Get rid of Visual Studio Namespace error message

c#,.net,wpf,xaml,namespaces

It seems to me that your main application namespace is TreeViewTestC and not MyNameSpace.

Try using this instead: xmlns:MyTree="clr-namespace:MyNameSpace;assembly=TreeViewTestC" ...

You can use a StringFormat in your binding, like so: <TextBox Text="{Binding ItemName, StringFormat={}Item: {0}}"/> That being said, it may cause some unexpected behavior when editing. For example, if the user edits only the item name (excluding the 'Item:' text), then when the TextBox loses focus, the string format will...

WinPhone 8.1 | Force xaml layout change

c#,xaml,windows-phone-8.1,win-universal-app

You need to yield control to the UI thread to give it a chance to display the progress indicator. One convenient way to do that is to use the async/await keywords: protected override async void OnKeyDown(KeyRoutedEventArgs e) { if (e.Key == Windows.System.VirtualKey.Enter && (xaml_search_box.FocusState == Windows.UI.Xaml.FocusState.Pointer || xaml_search_box.FocusState == Windows.UI.Xaml.FocusState.Keyboard))...

How to hide app bar button in different hub sections windows phone?

c#,xaml,windows-phone-8.1

If I understand right your question, you set Name property not in the right place. You should set it for AppBarButton element, not for SymbolIcon. I think your code should work after this changes.
