How to add a service reference to Xamarin PCL on VisualStudio 2017

I'm working on a simple Xamarin cross-platform mobile application that needs to connect to a WEB Service. There are a few posts (see here, here and here) saying that Visual Studio doesn't support Service References for Windows Phone 8.1 and that I must remove such target from the project.
Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to do so under VS2017 Community (Release 15.1 26403.7): see image Visual Studio 2017 doesn't show any Windows 8.1 Target. "Windows Phone 8.1" is indeed in the targets but when I click on "Change" it doesn't appear... so I can't remove it.
I know I can add a reference to each platform-specific project (Android or iOS) but the whole point is to rely on a single common service reference and avoid time-consuming interfaces.
Thank you for your help!
Andrej
All my apologies, I have found the answer - like, 45 seconds after posting - by putting together this post and this post:
Manually edit the portable .csproj
In the "TargetFrameworkProfile" enter "Profile78"
VS2017 will reload the project and you will now be able to add a Service Reference.

strange lines in visual studio 2012 after activation

I have installed VS 2012 some days ago.After activation there are some strange lines in the UI
that appear on menu and code editor area.I don't know how to get rid of them.
http://mojoimage.com/free-image-hosting-11/4739vs2012.png
another example while repairing VS : Picture
VS2010 and 2012 use WPF for their UIs - it's likely this issue is with your graphics card or driver. Please ensure you're running the latest graphics driver versions. If the issue continues then I suggest you try running other WPF applications and seeing if they render things okay.

Possible problem with ComponentOne controls in vb6

I am using the following custom controls in legacy vb6 applications. These applications have been know to crash on exit - if run from inside the development environment the applications will crash the development environment - has any one seen where these controls might have caused that problem, and what I might do to correct it? thanks
ComponentOne Sizer/Tab Controls 8.0
ComponentOne Spell 8.0 control
ComponentOne VSFlexgrid 8.0 (OLEDB)
Have you tried using the latest builds? I recently had a problem getting a .NET winform designer to show with a VsFlexGrid8 .ocx on it. The problem was something to do with ATL and Windows 7 security, IIRC. Switching to a later (stable) build solved my problem.
Somethings that happens when you have addins. Enter in your vb6 Turn off addins closed again open vb6 execute your application if is successfull enable addins.

Windows Mobile Hi-Res Designer in Visual Studio

Is it possible to do Windows Mobile development in Visual Studio (2008), where the Windows Mobile Forms designer appears in "hi-res" (VGA/>96 DPI), rather than the default lo-res view?
I'm using Resco controls, which have some built-in support for hi-res, but it's a little bit slow to develop any significant forms, because you don't know what it will look like until you run the application.
Change the FormFactor property on your forms to something with "VGA" in it.
