Angular 2 @ViewChild returns undefined

I\'ve looked at several related posts and documentation, but still can\'t seem to get expected behavior from @ViewChild.

Ultimately, I\'m trying to set the scroll p

Another possible scenario is when you are using typescript in angular or ionic framework and calling the ViewChild element from a function having javascript like signature. Please use a typescript like function signature instead (e.g. using fat arrow =>). For example

accessViewChild(){
    console.log(this.galleryContainer.nativeElement.innerHTML);
}

would show print undefined however

accessViewChild = ()=>{
    console.log(this.galleryContainer.nativeElement.innerHTML);
}

would print the inner html.
