTimeInput. We tested the masked input controls but we weren't able to reproduce the described design time error. This is why I would ask you to prepare an isolated project that demonstrates the issue and send it here in the comments as an attachment. In the meantime you can try to manually delete the "bin" and "obj" folders of the project and then Clean and Rebuild it and see if the issue still occurs.

Regards
