I was working just fine yesterday but when I tried to open my solution today I got this error. How do I fix this?

Log:

    Hi! Can you go to Help -> About Visual Studio and let me know what version of the Xamarin extension is installed?

    I believe this is fixed in Xamarin 4.7 (which will be part of VS 15.4).

    I believe this can be worked around by disabling Lightweight Solution Load (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/lightweight-solution-load-extension-impact). If that doesn't work, go into the Visual Studio Installer and completely remove "Xamarin Workbooks" to prevent the Inspector extension from doing any work when you next launch VS.

    Thanks for the quick response. It says that I'm running 4.5.0.486.
    I'll try the workaround.

    Do you think the fix will be backported? Doing a minor upgrade pose a great risk as, by experience, there's usually regressions being introduced that cause more trouble.

  • SandyArmstrongSandyArmstrong USXamarin Team, Insider Xamurai

    Unfortunately, this fix was not approved for backporting.

    If you do disable Lightweight Solution Load, and the bug still occurs, please let me know, as that could indicate it's actually a new bug.

    Lightweight Solution Load NOT enabled here.

    I get the same error using Visual Studio 15.4.0 Preview 1.0

    No error using Visual Studio 15.3.2

  • SandyArmstrongSandyArmstrong USXamarin Team, Insider Xamurai

    @MartinGarins you get the same ArgumentException from get_StartupProjects()?

  • MartinGarinsMartinGarins USMember ✭✭

    No I don't.

    @MartinGarins thanks for checking. That's a different bug that is fixed in 15.4 preview 3.

  • MartinGarinsMartinGarins USMember ✭✭

    No problem. You are welcome.

    I get the same error using Visual Studio 15.4.0 Preview 2.0

    Any idea when Preview 3 will be available? Or a work around fix?

  • SandyArmstrongSandyArmstrong USXamarin Team, Insider Xamurai

    Preview 3 and 4 are already released, so closing this.
