XamlParseException on Initialize component WP8

Question

As the title says I get a XamlParseException when I try to run the app. I have only just started learning xaml and am currently following a tutorial from a book called Windows Phone 8 game development here is the exception it is giving me.

System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException occurred HResult=-2146233087 Message=The property 'System.Windows.Controls.Panel.Children' is set more than once. [Line: 53 Position: 74] Source=System.Windows LineNumber=53 LinePosition=74 StackTrace: at System.Windows.Application.LoadComponent(Object component, Uri resourceLocator) at SpaceAim3D.Views.MenuPage.InitializeComponent() at SpaceAim3D.Views.MenuPage..ctor() InnerException:

here is my code

 public partial class MenuPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
    private Dictionary<String, String> m_urls = new Dictionary<string, string>();

    public MenuPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        m_urls["play"] = "/Views/GamePage.xaml";
        m_urls["ranks"] = "/Views/RanksPage.xaml";
        m_urls["map"] = "/Views/MapPage.xaml";
        m_urls["world"] = "/Views/WorldPage.xaml";
        m_urls["help"] = "/Views/HelpPage.xaml";
        m_urls["web"] = "/Views/WebPage.xaml";
        m_urls["settings"] = "/Views/SettingsPage.xaml";
    }

    //This is a common event handler used by all entities on menu page
    private void BrdPage_Tap(object sender, GestureEventArgs e)
    {
        //To get the tag name we case the sender object and get the tag as a string
        String page = ((Border)sender).Tag as String;
        NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri(m_urls[page], UriKind.Relative));
    }
}

and here is my Xaml code

Answer 1

I moved all the xaml code with border tags above the grid.background and it worked
