Answer 1

I just discovered another issue, that may cause this problem. It is allowed to use dots in project names, e.g.

FancyTrainsimTools.Desktop

is a valid project name. If you use folders in the project, you may get constructs like this:

FancyTrainsimTools.Desktop.Logic

If you define data templates referencing items in this folder, this results in error messages. I also used a hierarchical datatemplate, but this gives slightly different messages.

The workaround:

Rename your project by removing the dot:

FancyTrainsimToolsDesktop

Edit: I try to reproduce the issue again, in order to report a bug, but now it all works.... So mystery not yet solved and not clear what to do to create w ork around....
