I have problem with adding resources to my wp7 project.
I have added
<resources:LocalizedStrings x:Key="LocalizedStrings"/>
and after running application I recieve such XamlParseException: Unknown parser error: Scanner 2147500037.
Here is code.
<Application
x:Class="MyProject.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:phone="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone"
xmlns:shell="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Shell;assembly=Microsoft.Phone"
xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:MyProject.ViewModels;assembly=MyProject.ViewModels"
xmlns:resources="clr-namespace:MyProject.Resources;assembly=MyProject.Resources">
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<resources:LocalizedStrings x:Key="LocalizedStrings"/>
<vm:ViewModelLocator x:Key="Locator"/>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="styles/globalstyles.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="styles/UserStyles.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="styles/DialogStyles.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
<Application.ApplicationLifetimeObjects>
<shell:PhoneApplicationService
Launching="Application_Launching" Closing="Application_Closing"
Activated="Application_Activated" Deactivated="Application_Deactivated"/>
</Application.ApplicationLifetimeObjects></Application>
Resolve this issue by creating project MyProject.LocalizedResources instead of MyProject.Resources
xmlns:resources="clr-namespace:MyProject.LocalizedResources;assembly=MyProject.LocalizedResources"
This works well now.
Single word Resources in project name leads to the error! :(

My XAML designer keep screaming "Cannot locate resource xxx.xaml". I have tried both pack application and absolute path URI formats
"pack://application:,,,/ReferencedAssembly;component/Subfolder/ResourceFile.xaml"
"pack://application:,,,/Subfolder/ContentFile.xaml"
"/AssemblyName;component/FilePath.xaml"
The project file structure (can't post picture, not enough rep):
root/App.xaml
root/MainWindow.xaml
root/Res
root/Res/PalleteBlue.xaml
root/UserControl
root/UserControl/NavigationDrawer.xaml
root/UserControl/Res
root/UserControl/Res/NavigationDrawerResource.xaml
NavigationDrawer.xaml use NavigationDrawerResource.xaml
MainWindow.xaml have instance of NavigationDrawer.xaml
XAML designer on NavigationDrawer has no issues, but on MainWindow it keep telling Cannot locate resource usercontrol/res/navigationdrawerresource.xaml
Here is resource declaration in NavigationDrawer.xaml
<UserControl.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/UserControl/Res/NavigationDrawerResource.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Res/PalleteBlue.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</UserControl.Resources>
And here is how MainWindow.xaml add instance of NavigationDrawer
xmlns:uc="clr-namespace:InfiniteLite.View.UserControl"
<Grid>
<uc:NavigationDrawer></uc:NavigationDrawer>
</Grid>
This yields the Cannot locate resource.... error on <uc:NavigationDrawer> tag but the project can debug just fine
Am getting the below error when i tried to refer the resource dictionary my app.xaml file
<Application x:Class="DesignerPoc.App"

<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Dashboard.Designer.WPF;Connection/Views/test.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
Error
An Error occurred while finding the resource dictionary "pack://application:,,,/Dashboard.Designer.WPF;Connection/Views/test.xaml"

How to resolve this.??
Your Resource File Pack URI is wrong.
It should look like this, including the component part:
pack://application:,,,/Dashboard.Designer.WPF;component/Connection/Views/test.xaml
I just got VS2013 and opened my VS2010 project. However now I cannot see any of xaml designs. The problem is the Styles are not being applied:
<UserControl.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="/Themes/Colors.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
Gives me the error:
Error 1 An error occurred while finding the resource dictionary "/Themes/Colors.xaml".
This works fine in VS2010. The build option is set to Page. All target frameworks are set to .NET 4.
The directory structure is this:
Host\Themes\Colors.xaml
Plugins\EqPlugin\Source\ProblemFile.xaml
The themes are defined in the VEParameters project and have this declared:
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:EQPlugin;assembly=VEParameterTool">
The file where the error occurs is in the EqPlugIn directory and has this declared:
<UserControl x:Class="EQPlugin.EQControl"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:l="clr-namespace:EQPlugin"
xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
xmlns:oxy="http://oxyplot.codeplex.com"
mc:Ignorable="d">
I have tried changing the paths to relative paths but that doesn't work, i have removed and re-added the assemblies, i have restarted etc, all projects are build for the same framework. I don't know what else to try.
Try the below one, Provied the assembly name, even if it is in the same assembly
Source="pack://application:,,,/<assemblyName>;component/Themes/Colors.xaml"

Hi you also need to specify the Assembly along with namespace when you use assembly other than current assembly
xmlns:SiriusMicrotech="clrnamespace:SiriusMicrotech.core.UI;assembly=AssemblyName....."
I hope this will help.
I have a library, CommonLibraryWpfThemes, with several Resource Dictionary XAML files in it. My Themes/Generic.xml file contains a ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries declaration that merges all the other files together.
Generic.xaml
<ResourceDictionary
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary
Source="/CommonLibraryWpfThemes;component/ResourceDictionaries/BrushDictionary.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary
Source="/CommonLibraryWpfThemes;component/ResourceDictionaries/TextBlockDictionary.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary
Source="/CommonLibraryWpfThemes;component/ResourceDictionaries/LabelDictionary.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary
Source="/CommonLibraryWpfThemes;component/ResourceDictionaries/ButtonDictionary.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary
Source="/CommonLibraryWpfThemes;component/ResourceDictionaries/WindowDictionary.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
In my application project, I have a reference to CommonLibraryWpfThemes, and I explicitly reference Generic.xml in my App.xaml file.
App.xaml -- FAILS
<Application
x:Class="MyApp.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary
Source="/CommonLibraryWpfThemes;component/Themes/Generic.xaml" />
</Application.Resources>
</Application>
This doesn't work. I get the following error when I run my app:
System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException occurred
Message="Cannot find resource named '{_fadedOrangeBrush}'. Resource names are case sensitive. Error at object 'System.Windows.Setter' in markup file 'CommonLibraryWpfThemes;component/ResourceDictionaries/WindowDictionary.xaml' Line 18 Position 13."
Source="PresentationFramework"
LineNumber=18
LinePosition=13
If I place the contents of Generic.xaml into App.xaml directly, everything works fine:
App.xaml -- SUCCEEDS
<Application
x:Class="MyApp.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

<Application.Resources>

<ResourceDictionary

<ResourceDictionary

<ResourceDictionary

<ResourceDictionary
Source="/CommonLibraryWpfThemes;component/ResourceDictionaries/WindowDictionary.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
</Application>
Maybe I'm going about this in the wrong way. My goal is to make it easy to reference all my theme resources from multiple applications without having to list out all the individual files. Is there a recommended way to do this? (Note: I'm not trying to switch between multiple themes--I just have one theme.)
As a bonus, it would be nice if someone could tell me how to reference resources in an external library without breaking the designer in Visual Studio.
Thanks.
EDIT:
I tried wrapping the ResourceDictionary in a ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionary element, but that also didn't work (I get the same error):
<Application
x:Class="MyApp.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary
Source="/CommonLibraryWpfThemes;component/Themes/Generic.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
</Application>
Answered a similar question here earlier, see Adding a Merged Dictionary to a Merged Dictionary question.
This is an optimization bug, see Microsoft Connect / DefaultStyleKey style not found in inner MergedDictionaries:
On the creation of every object in
XAML, if a default style is present
(i.e. style w/ a key of Type) that
style should be applied. As you can
imagine there are several performance
optimizations to make that (implied)
lookup a light weight as possible. One
of them is that we don’t look inside
Resource Dictionaries unless they are
flagged as “containing default
Styles”. There is a bug: if all your
default styles are nested in merged
dictionaries three levels deep (or
deeper) the top dictionary does not
get flagged so the search skips it.
The work around is to put a default
Style to something, anything, in the
root Dictionary.
So adding a dummy style to the root dictionary fixes this. Example
<Application x:Class="MyApp.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary
Source="/CommonLibraryWpfThemes;component/Themes/Generic.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<!-- Dummy Style, anything you won't use goes -->
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Rectangle}" />
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
</Application>
Check your constructor in App.xaml.cs calls InitializeComponent() - this is what merges the resource dictionaries...
You should not have to reference generic.xaml at all, it has built-in support. This however means that it provides default styling, which you do not set explicitly. Explicitly set styles/templates need to be attainable from explicitly referenced res dictionaries.
(EDIT for clarity)
One exception to this is the App.xaml, where defined resources become accessible by the whole app, without requiring to reference any specific resource dictionary. The resource itself, would have to be accessible by name.
The reason why this fails
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary
Source="/CommonLibraryWpfThemes;component/Themes/Generic.xaml" />
</Application.Resources>
is, I think, because you didn't wrap it in a MergedDictionary wrapper, adding it to merged dictionaries. Adding directly to resources works only for resources you declare locally, e.g. the styles, etc. themselves.
However, as I said before, you shouldn't have to merge generic.xaml anywhere, maybe you should just refactor brushes and other resources used outside styles, and merge only those resources in app.xaml.
Also note that styles do not have to be in generic.xaml to have "default style" behaviour - if a style with key equal to the type of the element is accessible to it (globally, or in local resources), then it will use the style as a default style. The generic.xaml is just a convenience.
Check this answer.
For other custom brushes, etc, you need to reference those resources explicitly.
You should also check the contents of the WindowDictionary.xaml, this error has a certain smell about it.
I was getting this error in my unit tests and Chris' answer from above gave me the clue I needed. Basically on my first tested method, I put:
MyApplication.App app = new MyApplication.App();
app.InitializeComponent();
And suddenly it could find my template for my pages. Note: this does mean that you have to check to see if an instance of your App already exists if you are unit testing your App.cs as well.
My solution is here, click Workarounds.
