Noobie WPF namespace and converter problem
.net, converters, namespaces, wpf, xaml
Solution
After much head scratching (and a fair amount of shouting at the screen) I have identified the problem.
It turns out that identifying the namespace shouldn't have the assembly.
I was defining it like this
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Widget;assembly=Widget"
... But it should have just been like this
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Widget"
Problem
Please forgive the noob question but I'm going round in circles and need answers... Anyway, I've been looking at this article WPF: How to bind RadioButtons to an enum? but I just can't get the convertor to be recognised within the XAML file. ``` <Window x:Class="Widget.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:dg="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wpf/2008/toolkit" Title="Widget" Height="366" Width="588" WindowStyle="SingleBorderWindow"> <Window.Resources> <EnumBooleanConverter x:Key="enumBooleanConverter" /> </Window.Resources> ... ``` I have a seperate file holding the EnumBooleanConverter class but the above reference gives me the following error: Error 1 The tag 'EnumBooleanConverter' does not exist in XML namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'. I've tried adding references to the assembly and then appending the tag to the XAML but to no avail. ``` <Window x:Class="Widget.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:dg="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wpf/2008/toolkit" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Widget;assembly=Widget" Title="Widget" Height="366" Width="588" WindowStyle="SingleBorderWindow"> <Window.Resources> <local:EnumBooleanConverter x:Key="enumBooleanConverter" /> </Window.Resources> ... ``` Any help would be greatly appreciated.
