WPF: Microsoft_Windows_Themes not found

I am getting this error in my WPF app:

The type 'Microsoft_Windows_Themes:ScrollChrome' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built.

Any idea?

Make sure you add this reference in the top most tag of your control/page/resource dictionary/whatever:

...

xmlns:Microsoft_Windows_Themes="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Windows.Themes;assembly=PresentationFramework.Aero">

And add a reference to PresentationFramework.Aero in your project.
