Hello I would like to use the Apex package on VS2013 but it seems like its impossible.
I really like this design
It looks like its a pivot control like on windows phone but its not allowed for wpf, since im not a pro (still at school) where could i get a control like this for wpf ?
It seems to install just fine for me in a test WPF project in VS 2013. I just right click on my project and went to Manage NuGet, searched for 'Apex' in the online section and clicked Install. What issues were you having?

This might have a very simple answer.
I'm trying to learn C# on my Mac, so I downloaded Visual Studio for editing and Xamarin Studio to run. However, after putting in my "Hello World" code into Xamarin, I literally am unable to click the play button on the top left hand corner.
Any ideas? I thought about reinstalling, how do I uninstall Xamarin Studio? What my code looks like.
Press on solution to expand it
Then select startup project by right click
If you still can't build, then you need to download Xamarin.Mac (since you're building on Mac, rather than on a mobile device) You can do that by launching installation, it will ask to re-download missing frameworks.
I wanted to start Cross Mobile App Development for that I had heard Xamarin is a good framework if you are good with C# , so , I had downloaded the latest Visual Studio 2017 with Xamarin module installed, for learning I got the Udemy Course for Xamarin and its the latest one, so my question is in the videos and most of the tutorials out there are many templates which are missing in my Visual Studio so to make it simple I want to ask you guys that am I having the correct templates and the videos I'm referring to are old please clarify them I will post the screenshots of my setup and the video's setup.
**PS. Please excuse my novice I just started it and Google just got me confused **
Here is my Setup:
I'm just asking since to learn I need to have the same setup if there's some dissimilarity then I won't be able to have a heads up.
First off welcome to the Xamarin world.
Secondly your templates that you have are correct. They simply changed up a bit in visual studio 2017. For instance, if you want to create a PCL ( Portable Class Library ) project, you select cross-platform app and click ok. Than you get following screen:
Here can select your coding strategy ( I chose PCL in screenshot ).
If more questions don't hesistate to ask and goodluck ;)
Microsoft keep on improving VS and Xamarin. Yesterday I updated VS 2017 to version 15.8.4 and now I see a difference also between your screen Jordy Dieltjens and mine as below, you have "UI Technology" to the left bottom corner and instead I have "Platform". Also you have "Portable Class Library (PCL)" under "Code sharing strategy" to the right bottom corner where I have ".Net Standard" instead. as per my knowledge PCL is now deprecated and replaced with .Net Standard which is supposed to do the same.
I am coming from android studio and am really missing the preview feature when editting XML code.
The Xamarin website says this:
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/xaml/xaml-previewer/
I find it essential to use the XML preview because I am still a beginner and learning.
Is there any way this can be done? Perhaps any third party apps if they exist?
Thanks In advance
There some alternatives to Xamarin's own XAML previewers, but it is unclear whether those third parter alternatives would support XAML themes.
Gorilla Player
enter image description here
This one is particularly good for previewing the XAML live simultaneously across multiple platform. I think its available on windows but the level of integration with visual studio remains unclear. However, as their download page contains link for windows, it should support it.
You can access it from this link:
http://gorillaplayer.com
XenForms
XenForms is another promising Xamarin.Forms. You can Load, Edit, and Save XAML. This is the first WYSIWYG UI designer for Xamarin.Forms. This tool definitely support windows as a developing platform and windows phones. Unfortunately, it does NOT support drag and drop. Another great feature is that is it has some support for c# user interface as well as the XAML markups.www.xenforms.com
You can check Xamarin's own previewer which is integrated with Visual Studio. Please update your xamarin to latest installation. You may also need to rebuild the solution and then open/reopen the XAML file for preview. For details please check my blog post here.
I'm going nuts over this...
I can't add Windows Phone Toolkit to my Windows Phone 8.0 project in Visual Studio 2013.
Nothing works.
Using <toolkit:LongListMultiSelector></toolkit:LongListMultiSelector> on XAML page dishes out:
"The name LongListMultiSelector does not exist in clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"
What I did:
Installed Toolkit with NuGet version 2.8.5 (so its over 2.1 as required)
Added "xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit" to my XAML page
Deleted Visual Studio cache in %Temp%, restarted VS... Nothing.
Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit is present in project References...
It seems like VS is not even recognizing that reference. Toolkit Controls are not present on a list of Controls that can be added to "Toolbox" sidebar.
I desperately need a list with multi selection in my project, and that Toolkit seems to be the only solution...
Finally I solved it... by accident.
I had some other LongListSelector on the same XAML page, with custom ItemDataTemplateSelector, that caused Visual Studio to act strange.
I deleted that LongListSelector (it worked without a problem, so I don't have a slightest idea what was itchy about it for VS) and toolkit reference started to work.
Strange! And so frustrating...
Would like to make a cross-platform app supporting WinPhone 7.5 and later, plus Android and IOS if possible, using VS 2010 Professional. MVVMCross looked like a good choice but I can't find any information on whether it works with VS2010 or only VS2012.
Apologies if this information is in plain sight somewhere; maybe the answer will make it show up on Google more easily for the next guy.
With the current release it should work - but you will need to make sure you have the latest PCL and nuget plugins installed.
In the near future, Microsoft seem to be pushing hard to prevent WP7.x development - they are removing WP7.x support from VS2013 so MvvmCross will most likely have to switch to WP8-only support - see http://slodge.blogspot.ca/2013/07/mvvmcross-wp7-tombstoned.html
