Intellisense Xamarin Forms does not work - Visual Studio Enterprise with Update 3

Question

I installed VS with Xamarin but Intellisense in XAML files is not working properly. In some parts of the code it shows the list of suggestions as image below.

But in other parts of the code it does not show the list with all the items (image below).

He is also opening XAML with the XML Editor (image below), but it should not be with XAML Designer?

Does anyone have any suspicions to solve or get around this problem?

Thank you all so much.

Answer 1

I was having the same problem and solved it as follows:

I updated Xamarin to its latest version as requested by Visual Studio 2015 itself

I restarted Visual Studio

Right-click the xaml file and click on "Open With." , which by default was marked "Source Code Text(Editor) With Encoding" and changed to "Automatic Editor Selector (XML) to be Default.

Note that this line should be completely blue if it is working because if you have some element in red means that the xml Intellisense is working and not from xaml.

Hugs.
