Cannot build sl3 accordion

Question

 

Hi,

Please suggest how to use accordions from sl3 tools. I did below: 

 <UserControl x:Class="AccordionApp.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:layoutToolkit="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Layout.Toolkit">
        <Grid Background="White">           
            <layoutToolkit:Accordion x:Name="acc">
                <layoutToolkit:AccordionItem Header="First Accordion"/>
                <layoutToolkit:AccordionItem Header="Second Accordion"/>
            </layoutToolkit:Accordion>         
        </Grid>    
</UserControl>

I got below error:
Error    1    Predefined type 'System.Object' is not defined or imported    AccordionApp

I checked the accordion sample and added below reference, i do not understand why i need this?
xmlns:system="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

Then i get below error:

Error    1    The tag 'AccordionItem' does not exist in XML namespace 'clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Layout.Toolkit'.    ..\\AccordionApp\AccordionApp\MainPage.xaml    10    18    AccordionApp
Error    2    The tag 'AccordionItem' does not exist in XML namespace 'clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Layout.Toolkit'.    ..\\AccordionApp\AccordionApp\MainPage.xaml    11    18    AccordionApp

Please help.

Hi Silidev,

this should just work, and I'm not seeing anything done incorrectly.

Could you maybe zip up the solution and send it to me at [removed]. I will take a look.

Thank you!

 Hi,

In order to use controls from System.Windows.Controls.Layout.Toolkit you need to reference System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit and System.Windows.Controls.

The full list of Control-->Assemblies dependencies is called out here:
http://silverlight.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Silverlight%20Toolkit%20March%202009%20change%20list#assemblies

Control \ Silverlight Version	Silverlight 2 Required Assemblies	Silverlight 3 Required Assemblies
Accordion	System.Windows.Controls.Layout.Toolkit.dll & System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit.dll & System.Windows.Controls.dll	System.Windows.Controls.Layout.Toolkit.dll & System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit.dll & System.Windows.Controls.dll

You're probably missing one of these references.

Sincerely,

 

Answer 4

I have looked at the app, and indeed, you need a reference to System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit.

I hope that helps!

 

Answer 5

 Perfect thanks for your quick responses. It works now by adding the missing reference.
