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

This is probably not your case but I had similar problem and mine was xaml and code behind name missmatching. for example according to your sample, if code behind namespace is XamaTest(name of your app in most cases) and class is called MyXamlPage, your xaml class name must be XamaTest.MyXamlPage ([namespace].[classname])

I was silly after creating an empty xaml with code behind, I changed name of the class in xaml and i was getting this error.

Code-behind:

public partial class MyXamlPage : ContentPage
