Materialdesigninxamltoolkit: MahApps Flyout - Error locating resource pack

Created on 14 Aug 2018 · 4Comments · Source: MaterialDesignInXAML/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit

I was just looking into MahApps in combination with materialdesign and worked down the guide.
However I can't get it running it. I've just copied the App.xaml from guide and got an error on <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignThemes.MahApps;component/Themes/MaterialDesignTheme.MahApps.Flyout.xaml" /> the <ResourceDictionary><ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> is there of course just hidden behind the tooltip.

Anything I'm missing here?

I've found an another issue around where somebody suggested the MahApps.163 nuget that fixed my problem for now.
However thanks for the answer.

My current nuget setup look like the following which is working without any problem.

yes,the same problem.
I compare with the example,only difference is the version of MaterialDesignTheme.MahApps.dll.
Maybe in the new version,there is no need to import the Flyout.xaml dictionary.

I suspect the issue here is a mismatch in versions.
The MaterialDesignThemes.MahApps nuget is expecting to target MahApps 1.2.* (though the nuget doesn't restrict it to that version).
There are known issues with the latest MahApps nuget (1.6.*). These have been addressed on the master branch and will be released as part of the 2.5.0 (upcoming) release; however there are not any nuget packages that have been released for this yet.
The guide that you referenced above is out dated and will need to be updated for the latest 2.5.0 work that is coming.

So a few possible solutions (though none are ideal atm)
