Invalid white space. White space cannot follow the open angle bracket character '<' in an element tag.

This error occurs when white space appears between the open angle bracket character '<' and the first character of the element tag.

This error is raised when the XAML file contains lexical elements that are not valid in XML.

Remove all white space between the '<' character and the first character of the element tag.
