Unable to find local resource XAML

Question

In my user control XAML I am trying to use an IValueConverter .. I have a class named NullToBoolConverter which implements IValueConverter.

I define my namespace like this:

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyApp"

In my UserControl.Resources, I am trying to reference this class, like this:

<UserControl.Resources>
    <local:NullToBoolConverter x:Key="IsNull"/>
</UserControl.Resources>

When I start to type in the name of the class NullToBoolConverter, it appears in the drop down menu in the list of available local classes, but as soon as I select it I get the message: The name "NullToBoolConverter" does not exist in the namespace "clr-namespace:MyApp".

Am I doing something wrong here ? Any help is appreciated ..

I defined the namespace like this: xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyApp" ... I would assume this is correct as the list of classes that appears when I type 'local:' is correct .. — Sherlock, Jun 21 '13 at 06:56
I would also be interested in knowing why this has been down voted, and how the question could be improved. Thanks. — Sherlock, Jun 21 '13 at 07:13
Sometimes Xaml does it like this. Just try to compile the application once , your error might go away after that. — srsyogesh, Jun 21 '13 at 07:20
