xaml error message

hello group,

I am working on a xaml file (WPF) and keep running into this error message.

{"'Provide value on 'System.Windows.StaticResourceExtension' threw an exception.' Line number '6' and line position '9'."}

<Window x:Class="myproject.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
        Title="MainWindow" 
        Height="850" Width="1000">

Open in new window

What is causing this? I'm using default xml name spaces. I will appreciate it if you let me know.

Thanks,
amit

For static resource, you should define it before reference to it (dynamic resource doesn't have this limitation). you could place the resources "MyToolbar" in the Resources section of the Window (Window.xaml) or the application (App.xaml).
