Issues with OnBoarding

[Hipólito]

Hi to all,

I'm trying to use OnBoarding but I'm getting some issues:

1-Compilation errors like:

...cannot convert from 'MyPrj.Views.Onboarding.OnBoardingAnimationPage' to 'Xamarin.Forms.Page' (CS1503) (MyPrj)

... Error CS0103: The name 'InitializeComponent' does not exist in the current context (CS0103) (XamarinHolidayChallenge)

This is the code in the OnBoarding class:

    [Preserve(AllMembers = true)]

    [XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)]

    public partial class OnBoardingAnimationPage 

    {

        /// <summary>

        /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="OnBoardingAnimationPage" /> class.

        /// </summary>

        public OnBoardingAnimationPage()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

        }

    }

I tried to inherit from ContentPage to solve these issues, application compile and run but I don't see anything (don't show anything) in the simulator. 

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

 Hi Hipolito,

Thanks Yuvaraj,

Sample works successfully. I tested with Xamarin Form 4.2.0.x and with latest 4.4.0.991265

I did reproduce the problem and appears this issue happen when I add other form from UI Essential Kit, if I use only one project compile and work successfully:

-New Solution -> Blank Form (in this point Xamarin Forms Version is 4.2.0.x)

-Essential UI Kit for Xamarin Forms -> I choose OnBoarding and check Walk-through Page -> Add

-In this point I can compile and show up the form correctly

-I updated Xamarin Forms to 4.4.0.991265

-Compile and run successfully.

-Then Essential UI Kit for Xamarin Forms -> I choose Forms and check Simple Login Page -> Add

-After this if I try to compile I got the error: Error CS0103: The name 'InitializeComponent' does not exist in the current context (CS0103)

Happen the same if I add first Login Page and then OnBoarding

Syncfusion version is 17.3.0.34 

UKit 1.0.0.0

Visual Studio for Mac Community (8.3.11).

What can I do?

Regards.

Hi Hipolito, 

 

We suspect this issue is caused by a bug in Visual Studio for MAC. Please refer the below link for that issue in Visual Studio for MAC forum.  

https://github.com/mhutch/MonoDevelop.AddinMaker/issues/78  

We have already documented the same with the below link in ‘TroubleShooting’ section. 

https://www.syncfusion.com/xamarin-holiday-challenge/xamarin-holiday-challenge-mac  

To work-around this issue until the issue is resolved in the Visual Studio for MAC, we must remove some XML tags manually from the .NET Standard project file. Please refer the following screenshot for the same. We must delete any relevant tags like the one in the below.  

 

 

Please try this and let us know whether this helps. So that we can proceed further in this.
