Can't compile Style if I define TargetType as {x:Type buttons:SfButton} instead of buttons:SfButton when VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups defined


I can't compile and Visual Studio tell me this:

Cannot convert value"BackgroundColor" to "Xamarin.Forms.BindableProperty".(XFC0040)


My code is the next:

<Style x:Key="BaseButton" TargetType="{x:Type buttons:SfButton}">
    <Setter Property="TextColor" Value=#F1F1F1" />
    <Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="#F5AF27" />
    <Setter Property="VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups">
        <VisualStateGroupList>
            <VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
                <VisualState x:Name="Normal">
                    <VisualState.Setters>
                        <Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="#F5AF27" />
                    </VisualState.Setters>
                </VisualState>
                <VisualState x:Name="Disabled">
                    <VisualState.Setters>
                        <Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="#33F5AF27" />
                    </VisualState.Setters>
                </VisualState>
            </VisualStateGroup>
        </VisualStateGroupList>
    </Setter>
</Style>


I'm doing something wrong or may be is a bug?

Hi Asier,

 

Query: Cannot compile Style when TargetType is defined as {x:Type buttons:SfButton} instead of buttons:SfButton

 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support.

 

Style cannot be compiled in  {x:Type buttons:SfButton} because x:Type is used to set attribute System.Type object. And also similar error issue occured in Button control. So kindly use the control explicitly like buttons: SfButton to apply style.

 

We have attached a sample for your reference. Kindly refer to the sample and please let us know if you need any other details.

 

Regards,
Shivani

Thank you for your response. I wanted to use {x:Type xxx} because I thought that it was the better way to do it because I believed that it was more detailed for the compiler.

If it's not too much to ask, could you pass me any page where explain diferences between use a Type or directly the control for the Style?


Thanks a lot.
