I want to know if an other extension works for Visual Studio to have an Intellisense for xamarin forms

I found a good extension :

But as you can see, we have a 404 error...

And this extension not working (I can't see the extension)

If you cannot get Resharper and you want the intellisense then go for Xamarin Studio – Ahmad ElMadi
You don't have intellisense for XAML? Did you tried to tweak any settings in VS? – Almir Vuk

To get the intellisense for xamarin.forms XAML file, you can close the xaml tab in the Editor windows, right click the xaml file and choose ‘Open With…’ and select ‘Source Code (Text) Editor’, then the intellisense works fine as below: enter image description here

If the above method works, you can also choose ‘Set as Default’ when you select ‘Open With…’’. You can have a look at this similar issue and take care of other tips like reopen all open tabs in VS, restart the VS, clean up the solution and delete the .suo file.

This two steps worked for me: 1. Delete obj folder ( to remove ...g.cs files) 2. Clean project

I had the same problem and none of the answers helped me! I looked at the output window and found an error for long path. So I moved the solution to another folder with a short path, and everything worked well.
