I have a particular view with a DataGrid (silverlight 4). But i have a project where resources have been merged with another project (for backward support). Now, after this merge, i am getting this error whenever i try to add a new row oject to my ObservableCollection.... my theory is that it is something wrong with the xaml (which i can touch!) or, hopefully, the merged resources (styles & brushes).

InnerException:
This usually means that there is a problem with your XAML that couldn't be validated at design time but would manifest in runtime. Given your scenario I'm guessing the row you're adding may cause one of the Datagrid column templates to error in this manner.
This usually is due to a reference to a style or an event handler that does not exist or is not within the context of the XAML. In my experience this is a common occurence in Custom Control development.

HTH.
