ModuleTypeLoaderNotFoundException There is currently no moduleTypeLoader in the ModuleManager that can retrieve the specified module. ..? Did anyone come across this Exception?

Question

I'm trying to load a catalog from XAML in WPF.  I've done this successfully in Silverlight (mainly because the example's in the ref docs were for Silverlight) however when I try to do the equivalent in WPF I get the following error when the Boostrapper trys to load a module from the XAML derived catalog:

ModuleTypeLoaderNotFoundException
There is currently no moduleTypeLoader in the ModuleManager that can retrieve the specified module.

 

Here's what I have for the catalog (Catalog.xaml):  

<Modularity:ModuleCatalog 
               xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
               xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
                xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
               xmlns:Modularity="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Practices.Composite.Modularity;assembly=Microsoft.Practices.Composite">

    <Modularity:ModuleInfo 
        Ref="Modules/MyAssembly.dll"
        ModuleName="ShellModule" 
        ModuleType="MyNamespace.MyModule, MyNamespace" />

</Modularity:ModuleCatalog>

It's loading OK from here (in the Bootstrapper):

 

        protected override IModuleCatalog GetModuleCatalog()
        {
            var uri = new Uri("/Catalogs/Catalog.xaml", UriKind.Relative);
            var catalog = ModuleCatalog.CreateFromXaml(uri);
            return catalog;
        }

A breakpoint shows that the catalog is actually loaded, and contains one item.  The exception is thrown from within 

    public partial class App : Application

    {

        protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)

        {

            new Bootstrapper().Run(); // Exception thrown from here.

        }

    }

 

 

Can anyone help me with this issue? i have tried hard but could not find any solution? Please let me know how to go about this problem?

Thanks

Hi, Check if modules are built into same directory as Shell project.
