Type cardView:CardView not found in xmlns clr-namespace:CardView;assembly=CardView

[Prajakta6]

I have added XamarinForms.CardView package in all three platforms also, the
xmlns:cardView="clr-namespace:CardView;assembly=CardView" reference to my xaml page. I'm getting following error.

Type cardView:CardView not found in xmlns clr-namespace:CardView;assembly=CardView

Could you please share a demo project having this problem so I can look into it?

Hi @tiger4589,

I have the same issue.

[tiger4589]

Hello @marcnegri
Did you add it also in the PCL?
Can you share a demo project having the same issue so I can see it? I am not able to reproduce this problem until now.

Hi,

I added Xamarin.Forms.CardView package on PCL and ios. After that,I'm trying to use it on xaml page like that :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:CardViewNewTest" xmlns:cardView="clr-namespace:CardView;assembly=CardView" x:Class="CardViewNewTest.CardViewNewTestPage"> <ScrollView> <StackLayout Padding="20" Margin="5"> <cardView:CardView CardViewHeightRequest="100" CardViewOutlineColor="Gray" CardViewOutlineColorThickness="2" CardViewHasShadow="True"> <cardView:CardView.CardViewContent> <StackLayout BackgroundColor="White"> <Label Text="Gray Outline Color with Shadow"></Label> </StackLayout> </cardView:CardView.CardViewContent> </cardView:CardView> <cardView:CardView CardViewHeightRequest="100" CardViewOutlineColor="Gray" CardViewOutlineColorThickness="2" CardViewHasShadow="True"> <cardView:CardView.CardViewContent> <StackLayout BackgroundColor="White"> <Label Text="And Another one"></Label> </StackLayout> </cardView:CardView.CardViewContent> </cardView:CardView> </StackLayout> </ScrollView> </ContentPage>

But I have the mentioned issue.

And this is weird, because I can implement cardview on Behind c# code...

@marcnegri I added your XAML now and testing. Will get back to you with any information I get.

[tiger4589]

@marcnegri I still couldn't reproduce the problem. Please share a demo app, having this problem also on Android.

Hi @tiger4589,

Do you find something regarding this issue ?

Hi, I am having the same issue adding the package on the PCL.

[sunnysonic]

same on the net project

@marcnegri
Instead of
xmlns:cardView="clr-namespace:CardView;assembly=CardView"

try:
xmlns:cardView="clr-namespace:CardView;assembly=CardViewNewTest"

[Pref412]

Looks like it's an issue related to assembly linking optimization.
Try to create an instance of CardView class somewhere at application startup, it should preserve missing assembly at linking.

I've seen solution for such cases in MVVMCross - it's a LinkerPleaseInclude.cs file.

I had to use this to get it to work
xmlns:cardView="clr-namespace:CardViewNetStandard;assembly=CardViewNetStandard"
