In Topic: Can't reference an assembly in Xaml

Posted 9 Apr 2012
Not sure either, the only thing i can think of is i renamed my namespace or my class name(can't remember now since i did it over the weekend while drinking...) and this might not have updated all the way. This is what the xaml looks like now
```
xmlns:myControl="clr-namespace:CalendarControl;assembly=ExtendedCalender"
```
instead of
```
xmlns:myControl="clr-namespace:CalendarControl;assembly=CalendarControl"
```
The renaming was done after i added the reference so, i removed the reference and re-added it but still didn't worked. Maybe that's my problem but anyway thanks again.

Hmm....I had no problems adding a Custom Control project(called CalendarControl) to a solution, adding a Custom Control to the project, inheriting from Calendar, building, adding a reference from the UI project to the DLL of the custom control project, adding the XMLNS, and adding the control to the form.

Now when I added the XMLNS, it gave me this when choosing it from IntelliSense...
```
xmlns:myControls="clr-namespace:CalendarControl;assembly=CalendarControl"
```
So, i picked the actual dll generated in the debug folder of my custom control instead of the one presented in the projects tab when adding a reference and that fixed my issue. Pretty dumb... but what is that dll in the projects folder for then? Thanks very much for you help

Also i thought you always had to specify the assembly name in xaml?

I guess if the assembly and namespace are the same, you only have to give the namespace. Maybe something the VS does for you.

Let me set this up and see if it happens for me also.

Thanks, let me know if you need anything else especially in the custom control project.

When the IntelliSense shows up, is your CalendarControl assembly in the list? If so, choose it directly instead of trying to type the information in. Then do a rebuild of the project.

I did that and that gets rid of one error (the one in the xmlns) but i still can't instantiate a my ExtendedCalendar class. This is what it looks like now.

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:myControl="clr-namespace:CalendarControl"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid Name="myGrid">
        <myControl:ExtendedCalendar name="calendar"></myControl:ExtendedCalendar>
    </Grid>
</Window>

The error is on line 7, it's acting like my class is not in that namespace. Below is my class

using System;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using System.ComponentModel;

namespace CalendarControl
{
    /// <summary>
    ///
    /// </summary>
    public class ExtendedCalendar : Calendar
    {
        
    }
}
