Error: Specified cast is not valid. Xaml - xamarin

I have a xaml, which has a grid with listview and button, and at the
moment of compiling this error appears:
Error: Specified cast is not valid.
I think the problem may be in the listview that is inside the grid, but I have not really been able to find a solution
this is my xaml:

The problem
Generally these sort of error you might find while working with data binding. While we are trying to bind a different type with some controls which the complier is not exactly expecting.
There are few places I could find the binding little odd -
ClassId="{Binding IdContacto}"
I am not sure whether you are binding correctly or not. If I were you I would have removed all the ClassId bindings and then go ahead with build compiling the process.
Also I would try to comment out the OnPlatform code and build/compile/Run the project.
These are some long shots which you may try. After looking at the whole Stacktrace may be we will be able to diagnose more towards the exact issue.

Xamarin The property 'Content' is set more than once

I have a problem. I want to make a custom header, so I created this stacklayout:
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="Start" HeightRequest="50" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand">
<Image HorizontalOptions="Start" Source="Logo.png"/>
<Image HorizontalOptions="Start" Source="Title_Dark.png"/>
</StackLayout>
Now I want to put it above the following code:
<ContentPage.Content>
<ListView x:Name="ListViewMain" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" BackgroundColor="#212121" SelectionMode="None">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>

</Grid>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</ContentPage.Content>
But when I put it right under the <ContentPage.Content> tag, it gives the following error:
The property 'Content' is set more than once
When I put it above the <ContentPage.Content> tag, my whole screen is the header.
How can I fix this?
Content can only have ONE child element. If you want to have multiple child elements, you need to place them inside of a layout container (Grid, StackLayout, etc)

But now I want to add a line above the first Label tag. To create the line I want I use this code:
<Label HeightRequest="1" BackgroundColor="#E3E3E3" />
But I don't know where to put it and how, because it is a Grid. I want to add it before the Grid, but that gives me the error:
The property 'View' is set more than once.
What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this?
I would use a BoxView instead of a Label. You could use this layout, placing the BoxView in the same Row as the Label, but vertically aligned
the other things you could try
add another row to the Grid for the BoxView
place the Grid inside of a StackLayout with the BoxView

Xamarin Forms CollectionView Horizontal items overlapping on ios

We've got an simple collection view for horizontal items. See code below.

<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Padding="10">

HorizontalOptions="Center"
Grid.Row="1"
Text="{Binding Title}"
FontAttributes="Bold"

</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>
On android this works great and I've got items stand neatly next to each other. On iOS the items are overlapping each other. Cannot find why this doesn't work on iOS.

And in .cs Page code i am adding cart icon in toolbar item.
ToolbarItems.Add(new ToolbarItem("Add Product", "floating", async () =>
{
//var page = new ContentPage();
//var result = await page.DisplayAlert("Title", "Message", "Accept", "Cancel");
await Navigation.PushAsync(new CreateProductPage() { Title = Helper.GetResxNameByValue("CreateProduct") });
//Debug.WriteLine("success: {0}", result);
}));
As per design i have added cart button as floating button. Please do not consider that.
To add badge on toolbar item you can hide the default tool bar by using NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this, false); then you can create your own tool bar with button having badge counter and hamburger to show and hide side menu.
On page in which hamburger button is clicked:
private void Button_Clicked(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
MessagingCenter.Send(this, "presnt");
}
On MasterDetail page:
MessagingCenter.Subscribe<YourPage>(this, "presnt", (sender) =>
{
IsPresented = true;
});
Also, Before making IsPresented=true, check for sliding menu is not all-ready presented.
you can check https://github.com/LeslieCorrea/Xamarin-Forms-Shopping-Cart this link for more information. But by using this method in android may make the nav bar appear below tabs, so you may need to create tabs using buttons.

How to expand StackLayout inside Grid in Xamarin Forms?

I have Xamarin Forms app. My page bottom should look like this:
Currently it looks like this:
Problem is that StackLayout doesn't expand to fill space. Here is my xaml:
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="End" Spacing="0" >
<Grid ColumnSpacing="0" RowSpacing="0" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="40" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" BackgroundColor="Blue" >
<Label Text="First" TextColor="#FFFFFF" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" />
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" BackgroundColor="Red" >
<Label Text="Second" TextColor="#FFFFFF" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" />
</StackLayout>
</Grid>
</StackLayout>
How can I expand StackLayout inside Grid? I would like that blue and red backgrounds touch in the middle.
You set the StackLayouts to CenterAndExpand, which means they will only take up as much room as they need. You should FillAndExpand them like:
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="End" Spacing="0" >
<Grid ColumnSpacing="0" RowSpacing="0" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="40" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" BackgroundColor="Blue" >
<Label Text="First" TextColor="#FFFFFF" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" />
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" BackgroundColor="Red" >
<Label Text="Second" TextColor="#FFFFFF" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" />
</StackLayout>
</Grid>
</StackLayout>
I know its an old thread - just stumbled on this as part of trying to solve the same problem.
"FillAndExpand" isn't the magic bullet however. You can see in this code that every nested element including the Grid is set to FillAndExpand, yet there's not expanding taking place.
