    That's Microsoft's equivalent of a "fuck you" to all who don't update Windows.

    U need to update ur windows bro ! ... Newer dev features aren't available on older versions ... It's like if u're targeting ur application to higher Builds than ur own PC, u'll get this message !

    Best temporary solution wud be to target ur application upto ur own Build (say Anniversary update)

    @domresc this is a Xamarin app solution. I think it's just an issue with the rendering of Xaml

    @rtfm Installing Linux would not solve anything in this case 😂

    @rtfm Well seeing as Visual Studio doesn't run on Linux...

    Hello @devmonster, check the target and the minimum version of the windows app solution.
    Anyway I'm too a Xamarin developer.

    @domresc hehe i think it's just a bug. I accidentally added a Xaml file instead of a Content View and that's how Vs reacts when you open it

    @dontbeevil i added the file using VS. You'd think it would understand the file formats it knows

    @dontbeevil just so we are on the same xaml page here, I added the file from VS Add New File menu, selected Xaml Page from the available templates on the New File screen. That implies it's a file type it knows how to handle.

    I understand that VS can open any type of text or nontext file; it is an editor afterall. But wouldn't it be weird if for instance MSWord offers to create a DOT file and then suddently says "oh I don't know how to open that"

    And of course third party add ons can add new type of templates that VS might not know how to open but let's be real - This is a xaml file. Any particular reason why VS can't fall back to text only format?

    @devmonster You can write click the file on Solution Explorer and Open With VS' text editor

    I had a controller file that got stuck in design view once
    This was the only way I could open and edit the file:(

    @itsdaniel0 of course that will work hehe. I just find it weird that it got confused handling xaml. Im starting to get angry at VS more and more lately since it likes to crash a lot
