WPF - Doesn't find all usercontrols in other assembly in XAML

Question

I have this other assembly which has a folder with 10 UserControls and I reference the assembly in XAML so I can use them.

xmlns:usercontrols="clr-namespace:Company.Project.OtherAssembly.UserControls;assembly=Company.Project.OtherAssembly"

However, when I try to use the UserControls with <usercontrols:someUserControl /> it only finds 4 of the 10 UserControls.

I have no idea why, they all have the same namespace. It even finds a public class within a UserControl but not the actual UserControl.

Any help on this matter is much appreciated.

Answer 1

Do you mean that you do not see them in the IntelliSense ? Or it does not compile ?

This may be just that XAML editor in your VS does not treat some of your user controls well. IntelliSense in WPF is sometimes hard to understand.

Answer 2

IntelliSense for XAML relies on built assemblies. Try rebuilding the project with the controls.

Answer 3

If you don't see the UserControls in Intellisense, try to restart Visual Studio or rebuild the Solution.
