I'm currently using visual studio with Xamarin forms. When I did XAML with WPF it was possible to toggle between xaml and c# pressing F7. Its also currently assigned but not working. Is anyone else having this issue with Visual Studio 2015?

From your comments below F7/Shift+F7 is for Xaml designer and Xaml Code not for Xaml and C# code behind.@RasmusChristensen – Akash Amin

Not sure about Visual Studio 2015, but in Visual Studio 2013 you can right-click the class reference in your XAML file for the page and click Go To Declaration which will take you to your code-behind file. You can also do the same from your code-behind file to get into the XAML file it is attached to.

So for example, if your ContentPage is called WelcomePage, then in your WelcomePage's XAML file, you would right click the word WelcomePage below:

x:Class="YourNamespace.Pages.WelcomePage"

And in your code-behind you would right click WelcomePage below:

public partial class WelcomePage : ContentPage {
    ....
}

Maybe this could be a workaround for you if the VS 2015 feature is not working correctly.

Also if you have R# installed, you only need to Ctrl + click the WelcomePage text to move between the XAML and code-behind.
