Trying to run WPF samples

Question

Trying the following windows SDK samples:

BlackJack

Calculator

I keep getting errors on the xaml:

these error were taken from the Calculator build:

MyApp.xaml(1,14): error MC4629: 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/xaml/2005' is not a recognized namespace. Line 1, position 14.

Window1.xaml(1,9): error MC4629: 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/xaml/2005' is not a recognized namespace. Line 1, position 9.

 

Please help,

Thanks,

Janiv Ratson.

 

Answer 1

Check the ReleaseNotes.htm file that came with Windows SDK. In section 6.6 it lists the samples that don't compile due to changes in the last CTP of WinFX and in section 6.6.12 is presented exactly this error:

"

6.6.12  Many Windows Presentation Foundation samples do not build

A recent change to the schema location in Windows Presentation Foundation causes many samples to not build. The changes are the following:

1. old = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/avalon/2005"

    new= "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

2. old = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/xaml/2005"

    new = http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
