    copied!<p>I am using the Consumer Preview of Windows 8 to create a Metro app. Whenever I add a new IValueConverter to a XAML page I receive the following exceptions from within the StandardStyles.xaml file:</p> <blockquote> <p>The name "DictionaryEntry" does not exist in the namespace "using:System.Collections"</p> </blockquote> <p>The errors point to this section of the StandardStyles.xaml file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries&gt; &lt;Collections:DictionaryEntry x:Key="Default"&gt; &lt;Collections:DictionaryEntry.Value&gt; &lt;ResourceDictionary&gt; &lt;x:String x:Key="BackButtonGlyph"&gt;&lt;/x:String&gt; &lt;x:String x:Key="BackButtonSnappedGlyph"&gt;&lt;/x:String&gt; &lt;/ResourceDictionary&gt; &lt;/Collections:DictionaryEntry.Value&gt; &lt;/Collections:DictionaryEntry&gt; &lt;Collections:DictionaryEntry x:Key="HighContrast"&gt; &lt;Collections:DictionaryEntry.Value&gt; &lt;ResourceDictionary&gt; &lt;x:String x:Key="BackButtonGlyph"&gt;&lt;/x:String&gt; &lt;x:String x:Key="BackButtonSnappedGlyph"&gt;&lt;/x:String&gt; &lt;/ResourceDictionary&gt; &lt;/Collections:DictionaryEntry.Value&gt; &lt;/Collections:DictionaryEntry&gt; &lt;/ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries&gt; </code></pre> <p>This file was added automatically when I created a new Metro App project from the default Metro App project templates. The file compiled and ran fine before I added a IValueConverter to a page. The issue happens every time I add a IValueConverter, regardless of which project template I use, and regardless of if I add the IValueConverter using Expression Blend or Visual Studio.</p> <p>This could just be a bug in the Consumer Preview release, but it seems like such a fundamental piece of work, that I figured it was worth asking here if anyone else has run into this issue and, if so, how were you able to solve or workaround it?</p>
