AvaloniaRuntimeXamlLoader.Parse throws System.InvalidCastException

[WilhelmJP]

Describe the bug

In the shared project I tried to parse a xaml string in the MainView class. The called Parse method throw an InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'XamlX.Ast.SkipXamlValueWithManipulationNode' to type 'XamlX.Ast.IXamlAstPropertyReference'. The code is:

    public MainView()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        try
        {
            var xaml = @"<ContentControl xmlns='https://github.com/avaloniaui' Content='Foo'/>";
            var target = AvaloniaRuntimeXamlLoader.Parse<ContentControl>(xaml);

        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e);
        }
    }

To Reproduce

Generate the solution with dotnet new avalonia.xplat -m CommunityToolkit -o ElvisUltra.Clients install package Avalonia.Markup.Xaml.Loader Change the MainView constructor as described. Start Debug.

Expected behavior

Should Parse without exception.

The problem was that the type Avalonia.Data.Binding could not be found. Therefore, I changed my code and added the line var _ = typeof(Binding); before the Parse method is called and everything works fine. Maybe someone knows a better solution.
