.NET application cannot start and receive XamlParseException
See the question and my original answer on StackOverflowXamlParseException
is the generic error that happens when there is a problem at application start. I suggest you modify you application startup code to trace what's really going on and get, not only the XamlParseException, but also the inner exception(s) which should help you determine the root of the problem. Here is an example:
namespace WpfApplication1
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for App.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class App : Application
{
protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{
// hook on error before app really starts
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(CurrentDomain_UnhandledException);
base.OnStartup(e);
}
void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
// put your tracing or logging code here (I put a message box as an example)
MessageBox.Show(e.ExceptionObject.ToString());
}
}
}
