  2. New Project, choose "F# Empty Windows App (WPF)";
  3. Change folder and filename;
  4. Click "OK".

That template isn't actually associated with FsXaml, or part of this project. I will see whether it can be updated to use the current versions of FsXaml so it works properly.

Ok thanks. I think it is this template. The tool-names are a bit alike, so there's my confusion.

@fjoppe Thanks - I believe it's https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharpCommunityTemplates/blob/master/VisualStudio/FSharpWpfEmptyTemplate/VSIX/ProjectTemplates/WPF/FSharpWpfEmpty.zip I'll see about trying to update it.

I think we'll address this as part of #63 instead of trying to get the community templates updated. This will allow us to iterate them with new versions more easily.

Reed: I am having this issue with Visual Studio 2015. Can you point me to a workaround? If not, when do you expect the template to be fixed? Thanks.

ReedCopsey commented 7 years ago

@octopusgrabbus I'd recommend not using the template - @Lleutch is working on a new set of templates (see #63), but there is no time frame for when that'll be finished.

The templates referenced in this issue are not ones written by us, so it's difficult for us to get them corrected. If you use them, you'll just need to update the nuget references to the latest FsXaml, then remove the , true in the XAML calls, and it should work. That being said, I don't recommend the templates in general - they aren't ideal, and they don't add much, as there is little needed w.r.t. a template for using FsXaml.
