I'm trying to learn Catel MVVM by getting the simplest of bare bones example of Catel to work on VS Express 2012 and keep getting an error. I think my problem lies in my "using" statements, references, or the header in my XAML. An auto-generated file writes the offending line as shown below in MainWindow.g.cs The code files are very short, so I've included them.
The model, viewmodel, and view are separated into three projects all under one solution.
I keep getting the following warning with an accompanying error:
The type 'Catel.Windows.DataWindow' in 'c:...\MainWindow.g.cs' conflicts with the imported type 'Catel.Windows.DataWindow' in 'c:...\Catel.MVVM.dll'. Using the type defined in 'c:...\MainWindow.g.cs'.
and the error:
Catel.Windows.DataWindow < ViewModels.MainWindowViewModel > is obsolete: 'Please use 'Catel.Windows.DataWindow' instead. Will be removed in version '4.0'.' C:...\MyFirstCatel\obj\Debug\MainWindow.g.cs
