Xamarin Warning- TargetFrameworkVersion error (need to increase TargetFrameworkVersion) for your project

I was doing Xamarin and i got this error –

The $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for FormsViewGroup.dll (v7.1) is greater than the $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for your project (v6.0). You need to increase the $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for your project.

I went into “C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk” and run SDK Manager.exe as manager and do an install and update.

Rebuild the solution in Visual Studio and it will work

Visual Studio Nuget Error Install-Package : The current environment doesn’t have a solution open.

I was attempting to open a solution that I downloaded from Github and I received this error.

Install-Package : The current environment doesn’t have a solution open.

For those of us who met this error, You just have to go to File select Save All in Visual Studio to save the solution somewhere and the problem will be gone.

Using Toggle Control to disable/enable idle detection – Windows Phone 7

Saw a question on Dream Build Launch on how can one use toggle control to disable / enable idle detection and from there, enable/disable it idle detection accordingly.

I believe he needed it in his setting page. Did up a quick demo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Resources
1. I used the toggle control from the silverlight toolkit for Windows Phone on codeplex (Can be found here : http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/75888) for the toggle control.

2. Do read this msdn article for

Things I did
1. Added the toggle controls in the toolkit into Visual Studio (if you have yet to do so)
2. Pull in the toggle controls and attached the checked event handler onto the control.
3. Add the following code (I included the method signature here).

private void toggleSwitch1_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{

if (toggleSwitch1.IsChecked == true)
PhoneApplicationService.Current.ApplicationIdleDetectionMode = IdleDetectionMode.Disabled;
else
PhoneApplicationService.Current.ApplicationIdleDetectionMode = IdleDetectionMode.Enabled;
}
