How to use a templated control in main window view?

Hi @Mekasu0124, when using a templated control that is defined as a ResourceDictionary you need to include the resource itself in the main window view, like so:


<Window>
     <Window.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
          <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
             <ResourceInclude Source="avares://LoudnessMeter.Views.TemplatedControls/LargeLabelControl.axaml"/>
           </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </ResourceDictionary>
     </Window.Resources>


     <Design.DataContext>
        <vm:MainWindowViewModel/>
    </Design.DataContext>

    <Grid>
      <Grid>
        <StackPanel>
          <controls:LargeLabelControl />
        </StackPanel>
      </Grid>
    </Grid>
</Window>

I hope this helps
