User(s) can reproduce this bug
We have a project with wpf c# (xaml) and c++ projects.
Now we migrated the project to x64 and visual studio 2012.


The namespace that we use is x.y.z

x = Company
y = Product
z = functionality

The xaml markup gives an error on the assembly comming from the c++ project.
It does not see any public classes from c++ code.

In the x86 version we do not have this problem.

Because of this event notifiers do not work anymore in the x64 project.

Found some clues from others that the c++ classes must use sealed, but this this not work.

In the Code behind .cs code there is no problem, it is only the XAML designer and the code generated from it.
Details (expand)

Visual Studio/Team Foundation Server/.NET Framework Tooling Version

Visual Studio 2012

Steps to reproduce

Create a c++ x64 project and use it in a WPF project in XAML designer.

Product Language

English

Operating System

Windows 7 SP1

Operating System Language

English

Actual results

Xaml designer does not know classes/properties from c++ x64 project.

Expected results

Xaml designer can work with classes/properties from x64 c++ project.

With Visual Studio 2010 Sp1 there was no problem.
Now the WPF designer gives codes which does not work, events are not fired etc..

The problem started when i started using x64, so the x86 works fine.
Main issue is that when using x64 c++ code the designer for xaml does not work and the generated code is not working.

Hi there,

We investigated this issue, and came to the conclusion that we will not be able to address this issue for the next release of Visual Studio (since this also happens in VS 2010 SP1, and we belive this is something unique to your setup that other customers have not ran into).

It looks like you are try to expose a type from C++/CLI and consume that from a managed project. Not sure if this scenario was every officially supported.


If you get in touch with me directly at unnir at microsoft dot com, I can also try to help out a bit to see if there is any viable workaround you can make here.

Thanks!

Attached a sample solution, look at the following lines in visual studio 2012

        <HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType ="{x:Type ManDwfToolkit:DwfLayer}">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                <TextBlock Text="Layer"/>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name, Mode=OneTime}"/>
            </StackPanel>
        </HierarchicalDataTemplate>

Problem is with the Birdseyeview.xd4all.ManDwfToolkit assembly.

This works wel in Visual Studio 2010 and not anymore in Visual studio 2012.
