The app was crashing with a
NullReferenceExceptionwhen requesting messages from the bot on both Android and Windows platforms. The error occurred inUserMessageItemTemplate.BorderText_SizeChangedat line 27 when trying to access_parentGrid.Width.Root Cause:
The
_parentGridfield is only initialized in theParentGrid_SizeChangedevent handler, butBorderText_SizeChangedcan be triggered before this event fires, leaving_parentGridnull when accessed.Solution:
Added defensive null checks in both
UserMessageItemTemplateandBotMessageItemTemplatebefore accessing_parentGrid.Width:Testing:
NullReferenceException_parentGridis properly initializedThis fix ensures the app no longer crashes when users send messages to the bot while maintaining all existing functionality.
Fixes #6.
