missing assembly reference in generated code

[Allen Foster]

Hi,

I created a Xamarin Forms project in Visual Studio Enterprise on my macbook pro.

After following along to the getting started article here: https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/sfpicker/gettingstarted#adding-sfpicker-reference
I am encountering compile errors in a generated file: ConfRoomScheduling.iOS.Views.FindRoomsPage.xaml.g.cs

The error is ocurring on this line in the generated file:
        [global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("Xamarin.Forms.Build.Tasks.XamlG", "0.0.0.0")]
        private global::Xamarin.Forms.syncfusion.SfPicker countryPicker;
The error is:
.../ConfRoomScheduling/iOS/obj/iPhoneSimulator/Debug/ConfRoomScheduling.iOS.Views.FindRoomsPage.xaml.g.cs(39,39): Error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'syncfusion' does not exist in the namespace 'Xamarin.Forms' (are you missing an assembly reference?) (CS0234) (ConfRoomScheduling.iOS)


Here is my XAML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfPicker.XForms;assembly=Syncfusion.SfPicker.XForms" x:Class="ConfRoomScheduling.Views.FindRoomsPage">
    <ContentPage.Content>
        <syncfusion.SfPicker x:Name="countryPicker" HeaderText="Select a Country">
        </syncfusion.SfPicker>
        <syncfusion.SfPicker x:Name="CityPicker" HeaderText="Select a City">
        </syncfusion.SfPicker>
        <syncfusion.SfPicker x:Name="FacilityPOicker" HeaderText="Select a Facility">
        </syncfusion.SfPicker>
    </ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>

and code behind:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using Xamarin.Forms;
//using Syncfusion.SfPicker.XForms;
//using Syncfusion.SfPicker.iOS;


namespace ConfRoomScheduling
{
    public partial class FindRoomsPage : ContentPage
    {
        public FindRoomsPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

I also tried with commented lines activated - but they were recognized.

Any help appreciated.
