System.Windows.Baml2006.TypeConverterMarkupExtension

Question

Hello I do have a Problem quite a lot of people seem to have but i tried the suggested Solutions and they haven't worked. I have this Code that always throws a exception (Message: "Provide value on 'System.Windows.Baml2006.TypeConverterMarkupExtension' threw an exception") at the Window.InitializeComponent() Methode. Here is My Xaml Code:

<Window x:Class="SimpleMoving.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Name="SquareFighter" Height="392" Width="621" KeyDown="Window_KeyDown" KeyUp="Window_KeyUp" ResizeMode="CanMinimize">
    <Canvas Name="MyCanvas">
        <Rectangle Name="Box" Height="60" Canvas.Left="17" Stroke="Black" Canvas.Top="172" Width="30">
            <Rectangle.Fill>
                <ImageBrush ImageSource="pack://application:,,,/Resources/Peanut.png"/>
            </Rectangle.Fill>
        </Rectangle>
        <Rectangle Name="Rec1" Height="30" Canvas.Left="908" Stroke="Black" Canvas.Top="50" Width="30">
            <Rectangle.Fill>
                <ImageBrush ImageSource="pack://application:,,,/Resources/Rock.png"/>
            </Rectangle.Fill>
        </Rectangle>
        <Rectangle Height="30" Canvas.Left="908" Stroke="Black" Canvas.Top="110" Width="30">
            <Rectangle.Fill>
                <ImageBrush ImageSource="pack://application:,,,/Resources/Rock.png"/>
            </Rectangle.Fill>
        </Rectangle>
        <Rectangle Height="30" Canvas.Left="908" Stroke="Black" Canvas.Top="169" Width="30">
            <Rectangle.Fill>
                <ImageBrush ImageSource="pack://application:,,,/Resources/Rock.png"/>
            </Rectangle.Fill>
        </Rectangle>
        <Rectangle Height="30" Canvas.Left="908" Stroke="Black" Canvas.Top="229" Width="30">
            <Rectangle.Fill>
                <ImageBrush ImageSource="pack://application:,,,/Resources/Rock.png"/>
            </Rectangle.Fill>
        </Rectangle>
        <Rectangle Height="30" Canvas.Left="908" Stroke="Black" Canvas.Top="289" Width="30">
            <Rectangle.Fill>
                <ImageBrush ImageSource="pack://application:,,,/Resources/Rock.png"/>
            </Rectangle.Fill>
        </Rectangle>
        <Label Name="LevelLabel" Content="Level: 1" Canvas.Left="54" Canvas.Top="10" Height="38" Width="164" FontSize="20"/>
        <Label Content="Shoot the squares back using WSDA!" Canvas.Left="180" Width="290" FontSize="16"/>
    </Canvas>
</Window>

I don't know what to do. I hope you can help.

Answer 1

Most likely you don't have images located under Resources folder.

Make sure following things holds valid for both images (Rock.png and Peanut.png) used in your XAML:

1. Image is added in project under Resources folder in same project.
2. Build Action for image is set to Resource .

Also, you can try using more verbose Pack URI definition:

"pack://application:,,,/SimpleMoving;component/Resources/Peanut.png" and "pack://application:,,,/SimpleMoving;component/Resources/Rock.png" where SimpleMoving is name of your assembly.
