Russell D

The Beta has ended, and the extension is now available on the VS2017 Gallery.

well first of all THANK YOU, been waiting for this and this is perfect timing as I'm having a weird issue with my Xamarin Forms app and am hoping this will help.

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to; Although I was able to decompile the library I want to debug (Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android) and I can see the decompiled code and set a break point, it is not getting hit when I run the application.

am I missing a step or am I trying to do something that's not supported? I'm happy to provide more details, just let me know what would help.

thanks

Thanks for the feedback @SelAromDotNet , we'll investigate this on Monday.

We need more information for this @SelAromDotNet.

Could you please show us the Modules Window, and then show us the symbol load information please? This will hopefully show us why it's not loading things correctly:




I'm unable to reproduce the issue you're seeing, so I suspect there's something wrong with the PDB you have loaded.

So it appears the modules window is empty:



I also included the generated source file, so it looks like it did decompile it, but it's not loading it.

I should also mention when I attempt to decompile the assemble (Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android) it mostly fails:



but again I can F12 into definitions and the source does appear. I'm not very informed about how all this stuff works so I don't know what else I can provide but if you let me know I can share it. If it helps, here's a copy of the project I'm using:

Ok, I suspect this is going to be because we don't see the actual assembly itself, but whatever is offered up by the emulator.

Will take a look at the github project though and see what I can find.
