Visual Studio 2008 - Can't edit events in WPF - wpf

I just got a new PC with Windows 7. While editing a WPF window, when I right-click on a control and select Properties, I get the familiar property window docked in the lower-right coner. For some reason, I do not see the lightning bolt button to toggle over to the events. Also, when I double-click on a control, nothing happens.
Has anyone seen this? What can I do?

You need to install VS 2008 SP1 for that feature (and a lot more!).

I manually uninstalled VS 2008 (by uninstalling each component one-by-one as specified in the readme file), then reinstalled it along with SP1, and it's fixed now.

Adding data from SQLServer to XRLabels from DevExpress in VB NET using code

My DevExpress tools does not show on the toolbar and I cannot find a solution other than adding data using code. I have to create a Perscription Report for a veterinary so multiple tables are going to be used from the database.
If you have reinstalled Visual Studio or installed Visual Studio after the installation of our products, re-run our installer in Repair mode to register our toolbox items for that Visual Studio.

How to open a WPF project with Blend in Visual Studio 2012?

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.

Visual Studio 2008 Xaml Editor not working / disappeared

When I start up VS 2008 to work on a WPF / Silverlight App and open a XAML or XML file the XAML / XML editor is no longer working. The designer does not show up and intellisense is unavailable. It basically looks like a text file has been opened.
Try running the following command.
"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\ide\devenv" /resetSkipPkgs
If that doesn't work try repairing the Visual Studio Install
Start -> Control Panel
Add Remove Programs
Select VS
Choose repair
The designer for XAML is awful. Do yourself a favour and set your XAML files to open in the code viewer instead; they'll load quicker and you won't have to deal with the designer's flakiness.
However, to fix the intellisense, just re-register TextMgrP.dll using regsvr32 as indicated here.
I've seen this problem before, running this command should fix it :
Devenv.exe /ResetSkipPkgs
If you right click the file, select "Open With", and then choose "Windows Presentation Foundation Designer", does that work? If so, most likely the default editor for .xaml files has changed. You can reset this back to the designer by pressing "Set as Default" when the designer you want is selected in the list in the Open With dialog.
It looks like there is an XML package that was previously not loaded, see other question here;
Visual Studio 2008 XML Editor Disappeared
Also, there is an answer on the Silverlight forums that describes using the "devenv /setup" command that can be found in (VS2008InstallationDirectory)\IDE.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! It finally worked!!!!! Only after a week of pulling my hair out. I had multiple issues.
Xaml editor and add DataSource Wizard and other things would not work with VS 2008.
Tried to install SP1. It would not let me because Office Suite 2007 was in the middle of an SP1 update and would not finish.
Un-installed Microsoft office and reinstalled and service packed.
Tried devenv /setp & devenv /resetskippkgs to no avail.
Finally service packed VS2008.
Retried the devenv /setp & devenv /resetskippkgs twice and voila!! It worked.
Thanks a bunch.
i had similar problems when i installed VS2008 Professional over an existing VS2008 Express edition. Suddenly my XAML designer stopped working . i got failed loading the XAML dll error.
So i just uninstalled all VS Express stuff and then installed VS 2008 SP1 fixed all things.
try link below for VS 2008 SP1.
