Type reference cannot find public type named

c#, wpf, xaml

Solution

If the type resides in the same assembly as the XAML you are modifying, omit the assembly segment of the clr-namespace when you import the namespace.

DO

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:NamespaceContainingSignClass"

DO NOT

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:NamespaceContainingSignClass;assembly=AssemblyContainingSignClassAndXAML"

Problem

I am getting error like "Type reference cannot find public type named 'Sign'" in xaml. how can i resolve it. the Sign class is in the same assembly. ``` <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:Sign}"> <Expander Padding="4" IsExpanded="{Binding RelativeSource={ RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={ x:Type ListBoxItem}}, Path=IsSelected}"> <Expander.Header> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" ... /> </Expander.Header> <DockPanel LastChildFill="True"> <Border DockPanel.Dock="Left" CornerRadius="16" BorderBrush="WhiteSmoke" Background="AliceBlue" BorderThickness="5" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"> <Image Source="{Binding Icon}" Width="90" Height="90" Stretch="Fill" /> </Border> ... </DockPanel> </Expander> ```
