Yes. The type that you specify in the FindViewById<T>() call must be the class
or a base class of the type specified in the XML. If your XML uses <EditText/>,
then you need to use FindViewById<EditText>() or some base class of EditText
(e.g. View).
Thus, if you want to use an EditTextEx, you must use EditTextEx in the .axml:
http://docs.xamarin.com/android/getting_started/hello_glcube?highlight=element#Activity_Startup
It's somewhat obtuse (we need better docs here), but to use a custom type in
your .axml you need to use the fully qualified _Java_ ACW name of your type,
which is (usually) the lower-cased namespace and your normal type name:
<your.namespace.here.EditTextEx />
If you're not sure what the package name is, after a build look within the
obj\Debug\android\src directory for the EditTextEx.java file, and use the value
of the `package` statement.
