WPF - How to properly reference a class from XAML
- by Andy T
OK, this is a super super noob question, one that I'm almost embarrassed to ask...
I want to reference a class in my XAML file. It's a DataTemplateSelector for selecting the right edit template for a DataGrid column.
Anyway, I've written the class into my code behind, added the local namespace to the top of top of the XAML, but when I try to reference the class from the XAML, it tells me the class does not exist in the local namespace. I must be missing something really really simple but I just can't understand it...
Here's my code.
XAML:
<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:tk="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wpf/2008/toolkit"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:CustomFields"
xmlns:col="clr-namespace:System.Collections;assembly=mscorlib"
xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
x:Class="CustomFields.MainWindow"
x:Name="Window"
Title="Define Custom Fields"
Width="425" Height="400" MinWidth="425" MinHeight="400">
<Window.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<local:RangeValuesEditTemplateSelector>
blah blah blah...
</local:RangeValuesEditTemplateSelector>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Window.Resources>
C#:
namespace CustomFields
{
///
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
///
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
// Insert code required on object creation below this point.
}
}
public class RangeValuesEditTemplateSelector : DataTemplateSelector
{
public RangeValuesEditTemplateSelector(){
MessageBox.Show("hello");
}
}
}
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I thought this should be simple as 1-2-3...
Thanks!
