I'm trying to use a custom font (Roboto by Google) in a clients Windows Phone 8.1 (WinRT, not Silverlight) app. Following this tutorial I have included the .ttf and set the "Build Action" to "Content" - unfortunately, this does not work.
This answer suggests I should use the Font Manager in Blend to embed the font, unfortunately I can't seem to find that tool in the latest version (Blend for Visual Studio 2015). Has this feature been moved / removed?

After a reboot, the Visual Studio editor fallbacks to Courier font. Does anyone have any idea of why this is happening and what you can do about it?
I'm using the following version of VS:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) - Version 17.1.3
I'm running the following version of Windows:
Windows 10 Enterprise, Version 21H2
This seems to be problem for some people, including myself. It is already reported at the Visual Studio Developer Community. tl;dr - this workaround is the fastest - reinstall Cascadia Mono via choco.
They changed the default font in Visual Studio 2022 to Cascadia Mono.
To answer your question why this suddenly breaks - the root cause seeems unclear as of this moment, but that font gets corrupted or removed and VS reverts back to some other font, in my case Courier. Repairing Visual Studio or reinstalling the font is required.
Or even easier, if you like the prior default font more, Consolas, just use that.
So I found this extension for Visual Studio Preview 2019 to scroll horizontally with the mouse wheel when holding the shift key called: SideScroller.
But I can't find the same extension for Visual Studio Preview 2022. Any suggestion?
Update:
"Version 1.2 is now available in the marketplace, with support for
VS2022. Please test it out let me know if you see any issues. Thanks
everyone for your patience!"
If you look up the extension in the VS Extension Gallery, you'll find that has a GitHub project. From there, you could try to fix it up to install on VS2022 (and maybe even send a pull request), or you might look at this issue asking for VS2022 support, with a workaround/hack in the comments.
How do you add a device at the XAML designer (Android) in Visual Studio 2019? So not the emulator but only the at the design screen?
I found this on the internet but that doesn't work at Visual Studio.
Just do this to get different devices layout for designing xaml,
The link you provided, i follow the steps, it works well for UWP.
As i know, Xamarin.Forms doesn't currently support visual designers for XAML files.
You could check the link below.

So our enterprise is going the Xamarin route using Visual Studio. Going through all the documentation online showed that it should be Trivial to create WCF proxy client out of a web service and place it in the PCL. After Struggling and trying to figure out why I couldn't compile the PCL using the SLSVcUtil.exe generated classes or why the "Add Service Reference" menu item was missing i gave up and downloaded the sample projects.
Turns out what I was missing all along was the target profile for the PCL. With Visual Studio 2015 + Xamarin, the default profile was set to 111. Profile 111 as it turns out does not Include support WCF as it targets Windows Phone. The target profile you want to use if you want to use WCF is 78.
So how do you change the profile of the PCL in VS 2015? See the answer below. I truly hope this helps some one in the future.
To change the profile:
Right Click Properties on the PCL project.
Click the "Change..." button on Targets Section
Uncheck Windows Phone 8.1
Check Windows Phone Silverlight 8.
Clcik ok!

I have had the same problem and the only way I have got the designer to work is (and this should work if build 10240 is acceptable for your development):
Open your project
Go under "Project" to "Properties"
Select "Application" on the left and change BOTH the target version and the min version to "Windows 10 (10.0; Build 10240)
Once you do that the XAML designer will start working again. I've had to do this on 4 different workstations and it's worked everytime.
As to why build 10568 doesn't work? Got me, agile development, will be fixed in a patch? :p
I had the same problem and could not change BOTH versions to Build 10240 as the Application listbox only showed 10586 in Properties/Application. I thought I could arrange that by editing the .csproj file, which is XML after all, but any change there makes all files in the Solution Explorer immediately unavailable. Then I noticed (running Winver.exe) that my W10 still shows build 10240 despite regularly (but not automatically) running Windows updates. Despite multiple solutions tried, this didn't change. I finally used the MediaCreation Tool to download a new Windows 10 on a USB stick and reinstalled Windows 10, preserving apps and data. And now I am really on 10586 ...and the Design mode shows again when I open my project.
I hope this helps a few!
