Pull Request Overview
This PR fixes a bug where loading ResourceDictionary from Source would swallow exceptions thrown during XAML inflation. The fix ensures that when a TargetInvocationException is caught, the inner exception is properly re-thrown to provide meaningful error messages to developers.
- Wraps ResourceDictionary instantiation in try-catch blocks to handle
TargetInvocationException - Uses
ExceptionDispatchInfo.Capture()to preserve the original stack trace when re-throwing inner exceptions - Adds comprehensive unit tests to verify that XAML parse exceptions are properly reported
