Locbaml /generate gives error "Type reference cannot find public type named '...'"

Question

Hi,

I'm using Locbaml to generate localization files in my WPF application.

Yesterday, I've upgraded my solutions from VS2008 to VS2010, and since then Locbaml throws an error in two of my assemblies saying

"Type reference cannot find public type named 'String'." in one assembly and

"Type reference cannot find public type named 'Int32'." in the second assembly.

I indeed use those types in my xaml and they all look the same:

xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
DataType="{x:Type sys:Int32}"
DataType="{x:Type sys:String}"

That's even not some custom type I could've make something wrong with.

Any ideas of how this can be fixed, or what is causing this?

Many thanks,

EDIT: I've tried to google this and all I could find is a possible problem with assembly names that have whitespaces in it (http://siderite.blogspot.com/2009/06/vs2008-wpf-designer-throws-error-type.html) - this is not my case.

Also, I should specify that the solution compiles.

Still haven't figured out what is causing this, but fortunately I could spare the "DataType=..", and removing them solved the problem.
