In a UWP-Windows 10 C#/XAML app using Template10, I'm currently trying to have my pages/views inherit from a base class that inherits from Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Page.
This has been working correctly, however when I try to make the base class generic, and include a type argument in the child class and the XAML in the following way, it does not work:
namespace App.Views
{
public abstract class InfoListViewBase<M> : Page where M : InfoListViewModelBase
{
public InfoListViewBase() { }
}
public sealed partial class ModelPage : InfoListViewBase<Model>
{
public Model()
{
InitializeComponent();
NavigationCacheMode = NavigationCacheMode.Disabled;
}
}
}
<local:InfoListViewBase
x:Class="App.Views.ModelPage"
x:TypeArguments="l:Model"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:Behaviors="using:Template10.Behaviors"
xmlns:Core="using:Microsoft.Xaml.Interactions.Core"
xmlns:Interactivity="using:Microsoft.Xaml.Interactivity"
xmlns:controls="using:Template10.Controls"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:local="using:App.Views"
xmlns:l="using:Library"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d">
</local:InfoListViewBase>
The error I receive is:
The name "InfoListViewBase`1" does not exist in the namespace "using:App.Views".
The error shows up every time I add the line x:TypeArguments="l:Model" to the XAML.
Multiple rebuilds, cleans, etc., in visual studio have not solved the problem.
Is there something I am doing wrong in the implementation of the generic in XAML?
