VS2013 - Can't build WinPhone and WinRT projects

Question

Hi, I faced with the following issue. I made a Unified App project in VS2013, added PCL project there , and it was quite compilable. Then I added 1 control to PCL and 1 to Shared Project, placed it on proper page both in WinPhone and WinRT and it stopped compiling because of VS ccouldn't find my user control despite of it actually could show it on these pages in the designer. Here's the project

Link to ZIP file

I'm totally confused and don't know how to make it compilable. Please, give me an idea what to do with it.

Hi N S Accessoftek,

Easy to fix, put a "x:" before the "Name". Here is a documentation explain quite in detail why you need x: prefix.

<local2:SharedUserControl x:Name="ctlShared" / >
