String appearing blank when trying to use it in 2 different components

Question

I'm trying to use the same string resource for 2 different components but they both appear blank. How can this problem be fixed?

Resources.resw

• ContactUs.Label - Contact Us
• ContactUs.Text - Contact Us

Main page

        <AppBarButton Name="AppBarButtonContactUs" x:Uid="ContactUs.Label"/>

2nd page

        <TextBlock x:Uid="ContactUs.Text" Style="{StaticResource HeaderTextBlockStyle}" />

Answer 1

The reason of "Unable to resolve property 'Text' while processing properties for x:Uid 'ContactUs'." is that AppBarButton has x:Uid ContactUs but no property Text, the x:Uid must be different if the target property is different.

You can do like that:

   <TextBlock x:Uid="ContactUs_Text" />  
   <AppBarButton x:Uid="ContactUs_Label" />  

and in Resource.resw

Answer 2

Set the Uid of both to be "ContactUs".

Have two resource entries
"ContactUs.Label" and "ContactUs.Text" which both have the same value.
