AG_E_PARSER_BAD_PROPERTY_VALUE for StaticResource in Silverlight

Question

I'm storing all localizable strings in a ResourceDictionary (in App.xaml) and assign those via the StaticResource markup extension to TextBlock.Text, Button.Content etc.

In Beta 2 and RC0, sometimes parsing the XAML in InitializeComponent() will fail with an AG_E_PARSER_BAD_PROPERTY_VALUE on the line and position where I set the attribute value to the StaticResource.

It only happens sometimes: When restarting the app, it parses and displays without any problems. The same interface code works for days or weeks, then it happens again.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Parser, at least in beta 2, didnt like whitespace...

For instance:

Text="{StaticResource bleh}"

worked

however this:

Text = "{StaticResource bleh}"

bombed

Answer 2

I am getting the same error. The solution suggested did not work. But when I removed the Static Resource and put the hardcoded string directly, it worked. But, how do we resolve this ?!

Answer 3

Basically it means bad xaml somewhere in the code you can see the Line number and Position and see something is wrong .. I got the same error in my xaml Once corrected everything seems working
