I am using Visual studio 2012 and working with WPF, whenever i create a new widow, then it's designer window is not shown. However,when we run the application,dialog is displayed.
But my question is this why i can't see the designer of WPF dialog while i am writing xaml want to see effects on designer.
Is this an issue with Visual studio 2012 because this happening on all the developer machines in my company.
Is there any patch setup for visual studio other than upate1 and update2 that i have already installed for my visual studio but nothing has been fixed up by now.

I have installed visual studio 2015 enterprise on windows 10. And I created a windows form application in c#. So normally, on visual studio 2013 I saw the a small triangle button like this:
But on visual studio 2015, this button disappear. Is it removed? How can I re-enable it? Please help me! Sorry about my bad english.
Smart Tags are supported in Visual Studio 2015.
I have VS2015 Enterprise Update 1 runned in Windows 10. That triangle button is visible by default at the same location as in VS2013. Try Shift+Alt+F10, it is default key combination to show Smart Tags.
Also, check Tools -> Options -> Windows Forms Designer -> Automatically Open Smart Tags property value.
I have a Visual Studio 2015 solution that contains 2 WPF applications. Both applications start up when I run the solution in debug mode (pressing F5). I am using the new Live Visual Tree window that comes with Visual Studio 2015 but it only presents the visual tree of one of the applications.
Is there a way to select the other visual tree, or even to view both of them at the same time?
Hello I've been switching between blend and visual studio for designing and coding and I heard that you can right click an XML file and click open in blend I've looked on the context menu and it isn't there. Any help is appreciated.
The Blend in Visual Studio 2012 is for Windows Phone and Windows Store apps only,
http://www.microsoft.com/expression/eng/
Blend will continue to ship as a standalone tool with Visual Studio
2012, as part of a consolidated designer/developer offering. Blend for
Visual Studio 2012 provides a rich design-centric environment for
building Windows Store apps and Windows Phone apps. In addition,
Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 and later adds support for Silverlight and
WPF editing, as well as SketchFlow.
You will have to install Update 2 as suggested by Microsoft.
I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Professional Edition and have a WPF project.
I'd like to open my WPF project with Blend but the option doesn't exist in my visual studio.
Should I install Blend separately? How can I make the option visible and enable it?
Look at this video: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/showcase/details.aspx?uuid=ab9788fc-cd18-474a-942c-61754e9e428b
there is an "Open for Blend" option when right clicking on the project.
You can initiate a new instance of blend 2012 and open the corresponding project in that.. This is very basic.. is it not working?
I have had this same exact problem with using VS2013 Ultimate SP2.
It would appear that this only actually works when it's a Silverlight project, but once you open up Blend for Visual Studio you're able to go to File -> Open Project/Solution... and select the project you want to design with Blend.
As far as I am aware this is the only way to open Blend without looking through the VS 2012/2013 program folders. I have tried it several times with WPF (even right-clicking on specific XAML files) with no success.
This may have been fixed, so I will be updating VS2013 to the latest version (SP3) and update this answer with my findings.
after creating a wpf visual studio 2010 project - i noticed there is no "open in expression blend" link as there is in a silverlight 4 project. I found out so far that expression blend 4 should be present before installing visual studio 2010. (This means if you do the reverse having visual studio 2010 and then installing expression blend 4 afterwards, then the above link will not be shown) The work around is to use the "open with" in visual studio 2010 project by right clicking
the xaml folder and adding the proper expression blend program you want, clicking it afterwaards
and after getting the "error message of the xaml folder" and closing it, open up the same project
as in visual studio 2010 - and then you have a link. This is unneceasary in a silverlight project.
Anybody can clerify this because I DO NOT WANT TO UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL VISUAL STUDIO 2010 and
when changing "regedit" is different for a windows 7 64x than it is for 32x.
