Importing wpf namespaces

I want to reference a class of enumerations in the xaml markup. I have successfully referenced this class by using "Add User Import" on the References section of my project. I can now access these enumerations from the VB side, but not from XAML.

XML

<Window x:Class="Window2"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
    xmlns:gcl="clr-namespace:GeomaniacClassLibrary.Enumerations;assembly=GeomaniacClassLibrary"

The intellisense does not allow me to access the .Enumerations class. The following code gives an error saying

Error	7	The name "PointClass" does not exist in the namespace "clr-namespace:GeomaniacClassLibrary.Enumerations;assembly=GeomaniacClassLibrary".

XML

<Window.Resources>
       <ObjectDataProvider MethodName="GetValues"
                       ObjectType="{x:Type sys:Enum}"
                       x:Key="PointClasses">
           <ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters>
               <x:Type TypeName="gcl:PointClass" />
           </ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters>
       </ObjectDataProvider>
   </Window.Resources>

Any ideas ?

Sounds strange, by try re-building the solution, sometimes I have found WPF does not fully reference the dll namespace in the XAML until it is rebuilt.

Solution 1

I appear to have solved the problem myself.

I created an Enumerations namespace in GeomaniacClassLibrary and added my enumerations to it. It now appears in the xaml intellisense and works.
