Local WPF C# Programming - wpf

Question

i have a project on C# WPF, im just following the instruction and copying and pasting the code from the instruction. Im on the last part but unfortunately i received error in this part:
<local:SearchPanel Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1"
Visibility="{Binding ElementName=MyMovieDatabaseWindow, Path=IsSearchPaneVisible, Converter={StaticResource VisibilityConverter}}"/>
The errors are:
Error 1 ''local' is an undeclared prefix. Line 138, position 10.' XML is not valid. C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\Desktop\WPF Training Lab 1\WPF Training Lab 1\WPF Training Lab 1\MainWindow.xaml 138 10 WPF Training Lab 1
Error 2 The type 'local:SearchPanel' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built. C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Desktop\WPF Training Lab 1\WPF Training Lab 1\WPF Training Lab 1\MainWindow.xaml 138 10 WPF Training Lab 1

How can i fix it? Thanks!

Answer 1

You are missing an "xmlns:local" attribute at the top of your XAML file. This should look something like:
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:YourAppNamespace"
Where YourAppNamespace is the namespace that contains the SearchPanel class.
