Tried to Build #5

Granted I'm new to Xamarin. I have had Xamarin on my machine for some time, and wanted to build with it. But as your project is in disrepair (it blows up after attempting to load docs, it has been in disrepair on/off a lot over the years...) I thought I would tinker with it myself. But I'm having trouble finding some references that are not included. I'm assuming I can just dump 'ICSharpCode', that I'm getting an error on. I'm guessing that is because your're using Visual Studio, and I'm being cheap and wanting to use the actual Xamarin to build. It won't let me add that package. But I wonder if I actually need it anyway.
I did find another GIT to 'SlidingMenuBinding', but I have to figure out how to add it. It does not add just by 'AddPackage'. And I'm not sure about 'ParseBinding' or 'StickyGridHeadersBinding' - Those all I'm getting a reference error on.

OK I see StickyGridHeadersBinding... I'll keep searching around. I did get my device to start working with a lot of hacking and backup with a another working device. But others I'm sure are just completely hosed. It is my intention to see if I can start building this project, and see what I can do with it.

I'm getting farther with visual studio and adding dlls that I find manually. But I can't find "parsebinding". I'm getting plenty of other build errors.

robertkjr3d commented 9 years ago

Parsebinding is in Xamarin. So got that, but still many troubles. Part of the issues may be due to: I'm adding in newer versions. I keep getting errors such as: Assembly found in both 'dll' and 'dll'. But the standard way to fix that issue is already implented.

Oh, even after adding in 'Parse'. I had to go through the entire code to change all the references from 'Xamarin.Parse to 'Parse', and some of the calls are different. The developer actually built his own wrapper it appears, but that is not included in the available source control. A few of the 'wrappers' for the project are not available. But I still hold out hope, that I may be able to resolve the build issues.

Btw... There are no 'Try-Catch' Blocks, as we all might have suspected. That is why when a bug happens, it goes 'boom'.
