Hello all,
I came across the following issue in my MVVM application.
This is my MainWindow xaml where I am subcribing the MainWindowResources.xaml in the Window.Resources to obtain my Styles.
And my MainWindowResources.xaml below:
I have another usercontrol for my frist view:
With a pretty much similar FirstViewResources.xaml
However, for my for my FirstView I am getting an exception error. "An error occurred while finding the resource dictionary "FirstViewResources.xaml"."
And Also in the designer view I am getting another error message:
" at Microsoft.Expression.WpfPlatform.InstanceBuilders.ResourceDictionaryInstanceBuilder.ProvideResourceD ictionary(IInstanceBuilderContext context, ViewNode viewNode, IDocumentRoot& relatedRoot, ResourceDictionary& originalInstance)
at Microsoft.Expression.WpfPlatform.InstanceBuilders.ResourceDictionaryInstanceBuilder.UpdateProperty(I InstanceBuilderContext context, ViewNode viewNode, IProperty propertyKey, DocumentNode valueNode)
at Microsoft.Expression.WpfPlatform.InstanceBuilders.ResourceDictionaryInstanceBuilder.InstantiatePrope rties(IInstanceBuilderContext context, ViewNode viewNode, DocumentCompositeNode compositeNode)
at Microsoft.Expression.Platform.InstanceBuilders.DictionaryInstanceBuilder.Initialize(IInstanceBuilder Context context, ViewNode viewNode, Boolean isNewInstance)
at Microsoft.Expression.Platform.InstanceBuilders.ViewNodeManager.InitializeInstance(IInstanceBuilder builder, ViewNode viewNode, Boolean isNewInstance)"
which I cannot really explain. Maybe anyone has an idea why it doesn't work for the FirstView but it does for the MainWindow? Maybe it has to do with namespace definitions?
thanks!
