Error CS1525: Unexpected character

Question

I use:

Xamarin 5.8.3 (build 1)
Xcode 6.3.1

Having the above error on this line:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

In one of my .xib.

Mistake:

Error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `<' (CS1525)

Any idea where this weird bug / error comes from?

Thank you in advance

You are trying to compile .xib source code as C #.

It won't work.

Right-click the file in Solution Explorer and select Build Action

→ InterfaceDefinition

.
