I have created a Xamarin forms application using .net standard. Then I added a .net standard library project to the solution that will include common codes such as renders, behaviours etc. I include the reference of common .net standard library project to the main Xamarin forms project by right clicking on dependencies and Edit References menu. Finally I try to include the namespace of renderer files on the content page of main Xamarin forms by specifying the below line using Xamarin.Forms;
namespace MyProject.Shared.Renderer
{
public class ExtendedEntry : Entry
{
public static readonly BindableProperty IsBorderErrorVisibleProperty = BindableProperty.Create(nameof(IsBorderErrorVisible), typeof(bool), typeof(ExtendedEntry),
false, BindingMode.TwoWay);
public bool IsBorderErrorVisible
{
get { return (bool)GetValue(IsBorderErrorVisibleProperty); }
set { SetValue(IsBorderErrorVisibleProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly BindableProperty BorderErrorColorProperty = BindableProperty.Create(nameof(BorderErrorColor), typeof(Color), typeof(ExtendedEntry),
null, BindingMode.TwoWay);
public Color BorderErrorColor
{
get { return (Color)GetValue(BorderErrorColorProperty); }
set { SetValue(BorderErrorColorProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly BindableProperty ErrorTextProperty = BindableProperty.Create(nameof(ErrorText), typeof(string), typeof(ExtendedEntry), string.Empty,
BindingMode.TwoWay);
public string ErrorText
{
get { return (string)GetValue(ErrorTextProperty); }
set { SetValue(ErrorTextProperty, value); }
}
}
}
xmlns:controls=“clr-namespace:MyProject.Shared.Renderer:assembly:MyProject.Shared”
Then I reference the control as
<controls:ExtendedEntry />
But this gives build error that says ExtendedEntry is not found in the assembly MyProject.Shared
Please help
Sorry...I had done blunder...a real blunder.
I typed ":" instead of "=" in assembly attribute.
It should be xmlns:controls=“clr-namespace:MyProject.Shared.Renderer:assembly=MyProject.Shared”
