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 have met this problem. It's associated with the encoding of XAML files in VS. I'm using VS2015.

I solved this problem as follows:

1. Open the *.xaml file in the project and click Save button. (There will be applying the correct encoding in VS2015).

2. Then reopen the project and rebuild it. Now there are no errors.
