A value of type 'PrintOverviewLayer' cannot be added to a collection or dictionary ..

TroyProctor — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:11:16 GMT

I'm trying to customize a Map Printer Style from MapPrinterStyles.xaml. I've copied the basic style into my code and given it a key. It works fine when I remove this line of code below, but I would still like it to highlight the area to be printed.
<controls:PrintOverviewLayer />

I end up getting the following error message.
A value of type 'PrintOverviewLayer' cannot be added to a collection or dictionary of type 'LayerCollection'.

I've tried removing and adding the MapPrintingControls reference back from the sample, but I still get the same error.

I've tried running the workaround in the post below, but I'm still getting the same error message.

I'm not sure what I missing.
Thanks for the help.

Likely there is a mismatch in the referenced dll's.
Double check that your main project and the project withthe printing controls reference the same ESRI dll's.

Dominique,
I've got the reference "MapPrintingControls" in my main project. I'm not sure what other project I need.

Thanks for the help!
