Questions regarding ESRI applications

Hi,

When you create a new ESRI Standard or Showcase Map Application, you get a folder in your solution called "Themes", in which there is a file called "generic.xaml". This file loads resource dictionaries. What I would like to know, is how is this file used/called because there is no reference to it anywhere I can find?

Also, these applications use a namespace as follows:

 
xmlns:userControls="clr-namespace:ESRI.ArcGIS.SilverlightMapApp"

How can I had this namespace to my application which I did not create from the 2 templates mentioned above? When I try to add a namespace, it does not show up as a choice.

Thanks,
Paul

The default templates of the custom controls have to be defined in the Themes/generic.xaml file.

This file is automatically used by Silverlight, you don't have to reference it in your project.
