I have a scenario where I'm binding to a data object. Worked fine in the Nov release, but in the december release, It's telling me the mapping statement is missing the assembly attribuite. As such, the xaml won't complie. I tried creating a new window and trying a basic mapping statemenet as the only modification, and that fails too. Any feedback
my mapping statement is something like
< Mapping xmlnamespace="blah" clrnamespace="whatever" >
(ignor caps/spelling errors, i just rattled it off from memory)

December CTP Namespace Mapping problem

To Dieter De Preester:
another sentense is needed:
< Mapping XmlNamespace="myList" ClrNamespace="WindowsApplication11" >
<Window ...
xmlns:myList="myList">
<Window.DataContext>
<myList:Persons>
</myList:Persons>
</Window.DataContext>

Stephen - did you ever get round this
I just moved to the Jan CTP from Nov CTP and am up against the exact same thing.
It can't seem to find my Assembly references and all my "local:myThing" type statements in XAML are being rejected by the compiler.
Thanks for any feedback you may have.

(BTW There is a Cider specific forum:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=169&SiteID=1 where you can give feedback on Cider)
Stephen: there are limitations on what we support for namespace mappings in the designer in the December CTP (see http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/Cider.FrequentlyAskedQuestions).
Michael: thanks for the feedback. There are some limitations on what XAML we support (I'll detail these on the Cider Channel 9 Wiki over the holidays) however most XAML should work. Please report anything you find that doesn't work on the Cider forum.
thanks very much

I have this mapping
< Mapping XmlNamespace="myList" ClrNamespace="WindowsApplication11" >
and in my XAML file i have
<Window.DataContext>
<myList:Persons>
</myList:Persons>
</Window.DataContext>
The problem is that the compilation process fails. I get a compile error saying
Error 1 Assembly attribute missing. D:\Temp\WindowsApplication11\WindowsApplication11\Window1.xaml 1 68 WindowsApplication11
Error 2 Type 'myList:Persons' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference D:\Temp\WindowsApplication11\WindowsApplication11\Window1.xaml 73 6 WindowsApplication11
Error 3 Namespace prefix 'myList' is not defined. D:\Temp\WindowsApplication11\WindowsApplication11\Window1.xaml 73 6 WindowsApplication11
Error 18 Unknown build error, ''myList' is an undeclared namespace. Line 73, position 6.' D:\Temp\WindowsApplication11\WindowsApplication11\Window1.xaml 73 6 WindowsApplication11
Kind regards

I just discovered, the xaml WILL compile. It runs fine, but the designer still shows the error in the task list and wont render.
