Telerik Ui Controls causing exception

[tyler]

Hello i seem to have ran in to another problem,whenever i put a telerik control into xaml code i can get the code to compile but get a runtime error of XamlParseException at the LoadFromXaml function call.All telerik libraries are referenced,what could it be?Thanks

[global::Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.XamlFilePathAttribute("C:\\Users\\ty\\Source\\repos\\TelerikXamarinApp2\\TelerikXamarinApp2\\Portable\\StartPage" +
       ".xaml")]
   public partial class StartPage : global::Xamarin.Forms.ContentPage {

       [global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("Xamarin.Forms.Build.Tasks.XamlG", "0.0.0.0")]
       private void InitializeComponent() {
           global::Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.Extensions.LoadFromXaml(this, typeof(StartPage));
       }
   }

Unhandled Exception:

Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.XamlParseException: <Timeout exceeded getting exception details> occurred

Hello Tyler,

The timeout is unrelated to the controls, but the XamlParseException is mostly likely because you forgot to enable XAML Compilation (aka XamlC) or give custom controls an x:Name (see this section in the Troubleshooting article).

This is a known limitation of Xamarin.Forms on iOS when the custom controls are in an external library, not just Telerik controls. The iOS linker will optimize out any code that isn't referenced.

The fix is simple give each control an x:Name (this is rather inconvenient), or enable XamlC on the entire project so that all XAML-instantiated controls are included.

using Xamarin.Forms.Xaml;

[assembly: XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)]
namespace YourProjectNamsepace
{
    public partial class App
    {
        public App()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

If you have any further trouble, please open a support ticket here and attach your code so that we can investigate further.
