using external assemblies in XAML

Hello

I am using an external class library "Common" to use a 3d button
control in XAML.

<?Mapping XmlNamespace="Local" ClrNamespace="Ribbon" ?>


<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/avalon/2005"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/xaml/2005"
xmlns:common="clr-namespace:Common;assembly=Common"

xmlns:local="Local"
x:Class="Ribbon.Window1"
Title="HelloWorld"
Loaded="OnLoaded" WindowState="Maximized"

>
I am instantiating the 3d control from the common library as follows :

<common:Button3DSpinner Name="DarkBlueButton" Selected="OnDarkBlue"
Brush3D="{StaticResource DarkBlueBrush}" Text3D="{StaticResource
DarkBlueText}" Width="100" Height="30"/>

where Button3DSpinner is the name of the control.

However visual studio gives me error :

Error 57 Unknown tag 'Button3DSpinner' in namespace 'Common'. Note that
tag names are case sensitive.

Error 16 Type 'common:Button3DSpinner' could not be found. Are you
missing an assembly reference?


We are using Jan CTP SDK and Jan CTP runtime and Visual Studio 2005.

Not sure but i thought "xmlns:common="clr-namespace:Common;assembly=Common"
syntax only came in on the Feb CTP?

Hello

Yes... you are right!!! I have copied it from the Feb CTP example.

Is there any way to use this feature in the Jan CTP.

Thanks

Given your example you need to change the XML Namespace to:

xmlns:common="Local"

and leave the mapping as it is.
