Quick workaround I found, add this in your idl

void UnloadObject(Windows.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject object);

This is still reproducible with WinUI 2.8.5. Amazing to see how this seemingly a must-to-have feature got not attention.

Hi, does this issue repro in WinAppSDK? Thanks!

Yes, if the root object is a Window, that is

<Window
    ....
    <Button x:Load="{x:Bind Show, Mode=OneWay}"/>

You get

'FindName': is not a member of 'winrt::WinUI3Cpp2::MainWindow'

Thank you HO-COOH, this seems like a different issue, no? Xaml's Window is not a FrameworkElement, and doesn't have a FindName() function. See for example: 7305. Do you still see a problem with Page in WinAppSDK?

It's a differenent cause yes, but it's the same issue as the title. C# winui3 project builds fine.

IInspectable FindName(String name);

It didn't work for FindName :( https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/9842
