Create & use a WPF page with C++/CLR - wpf

Question

I want to use C++/CLR to create a UI for my app. I need C++/CLR because I deal with a lot of native win32 C++ code. So I tried to make my app with the following steps, but they don't work:
Make an empty project
Unicode charset and enable /clr
Add refrences to PresentationCore, PresentationFramework, System, and WindowsBase
Add the App.xaml, App.xaml.h, MainWindow.xaml, MainWindow.xaml.h
Add the InitalizeComponent code to MainWindow.xaml.h (that
s where i'm having trouble.)
This is my mainwindow.xaml.h code
#pragma once
using namespace System::Windows;
using namespace System;
namespace Project2
{
public ref class MainWindow : Window
{
public:
MainWindow()
{
System::Uri ^resourceLocater = gcnew System::Uri("component\MainWindow.xaml", System::UriKind::Relative);
#line 1 "..\..\MainWindow.xaml"
System::Windows::Application::LoadComponent(this, resourceLocater);
}
};
}
My entry point code:
#include <Windows.h>
#include "App.xaml.h"
#include "MainWindow.xaml.h"
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Windows;
[STAThreadAttribute]
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE a, HINSTANCE b, LPSTR c, int d)
{
auto win = gcnew Project2::MainWindow();
auto app = gcnew Project2::App();
app->Run(win);
return 0;
}
And here's my app.xaml.h code:
#pragma once
using namespace System::Windows;
namespace Project2
{
public ref class App : Application
{
public:
};
}
The MainWindow.xaml and App.xaml all contain valid markup.
I tried chaning the values for the System::Uri resoucelocator but nothings chaning. I just get System.IO.IOException: The mainwindow.xaml was not found
Any ideas?
