Question

I am upgrading an application from Windows Phone 7.1 to Windows Phone 8. every instance of the PanaromaItem and Pivot control gives me this error:

The type ‘Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Pivot’ exists in both ‘d:\Lib\Microsoft.Phone.Controls.dll’ and ‘c:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\WindowsPhone\v8.0\Microsoft.Phone.dll’

The xmlns reads:

    xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls"

What should that be in order for me to get rid of the reference to Microsoft.Phone.Controls.dll?

Answer 1

Looks like the second in the known upgrade issues listed @
