Referenced customcontrol assembly not found in XAML

10-22-2008 9:17 AM |

I have referenced a silverlight class library in a silverlight application. If I include the xmlns attribute
(xmlns:vslider="clr-namespace:VideoSliderControl;assembly=VideoSliderControl") and add the customcontrol (VideoSlider in VideoSliderControl namespace) to my Page.xaml, Visual Studio underlines xmlns:... and vslider:VideoSlider with a blue line and displays the error:

Assembly 'VideoSliderControl' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference. Also, verify that your project and all referenced assemblies have been built.
and
The type 'vslider:VideoSlider' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built.

Also the designer doesn't display the page. If I open the project in Blend everthing displays fine. I can build the project just fine and it runs ok.

Hi,

You have to add reference of that assembly in your project...

Yes, I added the reference to my project...
I tested the project on another PC and it works correctly on that PC.

I get this error in XAML view...
And it is working (designer and XAML view) on another PC with Visual Studio 2008 installed.
