Answer 1

I was facing the same issue today in my Xamarin application. I tried the following things

1. Clean the solution and rebuild
2. Close Visual Studio and open again
3. Delete the obj and bin folder and rebuild the project

None of the above things worked for me. The real issue was because of that the file Resource.Designer.cs was excluded from my project and including that to the solution fixed the issue for me.

Hope it helps

Answer 2

I was so resolved (by visual studio)

1. Remove 3 line

   SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);
   EditText val1 = FindViewById<EditText>(Resource.Id.txtuser1);
   EditText val2 = FindViewById<EditText>(Resource.Id.txtuser2);
   

2. Build -> Clean

3. Build -> Rebuild
4. rewrite remove 3 line
