Hey,

How do you define your xmlns:Search namespace? Probably you are using just the namespace, without the assembly name:

xmlns:Search='clr-namespace:MyNamespace;MyAssembly'

Best regards,

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

Is your converter class public?

Putting ValueConverter reference in ResourceDictionary (Fails)

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!
