Materialdesigninxamltoolkit: materialDesign:HintAssist.Foreground NOT RECOGNIZED

[shunjid]

I just pasted the PasswordBox input field from the resource and Visual studio says that
'The member 'Foreground' is not recognized or, accessible'.

Is this an issue or, am I missing something?

@shunjid I assume you mean you have something like this:

            <PasswordBox  x:Name="FloatingPasswordBox"
                     materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="Floating Password"
                     materialDesign:HintAssist.Foreground="Green"
                     materialDesign:TextFieldAssist.UnderlineBrush="Green"
                     Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignFloatingHintPasswordBox}" />

You will also need the including namespace on the root element

xmlns:materialDesign="http://materialdesigninxaml.net/winfx/xaml/themes"

Like it was done here

@Keboo

Root element means MainWindow.xaml?

In my MainWindow.xaml you can see,

<Window x:Class="SimpleForms.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SimpleForms"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        xmlns:materialDesign="http://materialdesigninxaml.net/winfx/xaml/themes"
        TextElement.Foreground="{DynamicResource MaterialDesignBody}"
        TextElement.FontWeight="Regular"
        TextElement.FontSize="13"
        TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Ideal"
        TextOptions.TextRenderingMode="Auto"
        Background="{DynamicResource MaterialDesignPaper}"
        FontFamily="{DynamicResource MaterialDesignFont}"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="600" Width="480">

And In App.xaml

<Application x:Class="SimpleForms.App"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SimpleForms"

             StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
    <Application.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf;component/Themes/MaterialDesignTheme.Light.xaml" />
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf;component/Themes/MaterialDesignTheme.Defaults.xaml" />
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignColors;component/Themes/Recommended/Primary/MaterialDesignColor.DeepPurple.xaml" />
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignColors;component/Themes/Recommended/Accent/MaterialDesignColor.Lime.xaml" />
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

But still It's not getting recognized :-(

Are you using the latest 2.5.1 preview NuGet? The change is only in the 2.5.1 preview package.

[shunjid]

@Keboo
It's 2.5.0.1205

[Keboo]

Ah that is the problem then, you will need to use the newer 2.5.1 preview NuGet package if you want that property.

[shunjid]

@Keboo In Visual Studio When I am trying to download it shows 2.5.0.1205 as the latest one. How do I install 2.5.1 then?

[Keboo]

There is a little checkbox called "Include Prerelease". Once checked it will show the preview packages along with the full releases. Docs here

Finally, This is happening.
Thanks a lot @Keboo ❤️
