using a converter from another silverlight project

Question

I have silverlight solution that contains three projects

Customs,

Customs.Admin,

Customs.Web

The Customs project has got converter class [ConvertoBool] which is used throught the project for its UI. It is used through a ResourceDictionary tag in a ResourceDictionary.xaml file from the Customs project.

Now Customs being the main project has got a reference to the Customs.Admin project where all the UI for admin screens are present.

If I want to reuse the converter class [ConvertoBool] from the Customs project in my Customs.Admin project, what would be the way to do it?

Thanks for your time...

Answer 1

Solved it by adding the following in the app.xaml of Customs project

<ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
          <ResourceDictionary Source="MyResources/Converters.xaml" /> ...

In the Converters.xaml file under folder MyResources of the Customs project I created a resource dictionary pointing to the converter class.

That did it!

Answer 2

Converters are just normal classes, so you have to reference the project that contains it. If you cannot reference it because of a circular reference then you'll have to move the Converter and/ore re-think your solution's architecture.
