Xaml is valid. This error appears after I clone and run project on another laptop.

It looks like your app crashes when it tries to create the TextBlock. Have you made sure there is a resource named "BuisnessConnectorTextBlock" in your .resw file?

The xaml parser will try to find the specified resource and apply its properties to the TextBlock. If the resource doesn't exist the parser will throw an exception. Also if the resource has any properties that don't fit a TextBlock you will get an exception too.

(It looks to me like a typo it should be "BusinessConnectorTextBlock")
