The name ‘InitializeComponent’ does not exist in the current context

by

I’ve encountered this a couple times and keep forgetting what causes it.
I ran into this when I renamed the namespace on my code behind file but not in my XAML.

So check if you’ve done the same.

The namespace and class names need to match since they are both part of a partial class

namespace ZZZ
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow
    {
         //...
    }
}

<!-- XAML -->
<Window x:Class="ZZZ.MainWindow">
