Visual Studio missing "Forms Xaml Page" from "Add|New Item" menu using Xamarin
Not sure why this is happening, but its been happening on all my installations of Xamarin with Visual Studio 2015.
All the tutorials and web pages talk about using Project|Add New Item
and adding a new "Forms Xaml Page"
. But whenever I install Xamarin and Visual Studio 2015, I just get the "Forms ContentPage"
and "Forms ContentView"
which just generate a C# file, no Xaml.
To fix this, I copied XamlPage.zip from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Xamarin\Xamarin\4.0.3.214\T\IT\Cross-Platform\Code
to
C:\Users\your name here\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Templates\ItemTemplates\Visual C#
