Problems with VS 2008 Silverlight

01-02-2009 6:13 PM |

When I create a new silverlight project, I recieve the errors on both Page.xaml and App.xaml:

Error    1    Name 'InitializeComponent' is not declared.    D:\Documents and Settings\***\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\SilverlightApplication5\SilverlightApplication5\App.xaml.vb    5    9    SilverlightApplication5

Error    2    Name 'InitializeComponent' is not declared.    D:\Documents and Settings\***\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\SilverlightApplication5\SilverlightApplication5\Page.xaml.vb    5    9    SilverlightApplication5

This happens right away with the automatically generated code.  If I comment out both calls to InitializeComponent() I then get this error: 

Error    1    The 'extension' attribute must be specified on the 'compiler' tag. (D:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Config\machine.config line 188)    D:\Documents and Settings\Govind\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\SilverlightApplication5\SilverlightApplication5\App.xaml    1    1    SilverlightApplication5

Help please! I have tried reinstalling Silverlight but this has not solved the problem.

InitializeComponent is required so you can not comment it out the calls to the procedure.  If you build the app do the errors go away?

 Nope.

 Is it possible that a required .NET assembly is missing?

 Nope.  I can design the XAML page and all that, but the errors come up whenever I try to build it.

Could you please put the extra of your xaml files which will have the namespace.

Thanks
