Getting "System.NotSupportedException: Path Operation c" when trying to load a SVG

[Firlefanz]

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your library :-)

I was using Xam.Plugins.Forms.Svg before. But it often throws a get_DtdInfo error and is not stable and no issue answered. So I found your library here and tried to use it for my Project.

My Project is an existing xamarin shared Project. In order to have all resources in one place I added an additional pcl assembly. In this one I added my resources (svg).

Each time I try to use it in xaml I get an error here in your SVGImage.cs LoadSvgFromResource:
var r = new SvgReader(new StreamReader(svgStream));
raises the exception "System.NotSupportedException: Path Operation c".

All my svg Images are added to the additional assembly as embedded Content. It worked in the other SVG.
The Xaml Looks like this:
<abstractions:SvgImage BackgroundColor="#FF884444" BindingContext="{x:Reference Test}" SvgAssembly="{Binding SvgAssembly}" SvgPath="{Binding SvgImage}" HeightRequest = "50" WidthRequest = "50" Grid.Column="0"/>

Binding SVGAssembly holds the additional assembly with all resources.
SVGImage binds to a complete path to the additional assembly like "MyClient_Resources.Resources.Icons.ic_call_48px.svg".

Any idea what's wrong? I am using the free SVG Images from Google "Material-design-icons-1.0.0".

Thanks a lot!

I tried to remove the additional assembly Name from all resources names in the xaml (at the beginning).

"Resources.Icons.ic_call_48px.svg"

I then get the error message:
System.Exception: Error retrieving Resources.Icons.ic_call_48px.svg make sure Build Action is Embedded Resource

It is Embedded Resource, I think it just cannot be found now.

Or is it the SVG I am using? It is one of the free Google SVGs:

If I copy your Logo SVG into my SVG it works. Any Change to get it working with the Standard Google SVGs? Or what do I have to Change in the SVG?

Thanks a lot :-)

I am getting this also with Android svg images. It appears to be coming from NGraphics.

This is likely because the underlying NGraphics version does not support SVGO, which is unfortunate. As a workaround, if you're on a mac and have Sketch, you can open existing svg files and export them as svg, and these will work with the current version of NGraphics.
