Bogus WPF / XAML errors in Visual Studio 2010
- by epalm
There are bogus errors hanging around, but at runtime everything works.
Right now, I'm getting Cannot locate resource 'img/icons/silk/arrow_refresh.png'.
I've got a simple UserControl called ImageButton (doesn't everyone?):
<UserControl x:Class="WinDispatchClientWpf.src.controls.ImageButton"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Button Name="btnButton" Click="btnButton_Click">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Name="btnImage" Stretch="None" />
<TextBlock Name="btnText" />
</StackPanel>
</Button>
</UserControl>
Which does what you'd expect:
[ContentProperty("Text")]
public partial class ImageButton : UserControl
{
public String Image { set { btnImage.Source = GuiUtil.CreateBitmapImage(value); } }
public String Text { set { btnText.Text = value; } }
public double Gap { set { btnImage.Margin = new Thickness(0, 0, value, 0); } }
public bool ToolBarStyle { set { if (value) {
btnButton.Style = (Style)FindResource(ToolBar.ButtonStyleKey); } }
}
public bool IsCancel { set { btnButton.IsCancel = value; } }
public bool IsDefault { set { btnButton.IsDefault = value; } }
public event RoutedEventHandler Click;
public ImageButton()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void btnButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (Click != null)
{
Click(sender, e);
}
}
}
Where CreateBitmapImage is the following:
public static BitmapImage CreateBitmapImage(string imagePath)
{
BitmapImage icon = new BitmapImage();
icon.BeginInit();
icon.UriSource = new Uri(String.Format("pack://application:,,,/{0}", imagePath));
icon.EndInit();
return icon;
}
I can't see the design view of any xaml file that uses an ImageButton like such:
<Window
foo="bar"
xmlns:wpfControl="clr-namespace:MyProj.src.controls">
<Grid>
<wpfControl:ImageButton ToolBarStyle="True" Gap="3"
Click="btnRefresh_Click" Text="Refresh"
Image="img/icons/silk/arrow_refresh.png" />
</Grid>
</Window>
Why is VS complaining?
