![Visual Studio For Mac Properties Not Working Visual Studio For Mac Properties Not Working](/uploads/1/2/4/2/124252679/326025810.png)
David, I had this problem too in Visual Studio 2015 Community. I found out that it was because my XAML Windows [must the the same for WinForm] was undocked from the main IDE. Once the Designer was docked back inside the main IDE Windows, properties pane was working again. Did you know you can report issues with Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio for Mac directly within the IDE? Just use Help > Report a Problem to file your issue. Bug 43326 - [iOS Designer] Name of control not appearing in Properties Pane->Widget tab when control first selected. Summary: [iOS. We will continue to work on open Bugzilla.

- Go to the View menu and then click on Solution. If it's already selected, then try selecting another view and then go back to Solution and the Solution explorer should be added back.

- Accepted AnswerTry the View -> Pads -> Solution menu command, which will show the solution pad.The View->Pads menu command just switches to the pad layout that's used when solutions are open.

- for me solution explorer is coming, but no option button is coming on right side, also how can i included existing items , say media to solution
- @LaherAjmani - The option button on the right hand side of the Solution window was removed.To include existing items I would right click the solution and select Display Options - Show All Files. Then you can right click the file and select Include in Project. Alternatively you can just use Add - Add Files or Add Files from Folder or Add Existing Folder.
- @mattward Thanks for swift response, but unfortunately i am not even getting right click enabled on my solution or any folder to add new or existing file.
Any missing component or something of that sort ? - @LaherAjmani - When you right click you have no menu? No menu options enabled?
- @mattward - no , nothing showing up , thats what my trouble is, i am VS user, n this is first time i am using Xamarin studio
- Can you post a screenshot? Also can you look in the IDE log to see if there are any errors? (Help - Open Log Directory).
