Did you forget to include the UserControl1.xaml,h into your MPBView.cpp?

Your last two picture display incorrectly, would you please upload it again.

er, I just create a sample with nothing code. And right click in NewFilter1 folder, and then create UserControl, but we can see the .cpp and .h is not the part of the xaml, so I think this is a bug. And I try create xaml in root and drag into NewFilter1 folder, it is ok.

Hi,

The issue here is that "UserControl.xaml.h" and "UserControl.xaml.cpp" are missing DependentUpon property in the project file. To work-around this issue, please edit the project file and add DependentUpon property.

    <ClInclude Include="UserControl1.xaml.h" >
         <DependentUpon>UserControl1.xaml</DependentUpon>
    </ClInclude>

    <ClCompile Include="UserControl1.xaml.cpp">
     <DependentUpon>UserControl1.xaml</DependentUpon>
     </ClCompile>

I will also follow-up to make sure this issue is fixed in next public release of VS.
