title: Designer not able to show XAML (the type 'local:... was not found)
body: <p>My issue seems to be the exact same one as this question:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14097979/unable-to-load-the-metadata-errors-when-loading-a-project">&quot;Unable to load the metadata&quot; errors when loading a project</a>
  But since it is not answered I will ask my own question.</p>
  
  <p>I am using <code>Microsft Visual C# 2010 Express</code> to open a project. No errors at first but when I open an <code>xaml file</code> I get the following errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error   4   The type 'local:IndexConverter' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built.    MainWindow.xaml 19  26  AppInventoryMvvm
  Error   5   The type 'local:EditResourceMultiParamConverter' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built.   MainWindow.xaml 39  26  AppInventoryMvvm
  Error   6   The type 'local:AddResourceMultiParamConverter' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built.    MainWindow.xaml 54  26  AppInventoryMvvm
  Error   7   The type 'local:IndexConverter' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built.    MainWindow.xaml 96  30  AppInventoryMvvm
  Error   8   The type 'local:IndexConverter' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built.    MainWindow.xaml 112 30  AppInventoryMvvm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see all the errors look the same and the code where it is complaining looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;local:IndexConverter x:Key="IndexConverter" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I am using the exact same version of IDE together with SP and so on as my other colleagues, (I am also opening the exact same project as them) it is a total mystery to me why I can view the design! any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>To see the exact errors and code, please see the screen dump below:
