Unable to cast object of type 'System.RuntimeType' to type 'Mono.Debugger.Soft.TypeMirror'. RRS feed

  • Question

  • Visual Studio 2017, version 15.5.2.

    I created a Blank Xamarin Forms, Cross Platform project using .NetStandard option.

    My project was working fine prior to upgrade to this version.  Now a simple List creation is null and when I tried to add an item to the list, it keep getting 

    Unable to cast object of type 'System.RuntimeType' to type 'Mono.Debugger.Soft.TypeMirror'.

    public void Test()
            {
                List<Int32> list= new List<Int32>();
                list.Add(1);
                //Unable to cast object of type 'System.RuntimeType' to type 'Mono.Debugger.Soft.TypeMirror'.


                int x = 0;
                int y = x + 1;
            }

    This error is causing other problems with deserialization of List<T>

    I even installed a VS 2017 on a fresh Windows 7 machine and still get the same issue.

    (I would have added pictures but the site won't let it because it couldn't verify my account yet)

  • Hi Kag007,

    This forum is discussing Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.

    Your issue is related to Xamarin, I suggest you repost a new thread to the following forum for a professional answer.

    https://forums.xamarin.com/

    Or, you could get advice on Stack Overflow and just add a tag with Xamarin in your thread, and then you would get support from Xamarin members.
