When developing in Xamarin Forms if I will make a mistake in XAML syntax, I receive an error like this: "The application is in break mode. Unhandled exception: Specified cast is not valid"
Here is an example how to produce such an error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="Test.Views.ItemsPage"
Title="{Binding Title}"
x:Name="BrowseItemsPage">
<ContentPage.Content>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ListView Padding="0,30,0,0" Grid.Row="0" x:Name="ItemsListView"
ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
HasUnevenRows="true">
<ListView.Header>
<Label Text="Unread messages: 3"/>
</ListView.Header>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<!--<ViewCell>-->
<StackLayout Padding="10">
<Label Text="{Binding Text}"
LineBreakMode="NoWrap"
Style="{DynamicResource ListItemTextStyle}"
FontSize="16" />
<Label Text="{Binding Description}"
LineBreakMode="NoWrap"
Style="{DynamicResource ListItemDetailTextStyle}"
FontSize="13" />
</StackLayout>
<!--</ViewCell>-->
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Grid>
</ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>
As you can see, I have just commented out ViewCell tags. In practice, this error happens very often when you will break something in XAML syntax and the exception tells completely nothing. Is there a way to catch this exception and see details. Because when I have some complicated XAML it takes some time to detect which change in code produced that exception. I would be grateful for any help
