Xamarin VS2022 Member not found in DataContext only at compile time-CodePudding

(Note I am commenting out everything inside the starting from <!--<ListView.ItemTemplate>)

If I take out the comment block and try to run the code I get the compiler error "

Member not found in DataContext XFC0045 Binding: Property "SyllabusNumber" not found on "ViewModels.FlightViewModel"
".

Note: Not just SyllabusNumber, any field will fail but it only catches on the first.

If I run it with the code commented out the app will start and show me a list of object.tostring() text items "models.LessonModel". While the app is running I then un-comment the code and use the Hot Reload and everything is working fine.

The window's DataContext is set to the ViewModel and Lessons is a public ObservableCollection in the VM. All other bindings to the VM are working fine and as expected. I have set all access modifiers to 'public'. I have tried it in VS2022 and VS2022 Preview.

CodePudding user response：

remove the x:DataType attribute from the XAML. For some reason doing this for the overall page creates problems with templated controls that have their own context.
