Change your namespace in your shell from:

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MPC_MassPropertiesCalculator_MAUIapp"

To this:

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MPC_MassPropertiesCalculator_MAUIapp.Views"

Basically if you wanna refer a View in your XAML you need to have its exact namespace and then the name of your View.

final fix is xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MPC_MassPropertiesCalculator_MAUIapp", xmlns:page="clr-namespace:MPC_MassPropertiesCalculator_MAUIapp.Views" ..... ContentTemplate="{DataTemplate page:TestView}" ..... – Jean-Marc Flamand Oct 19 '22 at 13:42

As mentioned, you can update the name of the local namespace or define a new one.

For example, add this to the Shell

xmlns:mynamespace="clr-namespace:MPC_MassPropertiesCalculator_MAUIapp.Views" and then you can use it with

<FlyoutItem Title="test" FlyoutIcon="List">
        <ShellContent
        Title="Test Page"
        ContentTemplate="{DataTemplate mynamespace:TestView}"
        Route="TestView" />
</FlyoutItem>
