Question

I am trying to put a view in my main silverlight webpage by importing the namespace.

xmlns:Award="clr-namespace:OndernemersAward.Views"

Now I add the following to my website but it tells me it could not be found, but it is here, even the auto completion tells me that it’s an option! See screenshot.

<Award:AdminLogin x:Name="Test"></Award:AdminLogin>

This is the XAML code for the AdminLogin page:

<UserControl x:Class="OndernemersAward.Views.AdminLogin"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    mc:Ignorable="d">


    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <Rectangle HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" 
          Opacity="0.765" Fill="#FF8A8A8A"/>
        <Border CornerRadius="30" Background="#FF5C7590" Width="600" Height="250">
            <Button Content="Close" Width="100" Height="50" Name="btnClose"
                         Click="btnClose_Click" />
        </Border>
    </Grid>

</UserControl>

I really have no idea what is causing this and it’s driving me loopy! 😛

I hope somebody can help me, thanks.

Build your project. XAML cannot see classes/namespaces until you build them
