I am trying to develop my own plugins in xamarin form. I installed Cross-Platform .NET Standard Plugin Templates in VS 2019. I can see in description Cross-Platform .NET Standard Plugin Templates works with 2017 and 2019.
When I try to create new project it keeps going on saying creating project.
When I look in the directory, I can see some files being generated.
It's an existing issue with VS2019
Creating a new Project with VS2019 shows missing references / they cant be loaded. Appeared after last VS Update.
If you wait long enough you can do the following :
Note- after last VS 2019 update- edit the csproj file and update the MSBuild.Sdk.Extras to version 2.0.54 so all dependencies load and the project will build.
UPDATE:
Had to download Visual studio 2017 to create the project
Visual Studio 2013 with update 4 does not show a shared project template. I only have the Xamarin forms project templates. I just installed a fresh update of Xamarin this morning. Based on what I've found so far, this used to be an issue with VS update 2. Any idea on how to get shared project template to show up?
From Xamarin Support:
No, there's no optional bits missing. I think Visual Studio Update 4
removed the shared project template. It's a Microsoft template, not a
Xamarin one. You can still create a Xamarin.Forms app with a Shared
Project (that's our template), but they no longer allow you to create
an independent shared project.
So, three ways to create one now if you are using Visual Studio 2013:
1) Switch to Xamarin Studio and create it there and then close it and
reopen the solution in VS. VS will recognize the project, it just
doesn't have a template to create it anymore. This is probably the
easiest approach.
2) Install the "Shared Project Template" from the Online templates -
this is a 3rd party template; I've not tried it but if you want to
stay in VS and have the template, it's worth a shot.
3) Create either a Universal Windows Store app (which uses a Shared
Proejct), or a Xamarin.Forms app and then delete all the other
projects :)
Alternatively, Visual Studio 2015 (currently in CTP); last time I
checked, it still has the project template - you can install that
side-by-side with VS2013 and use it as your IDE.
I just started learning unity and I created a project. But my project doesn't have a sln file included in. Every time I create a C# script and open it in Xamarin Studio I can't have any intellisense.
Is it normal not to have sln file in unity project?
If not, how can I add solution file to project?
Why that happened?
If "Open C# Project" doesnt create the .sln file, try updating your external tools first.
In Unity, go to Edit > Preferences, and make sure that Visual Studio is selected as your preferred external editor.
This created the sln file for me.
I finally found the answer.
I closed Xamarin and inside Unity went Assets > Sync MonoDevelop Project Doing this created the two .sln projects: -csharp.sln and .sln
For people looking for answers on newer versions of Unity you may have to build your C# project.
To do this go into File > Build Settings then select the option Create Visual Studio Solution. Then build that and your file explorer will ask you for which folder you want your visual studio solution to be placed into. Then Visual Studio should behave correctly.

First install windows build also in unity hub then select target platform to windows. and now you can see visual studio solution checkbox.

Like the post by SSchmid suggests, go into preferences and have Visual Studio as your preferred editor.
I was having a sync issue and the Solution wasn't showing the name of the unity project, ultimately interrupting intellisence.
Found in my settings that the code editor was set to General and not Visual Studio specifically.
Setting it to VS solved it for me.

I recently installed the RC update 2 for Visual Studio 2013. When going through the template for a universal app I found a project *******.Shared which had an extension .shproj.
When going through some material online what I found was it is - a project template to share code and files, which I thought is so cool. But as I started working on it, I hit a roadblock. How do I add references to this project? Has anyone worked this out?
There is no need to add references for the shared code. Just add necessary reference to your Windows Store or Windows Phone project. It works fine for both (shared and specific projects).
For Visual Studio 2013 Updates 2 & 3 (and probably 4), install and use the Shared Project Reference Manager Visual Studio extension to allow shared code projects to be referenced from other projects in a solution.
It does have an odd dependency on having a Windows Phone developer licence, even if you do not have a Windows Phone project in your solution, but I assume that dependency will be dropped at some point.
When I try to add setup project for my Window Service project in ultimate VS2010, I cannot find the setup project template in the installed template pane(We have setup template in VS08). I only get two templates, one is InstallShield LE and the other is Visual Studio Installer.
I need your help to find out where I can download the Setup project template.
Thanks
Tony
I found out thar I need to use the found template function and I found the setup project
