I was working with Xamarin Visual studio and suddenly I just deleted some of the controls from Visual Studio toolbox pane in android designer.

I tried adding them using (right click on toolbox/choose items), but I don't know where the assembly of the controls live.

Does anyone know how to add the controls back?

simple fix

Deleting the *.tbd in the following dir on Windows worked for me...

C:\Users[Current user]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\version of
visual studio\

sometimes the file was hidden so do this.

go to this folder

"C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\version of visual studio"

that's it. Happy Coding
