I have some applications designed in XAML for WP8 and for Windows Desktop with localized strings by using Appresources.resx and AppResources.xx.resx files.
In VS 2013 XAML designer, all localized strings are displayed correctly.
In VS 2015 XAML designer, all strings are shown as empty, I have no error and when executed, the localized strings are displayed normally, the problem occurs only in design mode.
I would like to migrate all my VS2013 projects to VS2015 but I just can't because of this issue.
Is there a setting or a workaround to solve this?
Edit :
I've uninstalled then reinstalled my VS2015 Pro and now all my strings are displayed by their name but not their values... Not very usefull but better than nothing!

I'm having to work in a vb.net project and I have to add new textfields and labels to a form. But when I change the layout of the form in Visual Studio the form looks fine, but after compilation and moving to a testserver the form all gets jumbled together and label/textfields are all over the place, and some are missing.
Why does this happens and how can I fix it? I think it could have something to do with form languages but I'm not sure. Since on test server there is a way to change the language from the app between dutch and french.
Was able to fix the the issue by compiling the code in visual studio 2010 instead of 2017. Thought i would give it a try since the application was initially developed in VS 2010 and it worked.
I have Visual Studio 2017 rel. 15.4.2 with Xamarin 4.7.10.33 (s.o. Windows 7 64 bit).
I create a simple app for Android and iOS and I try to use styles resources.
When I try to define a style inside a ResourceDictionary (in Application.Resources), the intellisense do not show tag "Style".
I have to insert it manually and I don't see nothing oh style's properties.
I see only this
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
I can reproduced this in my side and I have reported it to the VS Product Team to seek for a better support, please check this: Visual Studio 2017 Xaml intellisense not working with tag “Style”
and you can add your comments and vote it, then you can get any updates from the VS Product Team engineers to know the detail progress.
The Reporting template seems missing in VS2017 (I am using Visual Basic). Any way to get it back?
I have already tried installing SQL Server Data tools and the rdlc extension from the marketplace, but it still doesn't show up.
The template is available in the Add New Item window. Select Visual C# and then look for the Report and Report Wizard templates. These templates are only visible under Visual C#, not under any subitem.
Try updating ReportViewer to version 14.0.0.0 and installing Microsoft.RdlcDesigner. This worked for me for Visual C# and then just like J.Bunch said there is no sub item Reporting like there was before so you just scroll down thorough all items. Also try this although the example is for C# I think it should at least help you with VB.Net as well. Hope it helps.
Currently I am using Visual Basic 2008 (.NET Framework 2.0) to create a program. However, when I add or select controls such as panels, group boxes, etc. I get error messages. For example, when I try to add a panel control I get the following message,
After clicking OK button, the panel control is added but the following happens to the panel control,
Yet I can still add other controls inside it. When I save and re-open the project, it shows the normal panel control. But when I select the panel control it does as shown in the second image again.
I tried this in Visual Basic 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2013. Same thing. I have full administrator access to the computer.
What is the reason for this and how to fix it?
I re-installed Windows and then Visual Studio 2008. The error did not occur after that. But when I updated the computer via Windows Update, the error came back.
Try creating a new project, then copy and paste code from the old project. You may or may not have to recreate the forms in the designer. Also, make sure you have System, System.Core, System.Drawing, and System.Windows.Forms included as references for the project.
The error was due to a Windows Update. Because it does not show any errors on non-updated Windows 7. The error only appears after updating Windows 7
It was difficult to find which update was the reason for the issue. The solution was to install Windows 7 and Visual Studio and never update it. This way, it seems to fix the issue and it does not show the errors anymore.

I'm trying to get RC of Visual Studio 2012 working for XAML files. I can't seem to get any XAML Intellisense and the option within Tools is greyed out.
I've also tried to run the solution using Blend, however I only get Intellisense for custom controls such as telerik then.
When ever I drag controls onto the design surface I get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" exception but the control is still added to the surface.
I've read that this was a bug within VS11 and was fixed with in the Visual Studio 2012 RC.
I've created a new Silverlight Application and the intellisense is working so i'm wondering if its an issue with how my projects are set up.
I have all of my Styles within a separate themes project, which is referenced by other all other projects. Within the designer these references show up as errors but when the application runs they are resolved fine.
Would unresolved resources at design time affect Intellisense?
Click "Build -> Clean Solution", then "Build -> Build Solution". ("Rebuild Solution" alone doesn't work.) [Source]
If you have a reference to any of the expression blend dlls for interactions and you are using silverlight5 you will need to update the following dlls:
Microsoft.Expression.Controls.dll
Microsoft.Expression.Effects.dll
Microsoft.Expression.Interactions.dll
System.Windows.Interactivity.dll

Exact same problem here, using WPF.
In my case, removing:
<Page.Resources>
<vm:AnyViewModel x:Key="anyViewModel" />
</Page.Resources>
Solve my problem...
One known cause of XAML Intellisense failure is if System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit is one of the project references. I've seen where deleting that reference instantly fixes the problem. The problem is described in the comments of this Connect bug for VS2012 Beta, but it applies to the RC with the July update as well.
I've found that some xaml designers for a control have this issue, where other controls are just fine.
The problem (in my case) seems to be if parameters are null or events call uninitialized singletons. Something the designer gives you a stack trace and other timers renders with no problem.
I've found by changing the back-end code for pages that don't have Intelli-sense to include DesignerProperties always fixes the issue (in my cases).
public Homing()
{
InitializeComponent();
if (DesignerProperties.GetIsInDesignMode(this))
return;
// some other code here that may have uninitialized members
}

I'm not sure if I had the same problem, but Intellisense mysteriously stopped working for me within a XAML file. I tried cleaning the build as someone suggested, but that didn't work.
After I restarted Visual Studio 2013, the Intellisense in the XAML page started to work again.
