I'm defining an application resource in my app that stores my ViewModels with a navigation element to navigate pages. This is working fine in the xaml editor of visual studio since all the data bindings are working there. However when I try to run the application in debugger it trows an Exception with the message Cannot find source with the name ViewModelLocator. Does anyone know what is going wrong?
I have a local resource defined in my App.xaml like this:
<Application.Resources>
<viewmodel:ViewModelLocator x:Key="ViewModelLocator"/>
</Application.Resources>
Which i try to use like this:
<Page x:Class="QardPrint.PageEmployeesList"
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"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:QardPrint"
xmlns:viewmodel="clr-namespace:QardPrint.ViewModel"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300"
Title="PageEmployeesList"
DataContext="{Binding EmployeesListViewModel, Source={StaticResource ViewModelLocator}}">
My ViewModelLocator class looks like this
public class ViewModelLocator
{
public EmployeesListViewModel EmployeesListViewModel => new EmployeesListViewModel(App.Navigation);
}
Try to use ResourceDictionary:
App.xaml:
<Application xmlns:viewmodel="clr-namespace:QardPrint.ViewModel">
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<viewmodel:ViewModelLocator x:Key="Locator" />
QardPrint.PageEmployeesLis.Xaml:
<Page x:Class="QardPrint.PageEmployeesList"
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"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:QardPrint"
xmlns:viewmodel="clr-namespace:QardPrint.ViewModel"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300"
Title="PageEmployeesList"
DataContext="{Binding EmployeesListViewModel, Source={StaticResource Locator}}">
I Found the problem. It was in the App.xaml I deleted the startup parameter. After adding it again the problem was solved.
I did this because I made another window in the startup function of app.cs. But this is probably bad design anyway so going to figure out how to do it better.

Hello i have this Viw in XAML
<local:JedenViewBase x:Class="Firma.View.FakturaView"
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"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Firma.View"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="450" d:DesignWidth="800">
<UserControl.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary Source="MainWindowResource.xaml" />
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid>
.....
</Grid>
</local:JedenViewBase>
And that is class this view
namespace Firma.View
{
public partial class FakturaView : JedenViewBase
{
public FakturaView()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
}
And that is JedenViewBase class
namespace Firma.View
{
public class JedenViewBase : UserControl
{
static JedenViewBase()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(JedenViewBase), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(JedenViewBase)));
}
}
}
I have problem because view in XAML dont display, i dont know why? JedenViewBase class inherits from UserControl. When i UserControl in view everything works. What i should do?
<UserControl x:Class="Firma.View.FakturaView"
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"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Firma.View"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="450" d:DesignWidth="800">
<UserControl.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary Source="MainWindowResource.xaml" />
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid>
...
</Grid>
</UserControl>
View FakutraView when i use UserControl
I try rebuild app etc. and i still have problem
You've created a custom control.
That's unlikely to be a good idea and this should probably just be a user control.
The reason you get no view is this.
static JedenViewBase()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(JedenViewBase), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(JedenViewBase)));
}
I recommend you remove that. Change
<local:JedenViewBase
To user control.
Make this just a user control.
Alternatively. Read up on custom controls. Put your ui definition in generic xaml.
I also wonder why this has it's own resources. They will be in memory for each instance. If whatever is in that resource dictionary is unique to this control maybe that's not a bad idea. in which case the naming seems strange.
I run a page-style application
<Page x:Class="WpfApp1.Page1"
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"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApp1"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="450" d:DesignWidth="800"
Title="Page1">
<Page.Resources>
......
</Page>
The error message is as follows:
System.IO.IOException: 'Cannot locate resource 'mainwindow.xaml'.'
Any idea what's going on?
Edit startupUri in App.xaml file.
In your case you mentioned you're running a page style application, so i assume "WpfApp1.Page1" is the startup page, so StartupUri="WpfApp1/Page1.xaml"
You probably moved the page into a folder so maybe you created a folder called Views for example and you moved that page into it. So you go to the App.xaml and located the StartupUri and in the startup you put "/Views/Page1.xaml" so that should all be in one line like:
StartupUri="/Views/Page1.xaml"
having some troubles with UserControl. I cannot get rid of "Content is set more than once error"
From what I've read, the common cause is that .. well, content is set more than once. For example having more than one child or setting content via Content=".." and then specifying another content between the tags.
However, this is UserControl generated by VisualStudio and I made no changes to the xaml.
<UserControl x:Class="TMEGadget.View.Toolbox"
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"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300">
<Grid>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Got any tips?
P.S: Can anyone tell me why, when I try to type "Hey,\n\nSome text...", the "Hey,\n\n" is deleted?
Edit: Restarting VS fixed the problem , thanks #Bolu
I've properly changed the namespaces of my xaml page, but somehow VS not getting the namespace. I tried to do it in the way others have suggested, still getting this error,
"The name "LayoutAwarePage" does not exist in the namespace "using:Inventory.Common".
<common:LayoutAwarePage
x:Name="pageRoot"
x:Class="Inventory.MainPage"
DataContext="{Binding DefaultViewModel, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:Inventory"
xmlns:common="using:Inventory.Common"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d">
My Main page extends from LayoutAwarePage, this xaml is inside the Common Folder. And the project name is Inventory.
I'm writing a Windows 8 Store application and within that I've designed my own user control.
Here is the code for my usercontrol (This is a dummy control but the problem exists with this):
<UserControl
x:Class="Windows8StoreTest.TestUserControl"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:Windows8StoreTest"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Width="70"
Height="40">
<StackPanel>
<Button Content="Hello" Foreground="Pink" BorderBrush="Pink"/>
</StackPanel>
</UserControl>
I've dropped the user control onto my page and give it a name:
<Page
x:Class="Windows8StoreTest.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:Windows8StoreTest"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<local:TestUserControl Name="testControl"/>
</Grid>
</Page>
However, when I go to the code behind I can't access the control by that name. It doesn't seem to exist! What is weird is that the control doesn't exists within InitializeComponent() method for the MainPage class which will be why it does exist.
What am I missing from my user control?
I'm using Windows 8 Store, XAML, c#.
Thanks in advance
Try to use this:
<local:TestUserControl x:Name="testControl"/>
Should work...
hello i don't know what is wrong but it should work.i have just made a sample example of it..i am putting it here hope you have done the same way.
<Page
x:Class="App12.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:App12"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<local:MyUserControl1 x:Name="hellousercontrol" />
</Grid>
in my mainpage.cs.. i have just use it like this..
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
hellousercontrol.Height = 100;
}
one more this..have build your solution ?
I had the same issue in c++ environment. I observed, I didn't had default constructor in my class, as soon as I added the default constructor, I could use the defined UserControl in my project through XAML file. However without default constructor I was able to use it from within c++ code.
