[Bug] Badged Control Causes Window Loading to Hang

[amkuchta]

What steps will reproduce this issue?

Wrapping a TextBox in a Badged control (bound to the TextBox's Text.Length property) causes the window to hang when loading - the GlowBoarder will load, but nothing else. Code Snippet provided below:

<Controls:Badged Margin="5,0,5,5" Badge="{Binding ElementName=badgeTest, Path=Text.Length}" BadgePlacementMode="TopLeft">
  <TextBox x:Name="badgeTest" Controls:TextBoxHelper.Watermark="Enter sometext!" />
</Controls:Badged>

Expected outcome

Window should load and the badge should show the length of the text in the named TextBox

@ButchersBoy this one might interest you, since you implemented the Badge Control

@amkuchta I can't start your Vulnerator sample, so I extracted the view and put it into the main demo and can not reproduce what you say. So please, try to figure it out if this is really the problem of the badged control, try to create a short sample app which reproduces your issue, thx

[amkuchta]

@punker76 to get the Vulnerator app to build, try copying the x86 and x64 folders from the main "Vulnerator" folder into "/bin/Debug". I think that should solve your issues.

@punker76 new info - I am now getting an exception (had to disable "Just My Code"):

"Exception = 'BadgeScaleTransform' name cannot be found in the name scope of 'System.Windows.Controls.ControlTemplate'."
