mapping Namespace in XAML not working
c#, wpf, wpf-controls, wpfdatagrid, xaml
Solution
The solution is after adding a separate class to my project as myConverter under BlinkApplication.Converters namespace, Build the project & this adds the class into the project at the correct namespace for the xaml interpreter to find it.
Then in MainWindow.xaml, add the converter namespace at the top as
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:BlinkApplication.Converters"
Notice that it matches the namespace as declared in the Converters.cs file, that associates the "local" tag with the BlinkApplication.Converters namespace.
After it has been declared, I can use it in window or any other control resources.
Problem
I have created a datagrid which displays a Table of records populating from a Database & would like to animate the cells of the datagrid when certain condition is met. For this I created a converter class named BlinkConverter that inherits IValueConverter. to put this converter into action, I have mapped the project namespace onto the xaml editor as ``` xmlns:local="clr-namespace:BlinkApplication" ``` Note : BlinkApplication is the name of my Project After adding this, I am trying to create an instance of my BlinkConvertor class for Binding with Windows.Resources collection as ``` <Window.Resources> <local:BlinkConverter x:key="Blink"></local:BlinkConverter> </Window.Resources> ``` here my Intellisense is not detecting the class BlinkCoverter after I type "local: " , even if I try to type, I have an error stating "The type local:BlinkConverter was not found. Verify that you are missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built." Even though I have added the entire project under the xmlns in my xaml editor . What is wrong here ? have I missed any reference ? Do I have to add the Converter class as a part of the MainWindow.xaml.cs class or add a new class naming Converter and then mapping it to the MainWindow.xaml.cs class ? Because on the first try, I added the as a part of Mainwindow.xaml.cs on the first try, then my Intellisense didn't detect, but when I added a separate class as Converter.cs , my Intellisense detects but I dont know the way to map to my Mainwindow.xaml.cs class :( Converter.cs ``` public class Converter : IValueConverter { public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { string cellvalue = value.ToString(); return cellvalue = ("Pass"); } public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) { return false; } ``` MainWindow.xaml.cs ``` namespace BlinkApplication { public partial class MainWindow : Window { SqlConnection cn; SqlDataAdapter da; DataSet ds; public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); DataContext = this; cn = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=CZC0239ZWZ\SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog =Student; Integrated Security=true"); cn.Open(); } private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { da = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from dbo.View_StudentResults",cn); ds = new DataSet(); da.Fill(ds); dataGrid1.ItemsSource=ds.Tables[0].DefaultView; } } } ```
