PLEASE READ UNTIL THE END.
I tried using SfPopupLayout control (17.2.0.51) in a Xamarin UWP application and it threw an exception.
1. To be sure it wasn't a problem in my code I created a BARE PAGE with only the SfPopupLayout and the
exception was still happening. It was a default SfPopupLayout. No properties or anything was changed.
2. I tried both using it as a root view and as a popup on the go. Both failed.
3. So, I went on to figure out were in the SfPopupLayout's IL the problem was occurring.
4. It turns out that the SfPopupLayout is trying to use System.Convert.ToByte() with a value of 20400. That's not a byte!
5. The value of 20400 comes from a calculation using PopupView.PopupStyle.OverlayOpacity. I did not set it to any
value in My code! So, it comes from the SfPopupLayout's code.
6. The problem is the PopupView.PopupStyle.OverlayOpacity has a value of 80!
7. The exception occurs because of the code in the SfPopupLayout ApplyBackgroundColor method.
The code is this, PopupView.PopupStyle.OverlayOpacity * (double) byte.MaxValue
Which translates to this, 80 * 255 = 20400.
8. It seems that the only valid value for PopupView.PopupStyle.OverlayOpacity would be 0 or 1
9. BELOW LISTED IS THE EXCEPTION AND A WORK-AROUND I CREATED TO PROVE THIS PROBLEM.
THE WORK-AROUND MAKES THE EXCEPTION NOT OCCUR.
NOTE THAT THE WORKAROUND IS FOR XAML. I COULDN'T GET A WORK-AROUND TO WORK AT
ALL FOR A POPUP ON THE GO.
10. I hope I've given enough information to re-create. If I've gotten something wrong or I'm mistaken please
let me know.
Thanks
