Love of the internet

The Internet is the final frontier for open connected networks, it promotes speech and advances knowledge for any mere person. The internet is fast becoming a need rather a want, and it is recognised by the UN as a necessity for the modern person.

Photography

Photography is more than just Art and expression, it is the manipulation of the light and provokes emotion and memories.

VisualStudio 2013 - Xamarin - How to use Intellisense

When I installed Xamarin Business License, I noticed that intellisense was not working with the xml and axml files.

To get this to work you need to manually add two XSD files, once you have added them you will get Instellisense.

First open any random XML file, once you have opened it you will notice that the menu bar will have a new menu item called XML.

Next navigate to XML > Schemas > Add

Next enter the path in the filename box C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android and hit enter

You should see two XSD files, select them both by holding shift and clicking on each.

Click on Open and you should see the files have been added in the XML Schemas dialog

Click OK in the Schema Dialog

and then close the XML file and reopen an XML or AXML and you should get intellisense as soon as you type <.

Hope this helps someone.
