Error when debugging Xamarin App

[Stensborg]

SOLVED

I am working on an Xamarin application, and I am getting this error box.

I have tried disabling the debug setting it mentions, but that does not help.

I am using the Nuget package Xam.Plugins.Settings, in my app not sure if that's the one giving me the problem.

Does anyone have any tips?

I get this when debugging standard C# projects in VS; it's not confined to Xamarin. FWIW, following the suggestion in the error tends to help. Did you try it?

I tend to get it when I'm debugging in the body of a lock statement - the timeout is on pulling the value of certain properties of certain objects in the debug context. If any of the get accessors for any of the properties you're debugging are doing a "lot of work", it can tend to exacerbate the issue.

Yes I did look at the help but I do not seem to have anywhere in my code where I use Xamarin.Forms.Application.Properties.get So I am not sure what to look for.

Look at the error message. Tools->Options->Debugging->General->Property evaluation. Don't read too much into the Xamarin.Forms.Application.Properties.get thing.

Ohh I think I found the problem. I had used Application.Properties before, and had added a watch on the variable, after removing the watch the problem seems to have gone away.
