In my application i have a bunch of string definitions. I have put them as within the resources of visual studio with the idea so that it would save as an xml .resx file. The reason for this, is that after deployment i would be able to change some string definitions when i need to for some reason.
So, i have set the resources properties build action to be "XamlAppDef" and the Custom tool is automatically set to "PublicResXFileCodeGenerator" by visual studio. Furthermore i linked system.xaml in my project references.
Although the .resx file is automatically generated, i now get an error during compile:
The XAML MSBuild task only processes files that contain an '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml}Class' directive. Please refer to documentation for usage of ‘{http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml}Class’
i tried figuring out how to fix this, but i cant really seem to figure it out. Any thoughts ?
The XamlAppDef is exactly only for XAML, not RESX resources. Use the Content build action instead.
