Custom Drawable objects in xeto/xaml

[Sonderwoods]

Hi,

I've tried to make a CustomButton from @cwensley 's gist somewhere in here as an attempt to jump into custom Drawables, but I couldn't find any examples on how to do this in Eto/xaml.

When I try to reference it with the eto.serialization xeto methods.

In my xaml I did make a namespace reference to "e" and refered in the code as <e:CustomButton x:name="MyButton"> and in my xeto.cs file I have a protected CustomButton MyButton {get;set;}

I'm getting the following exception at runtime.

CustomButton cannot be cast to CustomButton.

Any clues?

This was a general xaml mistake in my setup;
I changed order of the xaml main (dialog) element to reference the xmlns before referring to my own class:

	xmlns="http://schema.picoe.ca/eto.forms"
	xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
	xmlns:e="clr-namespace:MantaRay.Components.Controls" 
	x:Class="MantaRay.Components.Views.LoginView"

and also changed my xeto.cs class to be partial .
