I am trying to create a SecureStringTextBox in 3.0 using xaml. I created a
control that looks like this:

xaml code
<TextBox x:Class="PP.Controls.SecureStringTextBox"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
</TextBox>

code behind
2
namespace PP.Controls
{
    public partial class SecureStringTextBox : System.Windows.Controls.TextBox
    {
        public SecureStringTextBox()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

Now I built a test app that looks like this:
<Window x:Class="TestControl.Window1"
    xmlns:g="clr-namespace:PP.Controls;assembly=PP.Controls"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="TestControl" Height="300" Width="300"

    <Grid>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Now the assembly name is PP.Controls.dll and I have a reference to that
library in my test app. Even doing that I get a blue underline under
xmlns:g="clr-namespace:PP.Controls;assembly=PP.Controls" and it says
"Error    1    Assembly 'PP.Controls' was not found. The 'clr-namespace' URI refers
to an assembly that is not referenced by the project.

Now it runs fine but if I the design parts says "Visual Studio has encounted
an error reading the designer file. The errors are shown in the task list.
Make sure appropriate change to the designer file and then click on the
design button to try again". Now if I double click on the design part I get
an error in the Error list that says 'Assembly 'PP.Controls' was not found.
The 'clr-namespace' URI refers to an assembly that is not referenced by the
project."

Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks
