Hi,

when I use XamlReader.Load() with an invalid XAML string, the resulting XAMLParseException is not caught although beeing in a try-catch-block:

 try
 {
        UIElement xamlCode = XamlReader.Load(XamlText) as UIElement;
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
        ErrorText = ex.Message;
 }

The code is called from the Tick-Event of a DispatcherTimer, but also in Events like MouseLeftButtonDown the exception is not caught resulting in a break in the Line where I call .Load().

Does anyone know how to catch this Exception and resume normal programm activity?

Thanks, Andrej
