I'm getting a weird XAML error that I don't understand that I'm hoping someone can help with. I am attempting to make a generic AxisBase user control that is capable of plotting any type of data. I then want to extend this to create a specific kind of axis, one that can graph dates on the X axis and doubles on the Y axis.
DateDoubleAxis.xaml
<axis:AxisBase x:Class="project.Views.Controls.Chart.Axis.DateDoubleAxis"
x:TypeArguments="system:DateTime, system:Double"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:axis="using:project.Views.Controls.Chart.Axis"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:system="using:System">...</axis:AxisBase>
AxisBase.cs
namespace project.Views.Controls.Chart.Axis
{
public class AxisBase<TX, TY> : UserControl {...}
}
DateDoubleAxis.xaml.cs
namespace project.Views.Controls.Chart.Axis
{
public sealed partial class DateDoubleAxis : AxisBase<DateTime, Double> {...}
}
But I'm getting a couple weird errors. In the xaml declaration of DateDoubleAxis I get the error
The name "AxisBase`2" does not exist in the namespace "using:project.Views.Controls.Chart.Axis"
The '`2' I believe comes from the fact that AxisBase has two generic types associated with it.
And then in the declaration of DateDoubleAxis I get the error:
Base class of 'project.Views.Controls.Chart.Axis.DateDoubleAxis' differs from declared in other parts
Along with the ironic resharper warning
Base type 'AxisBase' is already specified in other parts
I realize I'm doing something a little weird in trying to extend from my own user control, but I think that it makes sense in this context, and at the very least, a few users have suggested it here.
Can anyone point me to what I might be doing wrong?
