If you have just added your custom class to SomeNamespace then it isn't going to be in the assembly that the GAC knows about. The solution is to run DevInstall /u if you are using that command from the WMC SDK. If not the command is: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\gacutil.exe /if "pathtoyourregisteredassembly" I had this problem too with local assemblies… if you are walking through the sample and you have installed your media center app then assembly://MceAppAssembly/SomeNamespace will actually pull the assembly MceAppAssembly from the GAC.

I too am scratching my head. What about a class library from the same solution. I too am scratching my head.
