Why is 'BusyIndicator' not found?
I am using Silverlight 5 toolkit and I am references that version of Silverlight.Windows.Controls.Toolkit in my silverlight demo.
But I get this error and I do not know what to do
Error 16 The tag 'BusyIndicator' does not exist in XML namespace 'clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit'. C:\Users\Bobbi\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects...
How do I get the code to compile?
You'll need to add an explicit refrence to it in the XAML, kind of like using namespace ... ;. The MSDN has some documentation on this here. Basically, you add it to the root element it like so:
<Page
...
xmlns:tk="clr-namespace:Silverlight.Windows.Controls.Toolkit;assembly=<assembly_name>"
...
/>
Where you'd replace <assembly_name> with the actual name of the assembly (without the .dll). You then reference it using the namespace you defined (in this case I used tk):
<tk:BusyIndicator/>
