[Solved] VS2013 / Blend does not show the XAML markup

[Eitan]

Hi,

I created a small test app with below code XAML code. Both VS2013 and Blend don't show the page and both complain on Invalid Markup.

Is the problem is with your code or with mine, and how can I fix the problem?

Thanks,
Eitan

Hi Eitan,

Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce this issue you reported. Please, find attached a sample project and compare it with your project. Please let us know if there is anything that we are missing and modify our project to demonstrate the issue. This will allow us to further investigate the case.

Regards,

Hi,

I opened the sample you sent me.

VS2013 ask me if I want to upgrade the Telerik to a new version of your controls, I said yes:
     Runtime Version: v4.0.30319
     Version: 2014.3.1021.3040

after the update, VS2013 will not show the XAML of the MainPage. Please see attached screen capture.
The application builds and runs OK, just the XAML designer is broken.

Thanks,
Eitan

Hi Eitan,

I can see on your screenshot (and it is a bit confusing) that you do not have a reference to Telerik.Windows.Controls.Primitives. This would lead to the error you see, but it would not allow you to run the project. Still, please make sure that both assemblies Telerik.Windows.Core and Telerik.Windows.Controls.Primitives are referenced in your project.

In addition, sometimes, when assemblies are replaced (upgraded) Visual Studio keeps old versions cached. Please, close the designer, restart Visual Studio, then clean and rebuild the project. After that, you can open the designer again and it should work. I have attached a screenshot of how my Visual Studio looks with Dimitrina's example open.

Best regards,
Ves
