When I try to edit a Xaml file in the PCL I don't get any Intelligence from the editor and I can't drag and drop controls from the Xaml tool box as shown in the attached GIF.
As shown in the GIF , I try to open xaml file with XAML Designer and also with XAML Designer with Encoding with no success.
The Error I get is:
The file cannot be opened with selected editor.
Please choose another editor.
I am using VS 2015 community Update 3 with Xamarin.
Things I tried:
1) Updated the xamarin.forms for the solution.
2) Restarted VS.
This is my Xaml Designer settings:

Xamarin.Forms doesn't currently support visual designers for XAML files.
There is not yet a visual designer for generating XAML in Xamarin.Forms applications, so all XAML must be hand-written.

You can used Intellisense for Xamarin.Forms: http://brianlagunas.com/getting-intellisense-for-xamarin-forms/
