Xamarin.Forms ImageSource = Device.OnPlatform obsolete

Question

I am using a sample from Xamarin called "TableView for a form" to test an app and came across an obsolete section, ImageSource = Device.OnPlatform which is now replaced with a switch statement. No problems here and plenty of information however, I have a peculiar problem and can not see the issue.

The code I am adding is currently commented out in below source and will compile fine this way, without the image of course. If I remove the commented section, I get an error on line 35, missing }. If I highlight the curly brace just below the last break it is aware of its match, switch(). If I highlight the open curly brace just below that, it thinks it is part of Public SearchPage() at the top. Something in the switch is causing problems but I just can't see it.

I am hoping someone has run into this and may have an answer. Let me know if you need more detail.

I wanted to post the exact code I am using to replace the sample provided by Xamarin for the Forms Gallery --> 'TableView for a form'.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

using Xamarin.Forms;

                Text = "TableView for a form",
                FontSize = 30,
                FontAttributes = FontAttributes.Bold,
                HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center

            TableView tableView = new TableView
