I'm test-driving Visual Studio 11 beta and it appears I've hit a major snag.
Has anyone tried opening an actual production WPF project that contains WPF windows with User Controls? When I try to open a WPF Window or control that contains user controls, the design view displays a nice error message:
"Design view is unavailable for x64 and ARM target platforms because the document contains custom elements."
It appears to be a major wtf... since most developer machines these days are x64.
* UPDATE: *
Reproduced this in a new VS 2011 WPF project:
- Add a xaml resourec file with styles (in the same project as the user control)
- Reference this file in a user control using the tag
Immediately, the "Design view is unavailable for x64 and ARM target platforms..." pops up.
As soon as I remove the resource reference, the designer starts working again.
