Setting design time DataContext on a Window is giving a compiler error?

by

I have the following XAML below for the main window in my WPF application, I am trying to set the design time d:DataContext below, which I can successfully do for all my various UserControls, but it gives me this error when I try to do it on the window…

Error 1 The property 'DataContext' must be in the default namespace or in the element namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'. Line 8 Position 9. C:\dev\bplus\PMT\src\UI\MainWindow.xaml 8 9 UI
