I have vs2013 and Q1 2013 using the OfficeSliver Theme creating a project with 4.5 Framework. I am getting a design error anytime a try to open any XAML file in designer. I am getting this on brand new solutions with no controls on the window.
I tried what was listed on this form http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/ribbonview/ribbonview-w-windows-8-theme-rd---blend-with-sketchflow-for-vs-2012-preview-crashing.aspx and confirmed that my theme file was indeed set the way suggested and it was but that is not changing the fact that I can not load a completely blank window.
Any suggestions on what I can do?
This is the design error that I am getting:
System.ArgumentException
