"Windows.UI.Xaml.Markup.XamlParse.Exception"

Question

WinRT information: Cannot deserialize XBF metadata property list as 'HorizontalContentAlignment' was not found in type 'null'.[Line: 0 Position: 0]

No additional information.

This error appears when I transfer my project from visual studio 2013 pro (Lenovo, Windows 10) to visual studio community 2015 (Dell, Windows 8.1). It occurs within the constructor item detail page.

Debugging thus far: Inner Exception: null, "Text associated with this error code not be found"

If I delete my edited copy of ListViewItemStyle it gives no errors.

If I add a copy of ListViewItemStyle without editing it, I still get an error.

If I delete one line of code either in the xaml item page or xaml.cs item page and add it back in immediately, it gives no error.

I have also tried adding the style to the listview instead of the listview items, still gives error.

I am concerned with this because I don't want to release the app and have it glich out.

Here's the code:

When I make an executable and run it on the Windows 8.1 pc it won't let me enter this page, but if I transfer the project to the Windows 8.1 pc and delete any line, then add it back in and make excutable with visual studio community 2015 it works. — Sam

If anyone is having the problem above I have found a solution. I was editing a copy template of ListViewItem. Instead, one should go to the definition of listViewItemExpanded and copy that template. You then can make edits from there and it no longer throws exceptions when transferring an executable from windows 10 to windows 8.1.

Once you make an executable, it will run the same on every computer (as long as it's the same architecture). You need not worry about it glitching out (at least with a compilation error like the one you're talking about).

There is a difference between a compilation error and a runtime error.

I would like to understand then when I've made an executable it doesn't work on 8.1. Also, when I transfer the project to windows 8.1 and run it in visual studio community it will say the error stated above. Yet, if I delete any line within the code and and replace it, the program works without errors... Thank you for your response.
