Xamarin Studio creates files with wrong namespace

Question

i'm currently using Xamarin Studio and i'm developing an app with the MvvmCross framework.

My issue is that, when I try to create a new file in my folder named "Views", the namespace does not contain the ".Views".

I have Xamarin.Client.iOS instead of Xamarin.Client.iOS.Views. So the MvvmCross framework doesn't find my views and return a KeyNotFoundException : could not find view for [MyViewModel]

I wonder if XCode modified my namespaces because my app worked well and now it can't find the views.

I guess it's a namespace problem but not really sure. The fact is my "View" files are not in the ".Views" namespace while they are in the "Views" folder.

How can I create my Views with the good namespace ? Because changing it in the .cs and .designer.cs file does not fix the KeyNotFoundException...

If you have any idea...

I would doubt that the `KeyNotFoundException` was caused by the wrong namespace - it's more likely to be caused by wrong base class, missing constructor or some other problem. If something changed, is there any way you can identify what it was - e.g. looking over a source control diff? — Stuart, Jun 27 '14 at 12:27

In Xamarin Studio, Preferences --> Source Code --> .NET Naming Policies

Check "Associate namespaces with directory names" if you want your classes to include the folder name in the namespace by default.

Thank you so much. This was driving me nuts, especially with auto-generated .resx files. – Eugen Timm Feb 03 '15 at 08:09
