XMLDataProvider in Cider

After working on my treeview sample using Cider,
I started to wonder what's up with the XMLDataProvider?
I dropped in my node, the x:Key and the source property,
But something was funny!

I could not get it to build,
I was not very thrilled.

The Error List said all objects added to an IDictionary
must have a key.
Something was missing to me.

So I searched the help file,
and it took me a while,
to notice all the samples were done in the same style.
Their samples do not reference an external file!

Something is amiss with the XmlNamespaceManager,
Hmmm, I must find someone to badger.


I even found this sample,
but it made me woeful.
The XmlDataNamespaceManager node was unknown to the schema,
which made me feel like I was dealing with FEMA.  

Maybe my friend DonXML,
and the other MVP's of XML,
can get me out of this hell.


 

Cider (WPF VS.NET designer) Forum

There are a couple of forums available to XAML geeks out there that you should check out. 

The "Cider" forum - The designer for WPF and XAML in Visual Studio.

The "Avalon" forum - A place to discuss and learn about Windows Presentation Foundation (aka "Avalon").
