how to self reference a project

Question

Hello

I have a project that requires a reference to itself to bond some code in vb.net with some other code written in xaml.




The problem that I am facing is that in the xaml code i have to put a reference to the assembly (project name MyDrawing") something like this



<Controls:Shuttle x:Class="MyFile" x:Name="base"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Width="144" Height="146"
    xmlns:Controls="clr-namespace:MyDrawing;assembly=" >
 
   ...
</Controls:Shuttle>



Public Class Shuttle
    Inherits Grid
...

End class






 xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyDrawing;assembly=MyDrawing"


where mydrawing is the name of the project/solution.


The problem is that I can not compile the application because there is not a reference (in the references) to the application itself
but i can not add a reference to the application because i can not compile the application. Is a catch 22

how can I solve the problems?


All happened because an antivirus deleted the assembly of the application and now i find myself with this annoying problem





i get the following error

Error    23    The tag 'Shuttle' does not exist in XML namespace 'clr-namespace:MyDrawing'.

You have to omit the assembly in the definition of the namespace:

<Controls:Shuttle x:Class="MyFile" x:Name="base"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Width="144" Height="146"
    xmlns:Controls="clr-namespace:MyDrawing;" >
