Xamarin Studio update to 6 - xamarin-studio

last night Xamarin Studio is updated to version 6 (build 5174). When I want to play a project, Xamarin is building the project without doing anything. I tried to wait one hour with the same result.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Also encountering an issue but to open my solution.
Seems many bugs shown up since this release...
You should file a bug to the bug report Cycle 7 : https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/newbug?release=C7
The related update topic : http://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/68358/stable-release-cycle-7-feature-release/p1

I can't say, I fixed it but now it's working.
I launched an old Xamarin setup (4). It checked something and said "Nothing to install". I opened Xamarin Studio and now it's working fine.

MAUI XAML "Window Inspector" no longer visible since updating to 17.3

Sorry for using some made up term but I have no idea what this little menu is called. So I referred to it as "Window Inspector"
I have 2 systems opening the same project, one is 17.3 preview 6 and the other is 17.3.2.
On the preview version I can see this menu when I debug my MAUI app in Windows. I cannot see it on the 17.3.2 release, which seems to also be part of a wider debugging issue that I'm experiencing.
Any idea how to fix this? Maybe I have changed a setting somewhere but am not aware of what.
Thanks in advance!

About XAML.Forms Previewer in VS2015

In VS2015 U3 if I try to use XAM.Forms Previewer the interface is empty and have only the "Android Phone" message without my XAML user interface.
I tried to rebuild the solution but the preview still doesn't works!
Whats happened?
Thanks in advance.
To be honest, XAML Previewer still has alot of issues with Visual Studio 2015. I'm encountering the same problem and I just followed the steps from an official Xamarin blogpost. There are workarounds shared by other developers, but it didn't work for me. See link.
But, I'd suggest you try out Gorilla Player. It's an instant Xamarin Forms XAML Previewer. You can also simultaneously view the design without compiling.
Hope it helps!

Xcode 8 crashes on storyboard view and displays only blue outlines around views

I have Updated Xcode yesterday from version 7 to version 8.1 overnight and deleted the xcode 8.0 beta that i had!
Today I tried to Open all my projects, and when I go to the storyboard, I get the following Error..
An internal Error Occured. Editing Functionality may be limited. Report a Bug (which I did).
The project that I opened, does not use size classes or autolayout.
I have searched many questions on the net, which pointed that the problem is caused by projects without autolayout. or suggested that i clean xcode, simulator, deleted derived data folder.. all without success..
I also tried saving the storyboard as an Xcode7x file with no success..
Finally I tried creating a new SingleView Application and added a UIButton to it.. (while using size classes, autolayout..) still the same.. so it's definitely an Xcode Bug issue.. Not an autolayout incompatibility problem.
any hints?
p.s. compiling the project will actually run great, and all ui elements will show as intended. I don't have Xcode7 installed anymore.. any suggestions?
I can not reproduce the crashe, but I could fix messed up UI by setting up the following under Editor menu -> Canvas:
It was fixed when i updated xcode!

Windows Phone 8.1 XAML: Pull down to refresh

I have been a lot of time looking an way to do "pull down to refresh" in a ScrollViewer or a ListBox, ListViewer... whathever.
The problem is that there is no way to do that in Windows 8.1, I've find some solutions for W7 or even W8, but not for W8.1, and no, there's no way to adapt that jobs to W8.1.
Any knows any way to do this behaviour?
Thank you.

I could not compile the one suggested by Ateik. Would be fine if solving the problems, it looks promising but at the moment it has some errors: Syntax Error found in XBF generation
The only working solution I found is using Teleriks RadDataBoundListBox: http://www.telerik.com/windows-universal-ui/databoundlistbox
I've created a simple control that implements the "Pull to refresh" feature, and the "Load data on demand", you can find it in nuget, read about it from this blog post. Works on both Windows 8 & Windows Phone 8.1

ReportViewer Drillthrough "Stopped" Working

We're using Reportviewer and rdlc files in our application. I had drillthroughs working fine and we put the app on the backburner to work on other projects. Now that the Users wanted a new build I revisited the app and tested with a new password in the connection string. To my surprise the Drillthroughs no longer work. To my further surprise I can't even click on the textbox that fires the drillthrough. I checked TFS and there have been no changes to the Report definition or the ViewModel that handles the Drillthrough. All I changed were the connection strings.
If anyone can point me in the right direction on how to figure this one out I'll be very happy.
I figured this out if anyone else is interested. I installed Visual Studio SP1 which apparently causes a few issues with ReportViewer.
Hi we have had the same problem and finally found a hotfix which works. You only need to download the file VS10SP1-KB2549864-x86.exe . Install and try again. Should work.
