Hi Ma,  

 

We suspect that the fix has not been applied in your application correctly. This problem occurs due the nuget cache has not been cleared correctly in your system. Please follow steps mentioned in below link before applying the patch.  

  

https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/6987/how-to-clear-nuget-cache 

  

If you still face the problem, please updates us the sample based on your application along with replication procedure. This will be helpful for us to investigate further and provide you a better solution at the earliest. 

 

Also, we would like to inform you that, we must use same version in all the project in solution. We can’t use fix version in one project and another version in PCL project.  

 

Thanks,   

Muneesh Kumar G.

I found it:

create an App with several pages (MasterDetail in my Case) and add a SfNavigationDrawer to one Page

select the Page and open and close the Drawer

select another Page and execute Application.Current.Resources = new ResourceDictionary();

secelt the Page with the Drawer again (the same Instance!) and toggle the Drawer => Error will occoures

Hi Ma,  

 

We have analyzed the reported issue “When navigate the page and load SfNavigationDrawer, while open the drawer null reference exception occurred” in our side and we didn't face the reported issue. We have prepared the sample for your reference.  

 

Please check the below attached sample and video from below link. Can you please provide the sample for replicate this issue?

hi,

here a sample project so produce the error:

switch to the page with the Drawer and klick the Button at the Bottom to toggle the Drawer

switch back to Browser-Page

klick the Theme-Button at the top of menu-page

switch to the page with the Drawer and klick the Button at the Bottom to toggle the Drawer

if you open the Drawer by sliding no error occourcs

it is enoug to execute Application.Current.Resources res = new ResourceDictionary(); instead of changing the theme
