Hello,
I have a test project with the file MainWindow.xaml with the content:
<Window x:Class="MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.
microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.
microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:ad="clr-namespace:AvalonDock;assembly=AvalonDock"
xmlns:diag="clr-namespace:System.Diagnostics;assembly=WindowsBase"
xmlns:view="clr-namespace:Sokoban.View;assembly=Solvers"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
<ad:DockingManager x:Name="dockingManager">
<ad:ResizingPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<view:Solvers x:Name="solvers" diag:PresentationTraceSources.TraceLevel="High" />
<!-- LINE BELOW DEMONSTRATES WORKING CODE INSTEAD OF LINE ABOVE -->
<!--<ad:DocumentPane Name="GamesDocumentPane" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<ad:DockableContent x:Name="classesContent" Title="Classes">
<TextBlock>test</TextBlock>
</ad:DockableContent>
</ad:DocumentPane>-->
</ad:ResizingPanel>
</ad:DockingManager>
</Window>
and in another project I have the file Solvers.xaml:
<ad:DocumentPane x:Class="Sokoban.View.Solvers"
xmlns="http://schemas.
microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.
microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:ad="clr-namespace:AvalonDock;assembly=AvalonDock"
xmlns:diag="clr-namespace:System.Diagnostics;assembly=WindowsBase"
Name="GamesDocumentPane" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
</ad:DocumentPane>
When I open my Visual Studio solution in
Microsoft Blend 4 then I see the error:
InvalidOperationException: DocumentPane must be put under a DockingManager!
when I open either MainWindow.xaml or Solvers.xaml. It is all right in Solvers.xaml because there really is no DockingManager but MainWindow.xaml should work, shouldn't it?
How to solve the problem?
Note: It seems to me that the files are processed separately and because the file Solvers.xaml contains the error the MainWindow.xaml file also contains the very same error.
Note 2: XAML files use AvalonDock library
Is there a way how to say that Solvers.xaml is only an extension of another file?
Thank you for any help!
