StaticResource into MarkupExtension
I'm currently trying to use a static resource with an extension for my entry's FontSize property. I have this code piece of code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

</AbsoluteLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>
Where extension:FontSize is coming from :
[ContentProperty("FontSize")]
public class FontSizeExtension : IMarkupExtension
{
public double FontSize { get; set; }
public object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
return Services.Sizing.FontSizeAdapter(FontSize);
}
}
Sizing.cs
public class Sizing
{
public static double FontSizeAdapter(double fontSize)
{
switch (Device.RuntimePlatform)
{
case "Android":
return (fontSize / 2);
case "iOS":
return fontSize;
case "Windows":
case "WinPhone":
return fontSize;
default:
return fontSize;
}
}
}
However, when I do FontSize="{extention:FontSize {x:StaticResource EntryFontSize}}" it throws an exception that says that the value cannot be null.. How can I use the both at the same time? I mean the x:StaticResource and the Extension
Thank !

1. Ensure prefix is correctly defined and used
Make sure to check the namespace provided for prefix is correct for your markup extension, and that there is no spelling mistake while specifying the prefix. This should resolve the 'Value cannot be null' error.
2. Specify property name while using nested markup-extensions
The property-name of extension needs to be specified while using nested markup-extension. Otherwise, my tests show, it is treated as a string value and assigned to default content property. This should resolve the error 'Input string was not in a correct format'.
Solution-1: Specify property-name
<control:CustomEntry
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0.5, 0.5, 1, 1"
AbsoluteLayout.Flags="All"
...
FontSize="{extension:FontSize FontSize={x:StaticResource EntryFontSize}}"
.../>
Solution-2: You can simplify this further by adding a StaticResourceKey property in markup extension:
[ContentProperty("FontSize")]
public class FontSizeExtension : IMarkupExtension
{
public double FontSize { get; set; }
public string StaticResourceKey { get; set; }
public object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
if (serviceProvider == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(serviceProvider));
if (StaticResourceKey != null)
{
var staticResourceExtension = new StaticResourceExtension { Key = StaticResourceKey };
FontSize = (double)staticResourceExtension.ProvideValue(serviceProvider);
}
return Services.Sizing.FontSizeAdapter(FontSize);
}
}
and usage can be:
...
FontSize="{extension:FontSize StaticResourceKey=EntryFontSize}}"
...
