System Type Exception: Char

Question

I am trying to create a reusable value System:Charin my resources xaml.

I have:

xmlns:s="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

Then:

<s:Char x:Key="MaskPromptChar">#</s:Char>

I get an exception:

The type 'Char' was not found. [Line: 8 Position: 44]

But ... I also have:

<s:Double x:Key="DefaultControlWidth">200</s:Double>

AND...

<s:String x:Key="ApplicationTitle">My Title</s:String>

Both Stringand Doubleare working properly.

Ideas ??

Answer 1

This code works for me in both Silverlight and WPF.

<UserControl.Resources>
<sys:Double x:Key='myDouble'>4</sys:Double>
<sys:Char  x:Key='myChar'>#</sys:Char>
</UserControl.Resources>
<StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot">
  <PasswordBox Password='aaa'
               PasswordChar='$' />
  <PasswordBox Password='aaa'
               PasswordChar='{StaticResource myChar}' />
</StackPanel>
