I had a pretty discouraging time trying to learn about xamarin forms tonight. I think everything was going pretty smoothly up until the time I downloaded and installed "Infragistics_Xamarin_20171_WithSamples.zip". I loved the samples for XF. But not long after taking a look at the samples, my Visual Studio 2017 installation started freezing on me.
It works fine when opening cs or txt files but anything based on xml (config files and xaml) will lock up the whole IDE and I have to kill it.
I finally attached a debugger and found the following callstack on one of the threads. Can someone tell me if they agree that the "configurator" (whatever that is) may be the culprit? I'd like to get VS back to behaving normally again. My day job is working on WPF and I don't want Visual Studio to be unstable.
DBeavon,
Apologies for the difficulties you are having. We have never seen anything like this before.
A quick fix so Visual Studio won't have issues with XAML files, please uninstall the Infragistics Control Configurator using the VS Tools, Extensions and Updates... menu option. After uninstalling or disabling, restart VS.
What version of the Infragistics Control Configurator is installed on your system?
