Putting ValueConverter reference in ResourceDictionary (Fails)

03-25-2009 1:46 PM |

 I have a ValueConvter, which works find when referenced within the XAML within an actual control.  Eg:

        <Grid.Resources>
            <Search:IsReadIconConverter x:Key="isReadIconConverter" />
            <DataTemplate x:Key="IsReadCell">
                <Image Source="{Binding Converter={StaticResource isReadIconConverter}}" Stretch="None" />
            </DataTemplate>
        </Grid.Resources>

 
However, if I try and factor this out into a resource dictionary I get an 'AG_E_PARSER_BAD_TYPE' error, due to the
 

<Search:IsReadIconConverter x:Key="isReadIconConverter" />

 ...just sitting in the ResourceDictionary.  Is there something different I need to do to put a ValueConverter class reference of this kind in a ResourceDictionary?

Thanks!

Is your converter class public?

Yes, it is public - and it's working in the context of the control. I wonder if it's a bug in the new MergedDictionaries code within SL3. Thanks. P
