Launch multiple instances of Visual Studio for Mac and/or Xamarin Studio easily!
Run PowerISO, and insert a blank or rewritable optical disc in the drive. Click 'Burn' button on toolbar or select the 'Tools Burn' Menu. PowerISO shows ' DMG Burner ' dialog. Click 'Browse' button to select the DMG file you want to burn. PowerISO will start burning the dmg file to the disc. Part 1: Burn DMG to CD/DVD on Mac via Command Line (Terminal) The first method involves using command line executions to burn a DMG file to disk. In a Mac, this would be done in Terminal, which you can access in Applications Utilities Terminal. In Windows, it's the Command Prompt, which you can access by entering ‘cmd' in the run window. How to burn a dmg file to dvd.
You can also associate the application with all
.sln
files on your Mac to have them open in a new instance of Visual Studio for Mac or Xamarin Studio.Download
Not sure why VS Mac is not available there. Older Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android versions are available there. The main releases page only shows the first release for VS Mac 7.1. Here is a download for VS Mac 7.1.5 which was the last stable 7.1 version released.
- Xamarin Studio for Mac belongs to Developer Tools. The latest installer occupies 130.7 MB on disk. Our antivirus check shows that this Mac download is safe. The actual developer of this free software for Mac is Xamarin Inc.
- Aug 15, 2019 This week, James is joined by friend of the show Maddy Leger, Xamarin Tooling Program manager, who shows off awesome editor updates to Visual Studio for Mac.
Check out the Releases page to get the latest version!
Associating all .sln files
If you associate all .sln files with MS Solution Launcher, any time you double click or otherwise open a .sln file, it will open inside its own instance of Visual Studio for Mac or Xamarin Studio!
- Find a .sln file in Finder
- Right click the .sln file and Get Info (or highlight the file and cmd + i
- Under the Open With section, click the drop-down list and click Choose
- Navigate to and select MS Solution Launcher
- Click Change All
Always open with..
By default, if you have both Visual Studio for Mac and Xamarin Studio installed, the launcher will ask you which one you'd like to open.
If you'd rather have it always open in one by default, you can change this in the
Preferences.json
file located within the app's resources.- Navigate to the
MS Solution Launcher.app
(in Finder, right click and Show package contents). - Open the
Preferences.json
file located inside theContents/Resources
folder. - Change the value for the key
OpenWith
to be eitherVisual Studio
orXamarin Studio
. - Save the file.
But the icon is old!
I'm terrible at making icons. If you'd like to help make an icon that is beautiful and more relevant, please do!

Learn to use Xamarin.Forms to build user interfaces for your Visual Studio Mac extensions.
? ? ? Important ? ? ?
MFractor has removed all Xamarin.Forms user interfaces as of October 2018.
Unfortunately, using Xamarin.Forms inside Visual Studio Mac caused instability in both MFractor and Visual Studio Mac itself. Download vnc mac os.
In the end, we decided that this technique was not commercially viable. If you choose to use Xamarin.Forms to build UIs, proceed with caution.
At MFractor, we recommend using XWT to build user interfaces for Visual Studio Mac.
If you would like guidance on this, please email [email protected]. We provide consulting services to assist the development of Visaul Studio Mac extensions and would be happy to help.
Introduction
Ever since I commercialised MFractor in June 2017, I've been pulled to the idea of using XAML and Xamarin.Forms to build user interfaces for Visual Studio Mac extensions.
For MFractor, developing tools like the Image Wizard or localisation wizard cost days to weeks of engineering effort. As a bootstrapped business, this time-cost makes it prohibitively expensive to develop tools that are UI-centric.
Therefore, there are compelling reasons to use Xamarin.Forms to build Visual Studio Mac extensions:
- XAML is much, much easier to work with than XWT, Visual Studio Macs UI framework. This dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for developing Visual Studio Mac extensions.
- We can use code and can also make use of value converters, triggers and behaviours.
- With a Xamarin.Forms WPF backend available, user interfaces are reusable in both Visual Studio Mac and Visual Studio Windows.
- By using XAML to build MFractors UIs, I can use MFractor to build itself; an awesome process of dogfooding to accelerate product development.
There are huge productivity gains here!
To prove that this technique is valid for production-ready tooling and is not just a toy, we'll be building an image asset browser you can use to visually explore images inside a solution:
So, read on to learn how to use Xamarin.Forms inside Visual Studio Mac to build rich user interfaces for your tooling.
Using Xamarin.Forms Inside Visual Studio Mac
Let's get started!
First things first, you must have version 1.4.2 of the Addin Maker installed into Visual Studio Mac. Based on my many, many failed attempts at getting this to work, AddinMaker v1.4.2 is the one that works.
Next, you'll need to create a new Visual Studio Mac extension that is an SDK style project and references the NuGet MonoDevelop.Addins v0.4.4. I've found that the Xamarin.Forms bootstrapping process does not work in Visual Studio Mac extensions that are not SDK style projects.
If you have an existing extension, you'll need to upgrade your main extensions project to an SDK style project and reference NuGet MonoDevelop.Addins v0.4.4. The best way to do this is to create a new extension project within the existing solution and then copy paste all the code files from the old project into the new project.

After you've setup your project, it's time to set up Xamarin.Forms inside our extension.
Firstly, we need to add the
Xamarin.Forms.Platform.GTK
nuget into our project. At the time of writing, this is only available within the Xamarin.Forms nightly builds. You can find instructions to add the nightly builds feed here.In the solution explorer panel, locate your extensions project, open Dependencies and then double click on the NuGet item.
Once the package explorer has opened, search for Xamarin.Forms.Platform.GTK and then add it.
Before we can show any user interfaces built using Xamarin.Forms, we need to startup Xamarin.Forms by calling
Forms.Init()
.We do this by creating a
CommandHandler
that invokes Forms.Init()
within its Run()
method like so:InitXamarinFormsCommand.cs
And then in our
Manifest.addin.xml
we insert our InitXamarinFormsCommand
into the /MonoDevelop/Ide/StartupHandlers
extension point:Manifest.addin.xml

When the IDE opens, the
Run()
method of InitXamarinFormsCommand
will be invoked and it will startup Xamarin.Forms!Next, it's time to create our user interface.
As we are now using Xamarin.Forms, we can create our view in XAML and also create an accompanying view model.
To display the user interface for the Image Asset Browser, we use native embedding to convert our Xamarin.Forms UI into a conrol that can be used inside a GTK window. As we working with GTK, we call the extension method
.CreateContainer()
to convert a Xamarin.Forms.Page
into a Gtk.Container
class that can be inserted into a Gtk.Window
.Our
ImageAssetBrowserWindow
looks like this:ImageAssetBrowserWindow.cs&
Xamarin For Mac Os
This creates a window that specifically shows the
ImageAssetBrowserView
and binds it to the ImageAssetBrowserViewModel
.Lastly, we create a new
CommandHandler
to show our user interface:BrowseImageAssetsCommand.cs

And then we expose the
BrowseImageAssetsCommand
through the tools menu by adding the command into the extensions manifest:Manifest.addin.xml
Voila! Now we have a working image browser that's driven using Xamarin.Forms!
Summary
Creating our user interfaces in Xamarin.Forms for our Visual Studio Mac extension has huge benefits. It's much to build UIs with XAML, we get to used lovely MVVM architecture and Xamarin.Forms is much better documented than Xwt.

Unfortunately, this methodology is not without it's issues. As more extension developers start using this technology, it's that many extension developers will bundling and loading their own Xamarin.Forms binaries, resulting in assembly loading race conditions and versioning mis-matches. This causes big problems issues in Visual Studio for Mac, often causing instability in the core product.
Xamarin Mac Setup
In the future, we will need an official Visual Studio Mac Xamarin.Forms extension to prevent multiple calls to Forms.Init() and potential assembly version conflicts.
