GridLayout.TopAlighment: Is This A Typo/Misspelling?

Question

This isn't exactly a question, more like just information. While using GridLayout.InvokeSpec, I noticed that one of the possible values looked almost definitely misspelled. Here is a screenshot:

Notice that the spelling is GridLayout.TopAlighment rather than GridLayout.TopAlignment. I also noticed that several related properties, such as GridLayout.BottomAlighment, GridLayout.LeftAlighment, and GridLayout.RightAlighment have the same misspelling. Yet the parameter type & name are GridLayout.Alignment? & alignment. Not that the code won't work with misspelled properties, but I would expect that most people prefer correctly spelled code when possible. I wasn't sure where to report this, but maybe you know.

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

Thanks for your sharing.

Yes, you are right, the correct value is Alignment, please see this InvokeSpec(Int32, Int32, GridLayout+Alignment) And the Google Native API.

You can report it in the Xamarin.Android Github with this thread:https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/issues/new/choose , choose the third one: Android API
Issues with the Android API exposed in Mono.Android.

And I will report this issue as well.

Best Regards,
