Error Building with Texture Atlas

05 Aug 2014, 03:59

I am attempting to reference a simple test texture atlas in my UI but when I compile the UI using the BuildTool I get the following error:

"Can't add property to another one"

My texture atlas xaml is song_select_resource_dict.xaml:

<!-- Created using Noesis XAML exporter for TexturePacker (http://www.texturepacker.com) -->
<ResourceDictionary
	xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
	xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
	<ImageBrush x:Key="gradesmall_aaa" ImageSource="gradesmall_aaa.png" Viewbox="0,0,33,54" ViewboxUnits="Absolute" Stretch="Fill" />
</ResourceDictionary>

One of my xaml files which references this file is:

I could also supply the log from the BuildTool if that would help - I would paste it but it contains binary and is difficult to copy/paste.

Any ideas why I might be getting this error? Thanks.

I think the error is in how you specified the Resources property, it should be done like this:

<UserControl.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary Source="song_select_resource_dict.xaml" />
        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        <LinearGradientBrush x:Key="textSilver" EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
            <GradientStop .../>
        <!-- ... -->
    </ResourceDictionary>
</UserControl.Resources>

Ah, whoops. I am doing a lot of processing of the xamls through build scripts after they are edited in Blend and before they are run through the BuiildTool and I see I am messing up that section. Thanks for pointing that out
