Xamarin.Forms - InitializeComponent doesn't exist when creating a new page

Question

I\'m using Visual Studio to try out Xamarin.Forms. I\'m trying to follow the guide: http://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/xamarin-forms/xaml-for-xamarin-forms/getti

Answer 1

I get this sometimes and here's the checklist that solved them so far:

1. Make sure the namespace in .xaml and .xaml.cs match

2. Inherit from the correct parent - ContentPage for a page and ContentView for a control

3. Set build action of the .xaml file to Embedded Resource if in the shared project.
