Asked by:
Windows::UI::Xaml::HorizontalAlignment versus Windows::UI::Xaml::FrameworkAlignment::HorizontalAlignment

Question
-
Since HorizontalAlignment is in fact a member of Windows::UI::Xaml to which I have a using statement, I'm puzzled why
HorizontalAlignment::Center produces the following compiler error:
blankpage.xaml.cpp(43): error C2039: 'Center' : is not a member of 'Windows::UI::Xaml::FrameworkElement::HorizontalAlignment'
using namespace Windows::UI::Xaml; void BlankPage::OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs^ e) { TextBlock^ dynTextBlock = ref new TextBlock(); dynTextBlock->Text= "dynTextBlock created dynamically"; dynTextBlock->HorizontalAlignment= Windows::UI::Xaml::HorizontalAlignment::Center; dynTextBlock->HorizontalAlignment= HorizontalAlignment::Center; myGrid->Children->Append( dynTextBlock ); }
// Intellisense displays Windows::UI::Xaml::HorizontalAlignment and Windows::UI::Xaml::FrameworkAlignment::HorizontalAlignment
// for dynTextBlock->Horizontal alignment

Hello,
I think the complier treat HorizontalAlignment as the FrameworkElement.HorizontalAlignment property
So that you need to add the whole path of it.
Best regards,

I can work around it, but I still don't understand WHY the compiler trys to resolve HorizontalAlignment::Center
as
Windows::UI::Xaml::FrameworkElement::HorizontalAlignment
instead of
Windows::UI::Xaml::HorizontalAlignment::Center
when there is a
using namespace Windows::UI::Xaml;
present.

The behavior you were expecting, exists when using C#.
I'm also seeing the unexpected behavior you reported applies to all the enum types I've tried so far in the Windows::UI::XAML namespace.
Could you please file a Visual Studio bug on this issue please? Let me know if you do not, so I can create one on your behalf. VS 20111 Bug form

We can skip the bug report because I just applied the latest updates to VS11 Beta:
Microsoft Visual Studio 11
Version 11.0.50323.1 QRELB
Microsoft Visual C++ 11 Beta 04167-115-2600346-58856and now the below line compile correctly and Intellisense is aware too.
dynTextBlock->TextAlignment= TextAlignment::Right;

I filled out a bug report because the problem may have regressed in the release candidate VS
I get the compiler error:
error C2039: 'Center' : is not a member of 'Windows::UI::Xaml::FrameworkElement::HorizontalAlignment'
on
MyStackPanel->HorizontalAlignment= HorizontalAlignment::Center;
