Xamarin Studio - Storyboard looses all views but Document Outline shows them

I am starting to learn about Xamarin/IOS and I am trying a very simple example to use storyboard designer to add views. I added 2 labels, a button, a switch and a slider and run it in emulator and all works as expected. But then when I got back to my storyboard designer, none of the view was showing there anymore but Document Outline was showing them properly as per attached screenshot. How do I get them show in design view? enter image description here

They show when I run app in simulator and they were showing properly in designer as well when I added them initially enter image description here

Solution

  • This is another strange issue with Xamarin Studio. I often find that it will not do what it is supposed to do and that restarting like explained here Xamarin.iOS Designer - Creating Action segue not working often solves the issue. Completely unrelated issue, but restarting helped in both cases.
