RE: Namespace error | clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls"

Question

Hello,

     Im currently trying to write a Silverlight app for Windows 7 Mobile using

• Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone
• Expression Blend 4 Beta
• Expression Design 3 Trial

    Im tryin to move XAML generated (working code) from Visual Studio to Blend but getting a namespace error:

    Namespace: Declared in inside <Application> no error...

    xmlns:mpc="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls"

    Code:

    <Style x:Key="PhoneListBoxItemLayout" TargetType="mpc:ListViewItem">

    Error:

    The name "ListViewItem" does not exist in the namespace "clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls"

Thank you

Answer 1

Are you missing an assembly reference in your project in Blend?

Answer 2

That should have been my first action but I thought was already referenced seeming as there wasnt a red line under the namespace.

Thanks
