WP7 from 7.0 to 7.1 Microsoft.Xna.Framework missing reference or assembly "wont appear in the .net tab add reference"


Recently i upgraded a windows phone project from 7.0 sdk to 7.1 and i got this error Microsoft.XNA.Framework missing reference or assembly, after doing some search in the SDK 7.1 documentation i found this to be a know issue and the solution is to map the Assembly manually, and note that the Assembly wont appear in the .net tab
here is the path you should find the assembly in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone\Microsoft.Xna.Framework.dll
Simply remove it and re-Add the reference and it should work fine

VIVA WP7 or at least hope !!

And in such example we will create a custom control with a set of bindable properties and explain how they work, also how to add an event that can also be bound to Commands Lets Create the control  I have just went ahead and created a custom control that inherits from Xamarin.Forms.View and have some properties such color and checked all properties to be bound to by the ViewModel serving as the datacontext of the this control. here is the code below using System; using Xamarin.Forms; namespace UserControls { public class CustomView : View { public Color Color { get ; s...
