Why does Visual Studio 2015 Designer crash with "Designer process terminated unexpectedly"? - xaml

Does anyone know how to debug this? No matter what I do, I can't use Visual Studio 2015 Designer or Blend 2015. Both are coming up with this error:
Everything compiles and runs smoothly, but the designer doesn't work. I don't even know what System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException means.

Ok. Figure it out. I hope this helps someone in the future.
The culprit was the Any CPU platform selection. When you select x86 or x64, everything works :)

In my case, using Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 solved the issue.

Visual Studio for Mac - Can't read or write any code

I have a problem with Visual Studio for Mac. When I make a new project or I open an existent one, I can't read correctly the code or even write. The code is correctly, in others Text Editors looks fine, but in Visual don't.
Do somebody know about this error? thanks.
Update Visual Studio.
(Click 'Visual Studio Community' in the top bar -> Check For Updates)
This must have been an early bug because I updated to 7.0.1 (Build 24) and it fixed the issue for me.

Missing Intellisense in VS 2015 RC for Xaml

Having been quite spoilt by this excellent add on for VS 2013, it has come of something of a shock to find that there is absolutely no Xaml intellisense when using vs 2015 RC.
in the options I have made sure that it is selected:
and that the designer is used as the default when editing my views;
I have started and restarted Visual Studio several times and yet intellisense remains stubbornly inactive when creating Xaml ( NB it is fine when writing either VB or C# code).
Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?. Visual Studio 2013 is still on my machine, but the two should work happily side by side, indeed my experience is that they do bar this little matter of no intellisense for xaml.
Thanks
Uncheck Enable XAML designer, restart VS; then check Enable XAML designer again and restart VS again, the Intellisense comes out. This works for me. :)
I also experienced this and my solution was to reset the environment settings using the Import and Export Wizard. Tools->Import and Export Settings. And then clicking on "Reset all settings".
Deleting the .suo file and restarting Visual Studio (20015 rc) solved this for me.

Visual Studio 2013 crashing when opening XAML

I have a C# WPF project I can open just fine in VS 2010 Ultimate or 2013 Ultimate.
I can edit it and run it from either.
When I double click the window.xaml, it crashes 2013.
I disabled then uninstalled my extensions. Still crashes.
I spent more than half the day uninstalling (uninstall is broken, btw) and re-installing VS 2013 Ultimate. Still crashes.
Per comment, here's a screenshot of the error:
Actually just tried to create a clean WPF project and it crashes the same way while attempting to create a new WPF project.
Always check this folder for any VS errors
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\PUTYOURVSVERSIONHERE\ActivityLog.xml
If the folder doesn't exist or is empty, run Visual Studio with this command:
devenv.exe /log
There could be many reasons. This one for example was because of an outdated driver. There may be workarounds, however which one to use will depend on the error you see. Can you update your question with the error message?

Visual Studio 2012 MVC page doesn't update after refresh

In Visual Studio 2010 I can change cshtml file with the project running, save it, refresh the page in the browser and see my changes take effect. But, for some reason I can't see my changes when I refresh the page while running a Visual Studio 2012 project. I have to rerun the project to see my changes. Needless to say, it makes developing in VS 2012 impossible, because I can't test my changes out very quickly. So, unless, I can get this to work in VS 2012, I'll have to stick to VS 2010. Can anyone help me with this?
P.S I had installed Visual Studio Update 2 hoping that it would fix this issue, but it didn't get fixed
Tools->Options->Environment->Documents->
Checked first option with suboption
Detecked when file is changed...
Auto-load changes..
I hope after ctrl+f5 it works...
or maybe
Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Build and Run-> On Run, when projects are out of date
Choose Always Build

No javascript project enlisted in visual studio 2012 ultimate

I have installed visual studio ultimate 2012 for windows 8 store apps but it doesnt show JavaScript in the new project.
The setup is good, i have installed it before using the same setup but i dont know what is the problem now..
I have also tried Visual studio Express, but got the same issue.. And one more thing BLEND is also not working in both the cases.
Are you looking in the right place? They can be 'hidden' in "Other Languages"
Search in the upper right hand corner of "New Project" for javascript to be sure.
Make sure you are up to date as well on the following updates as good measure

After uninstalling the current VS and then deleting all registries and finally installing Vs 2012 ultimate, fixed the issue.
