Getting Started not working

[John Wiese]

I have a basic Xamarin (PCL) app with a Droid, iOS, and UWP project. My UWP is the default I'm testing with.   I've followed the instructions in the Getting Started for the SfNavigationDrawer section of the docs and I can't get it to work.  The sample app works fine but when I try to run my bare bones app I get this error:

Cannot deserialize XBF metadata type list as 'SfNavigationDrawer' was not found in namespace 'Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.NavigationDrawer'. [Line: 0 Position: 0]

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks,

John

And we would like to whether you are referring Syncfusion nuget packages for creating project or assemblies.

Your sample works in my Android emulator, but not in the UWP app, all I get is a blank white window.

Hi John,

Query: NavigationDrawer not visible on UWP platform.

For running NavigationDrawer in Xamarin.Forms UWP platform you should include theme files along with the dlls required for NavigationDrawer. Please refer the attached folder(“Necessary_Files”) and ensure that you have added all the required files in your project. We have also created a sample for your reference. Please download the sample and Necessary_Files folder from the following link.

Hi everybody, I am experimenting the same white empty windows.

Can you please provide documentation about how to add Theme  ?

Thanks

Hi,

Query: I am experimenting white Windows screen.

If you were missed to add theme files along with your dll means you would get white screen on your Windows. In order to over come this problem you have to add necessary theme files along with the dlls. Please refer the below link which carries the details about files to be included in Xamarin.Forms UWP project.

Link: http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/126048/ze/NecessaryFiles-1988236941 

Please ensure that you have added all the files shown in the screen shots while creating your project,let us know if you have any concerns.

Where do you get the Theme files?  I don't recall any mention of them in the Getting Started and your "NecessaryFiles" zip only has screen shots but no files.  What are the steps to get these theme files into my project?
