I am trying to use Blend 3.0 to edit a project that contains some WPF controls. This project already compiles and runs fine from Visual Studio 2008.
In Blend however, I'm getting mysterious errors that make no sense:
For example, I have a class that derives from Control :
namespace Company.WPFControls.SearchTextBox
{
public class SearchTextBox : Control
{
...
}
}
And I try to use it in a resource, in the same assembly, to assign a style:
<ResourceDictionary
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Company.WPFControls.SearchTextBox"
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:SearchTextBox}">
...
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
I get the following error in Blend:
The name "SearchTextBox" does not exist in the namespace "clr-namespace:Company.WPFControls.SearchTextBox".
I've tried specifying the assembly name, by adding ;assembly=Company.WPFControls but it doesn't remove the error.
Is there any way to fix this or at least figure out where the problem comes from?
