Running your app on a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Lite-CodePudding

I can't cope with running the avalonia application on raspbian lite. I am using raspberry 3b and RaspbianLite OS. I'm using this tutorial:

https://docs.avaloniaui.net/guides/deep-dives/running-on-raspbian-lite-via-drm

Sorry, but I get this error:

AXN0002 - XamlX.XamlParseException: Unable to resolve type MainView from namespace clr-namespace:AvaloniaRaspbianLiteDrm row 10, position 4

This is what my MainWindow looks like:

<Window xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"

        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

CodePudding user response：

The message is that the MainView cannot be found in the avaloniaRaspbianLiteDrm namespace.

As I can see in your example the MainView (as seen on x:Class="AvaloniaRaspbianLiteDrm.Views.MainView) is inside the AvaloniaRaspbianLiteDrm.Views namespace. You probably forgot that there is a Views namespace.

You should probably change the

xmlns:avaloniaRaspbianLiteDrm="clr-namespace:AvaloniaRaspbianLiteDrm"

xmlns:avaloniaRaspbianLiteDrm="clr-namespace:AvaloniaRaspbianLiteDrm.Views"

Make sure that the codebehind file MainView.xaml.cs also uses the AvaloniaRaspbianLiteDrm.Views namespace.
