SkinManagerExtension shows as invalid markup extension type in XAML editor

[David Frischknecht]

I'm using the SfSkinManager component in my project and I've noticed that when I set a theme in XAML, the editor marks "SkinManagerExtension" as an invalid markup extension type as shown in the screenshot below.  The project builds and runs without any errors, so this isn't a showstopping issue.

Edit:  I forgot to mention I'm using Visual Studio 2019 and .NET 5.

Hi David  

 

Thank you for using our Syncfusion products. 

 

We have checked the reported behavior with SkinManager using our simple sample and observed that SkinManagerExtension is correctly referred at our end. We are unable to suspect what might cause this at your end. Please find the sample for your reference below: 

 

Sample: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/skinmanager_net197560161 

 

So kindly make sure all assemblies are correctly referred in your application and also let us know whether you set Specific version as false for all your assemblies. It would be helpful for us to proceed on this further.

Hello,

I downloaded and opened the sample project you mentioned and I'm seeing the same behavior.  See the screenshot below.

Hi David,  

 

Thank you for your update. 

 

However on opening the reported sample, we could observe that SkinManagerExtension is able to observe it without any warning error. So we suspect , it might due to the assembly not referred properly at the time of opening the designer page, so only you have faced this warning error. 

 

 

 

So kindly ensure it by referring all nuget package are common in product version and also if possible kindly share your sample that you are facing this warning error, it might help us to trace the exact cause of the reported problem at our end. 

 

Please let us know if you need any other assistance on this

Hi Richard 

 

Thank you for using Syncfusion Support. 

 

We have checked the reported behavior related with SkinManager and observed that this type of warning error are not faced at our end. However the Theme property has been introduced in 18.3.0.35v , so when you use the previous versions of this version, then you will face this following error: 

 

 

 

 

 

So we are unable to understand what might cause this error since it is working fine at our end with our lastly provided sample. So as requested , kindly ensure it by referring all nuget package are same of product version and also if possible kindly share your sample and share your currently using syncfusion product version that you are facing this warning error. It would be very helpful for us to trace the exact cause of the reported problem at our end. In order to avoid further delays, we can set up a web meeting session to check this error at your environment. So kindly let us know your availability, we would make every effort to schedule this meeting at your convenient time.

I have the same error and I'm using the last nuget version.

Plus your comment make no sense " if possible kindly share your sample and share your currently using syncfusion product version that you are facing this warning error."

You have furnished a sample which is supposed to work, but it doesn't, nor on his side nor on mine...   sending a sample wouldn't change anything... start by creating a new env without anything in GAC, there is no reason you cannot reproduce it...
