Describe the bug

I have the following code:

Code behind

   `<renderedViews:CollectionView
                          x:Name="collectionView"
                          ItemHeight="50" 
                          ItemSpacing="5">
                      <renderedViews:CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
                          <DataTemplate>
                              <Grid HeightRequest="50">

                              </Grid>
                          </DataTemplate>
                      </renderedViews:CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
    </renderedViews:CollectionView>

        private ObservableCollection<string> MyCollection { get; set; }

        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            MyCollection = new ObservableCollection<string>();

            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            {
                MyCollection.Add(i.ToString());
            }

            collectionView.ItemsSource = MyCollection;
        }`

or MVVM

     `<renderedViews:CollectionView
                          x:Name="collectionView"
                          ItemsSource="{Binding MyCollection}"
                          ItemHeight="50" 
                          ItemSpacing="5">
                      <renderedViews:CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
                          <DataTemplate>
                              <Grid HeightRequest="50">

                              </Grid>
                          </DataTemplate>
                      </renderedViews:CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
        </renderedViews:CollectionView>`

    public MainViewModel()
    {
        MyCollection = new ObservableCollection<string>();
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            MyCollection.Add(i.ToString());
        }
    }

    private ObservableCollection<string> _myCollection;
    public ObservableCollection<string> MyCollection
    {
        get => _myCollection;
        set => SetAndRaise(ref _myCollection, value);
    }`

I tried different ways via MVVM, code behind. The same exception every time.

[roubachof]

your DataTemplate view should be wrapped in a ViewCell

Thanks a lot. My ignorance :)
