I'm using Windows 10 and I'm sure Windows 11 isn't out yet

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

I won't even bother to fix this

An outdated version of Windows? 😋

Ikr. Im using the latest 1703 Creator's Update. Oh well

@devmonster Maybe it wants you on the Insider Program 😂

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)

@Prk123 but... but... i'm on the latest public release 😫

@devmonster can u tell me ur Build Version ?

@Prk123 my VS is 14.0.25431.01 update 3

Win10 is build 15063.483

Had the same f❤cking problem. That's why I switched to Linux

You need the creators update!

so you are developing an application that target a Windows version that you haven't installed and the problem is windows right?

@rtfm how exactly this will solve the problem? And of course will not bring new problems, right?

@vojb i am on the Creators Update :)

Did you install and targeting an sdk version higher than your windows version?

@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 let's assume that you'll not have driver, crash, freeze, random problems ... how do you plan to work with .net (not core) ?

@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

@devmonster mmm i wouldn't call it a bug, consider that for xamarin. Forms and uwp/wpf we use xaml files,it can't undrrstand everything :)

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

@devmonster not really, vs gives you some freedom to add different type of files, because you could use it somehow, the rest is up to you :) I wouldn't call it totally a bug, maybe could be implemented in some more helpful way

@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

Maybe they check for winver >= 98?

Run it in compatibility mode? (shrug)

11?? Really?? Last time I checked, MS couldn't count

@SupressWarnings not only MS :)
