打开Xamarin .axml文件时，Visual Studio 2017冻结

Question

I want to start developing .net Xamarin applications, but my VS keeps freezing when I try to open the layout files for the project, I have the latest version of VS installed and the Xamarin tools as well.

I have to use the task manager to close VS and I cannot develop at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

FIXED at the bottom (edit 2) more info

It's an issue with version 15.7.3 (to check your version go to Help -> About Microsoft Visual Studio ) and here is its page on github, I have the same problem too and apparantly many others, you can report it by going to Help -> Send Feedback -> Report a problem -> Report new problem , here is another link talking about it.

Sorry I made this an answer but I'm not allowed to comment (reputation < 50)

EDIT : according to the previous link they're in their final steps of fixing it, and a workaround for now as I have been told here

For now, here are some workaround:

• If you need to open a .axml file in VS 15.7.3, you could change its extension name to .xml then open it.

Or:

• Right-click the .axml file then use "open with" --> eg: choose XML Editor

EDIT 2 : it was finally fixed here you can download it and everything finally works as expected
