Cannot use resx files if their are in another project

Question

I am developing a WPF application in .NET. I am using many projects because it has some shared files of another project like resource files for localization.

If resx file and xaml file are in the same project (Project1.Properties.Resources.resx), everything works fine (Project1.AccountView.xaml)

Working Tree

|-Project1
|         |-Properties
|         |          |-Resources.resx
|         |
|         |-AccountView.xaml
|
|
|-Project2
          | ...


AccountView.xaml

<UserControl ...
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:p="clr-namespace:Project1.Properties">
   ....
   <TextBox Controls:TextBoxHelper.Watermark="{x:Static p:Resources.Username}"/>
</UserControl>

The problem here is that I have resource files in another project (Project2.Views.Account.Login.resx) and I cannot use these files in AccountView.xaml (Remember that this xaml is inside 'Project1') in the same way as

Working Tree

|-Project1
|         |
|         |-AccountView.xaml
|
|
|-Project2
          |-Views
                |-Account
                        |-Login.resx


AccountView.xaml

<UserControl ...
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:p="clr-namespace:Project2.Views.Account">
    ...
    TextBox Controls:TextBoxHelper.Watermark="{x:Static Login.Username}"/>
</UserControl>

The error when the project has been built is: 'Login' name does not exist in 'clr-namespace:Project2.Views.Account' namespace

All resx files have Public Access Modifier.

Somebody knows how can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

The namespace declaration should include the name of the assembly (project):

xmlns:p="clr-namespace:Project2.Views.Account;assembly=Project2"
...
TextBox Controls:TextBoxHelper.Watermark="{x:Static p:Login.Username}"
