HeaderView causes NullReferenceException

Hi there, 

Have been trying out the SfCalendar for my app. The standard control seems to work fine but when I try to change the HeaderView I get a NullReferenceException. Using version 16.4.0.47. My code is:

         

       

           

       

   

Have attached the stack traces on iOS and Android respectively.

Many thanks

    <sf:SfCalendar x:Name="Bob">

        <sf:SfCalendar.HeaderView>

            <Label Text="Bob"/>

        </sf:SfCalendar.HeaderView>

    </sf:SfCalendar>

I get the same NullReferenceException when I try to customize the CellTemplate, and with other controls when I customize appearance.

What I have discovered is that using stable Xamarin.Forms 3.4.0.1009999 there is no issue but with 4.0.0.62955-pre2 I get the Exceptions. Seems there is a breaking change coming to many Syncfusion components.

Hi William, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support, 

 

We have analyzed the reported issue “NullReferenceException throws when sets header view for calendar with Xamarin forms version 4.0.0.62955 pre-2” and as this version of Xamarin Forms is a prerelease version, hence it may has some bugs in this case the Platform property of VisualElement return as null, while get the property using Reflection, hence kindly use the latest stable version (3.4.0.1009999) of Xamarin Forms, in which it works fine without the exception. 

Kindly revert us if you have any concern.
