IValueConverter not working in VS2012-Blend for win 8

Question

I'm using VS 2012 and Blend for windows 8. When I use to use Converters in my Windows Phone and Silverlight apps I would click on new convert and picked my converter from the list. Now that I have upgraded to VS 2012 and Blend for windows 8 none of my custom converts are showing up. Anyone know how to find the converters?

 class Class1 : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

've never done it the way you posted in the comment (do you have a reference to your converter namespace?), however this works. Add a reference to your converter namespace ontop of your .xaml:

xmlns:converters="clr-namespace:Appname.Views.Converters"

Then declare the converter:

<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
    <converters:SavedTrackColorConverter x:Key="SavedTrackColorConverter" />
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>

Then use the converter where desired:

<TextBlock Foreground="{Binding ListboxStringSavedTunes, Converter={StaticResource SavedTrackColorConverter}}" Text="{Binding ListboxStringSavedTunes}"/>
