I have the following situation. I installed Visual Studio Update 3 last night. Now I have a problem that when I open my projects (Universal Apps) which i have done while i had update 2, my designer won't load and it throws an exception:
Does anyone knows how to solve this? I guess this is not a bug because probably everything was tested by Microsoft, and this is not RC update. Im about to delete this update if i don't figure out the solution. I'm guessing that it might have to do with xaml if anything changed?
I figured out from the connect bulletin that there are two folders in your Windows profile that need to have their contents cleared out in order for the Visual Studio designer to work with Visual Studio 2013 Update 3.
The two folders are:
For Blend: AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Blend\ShadowCache
For Visual Studio 2013: AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Designer\ShadowCache
Don't delete these folders, just delete the content of those folders and you will be back to working happily with the XAML designer again.
Clearing the ShadowCache did not resolve this for me. Found a clue from an MSDN article and checked the event viewer for exceptions, look for XDesProc.exe.
The problem was an out of date driver for my graphics card.
Once that was updated all started working again

When i'm typing code, the intellisense comes up to predict code, but before i can choose something in the list, its already gone. I know that you can use crtl+spacebar to bring it back up. But it's pretty annoying.
Does someone knows how to fix this?
(I'm using visual studio 17.3.1 (.Net - C#))
It is likely that this problem is caused by vs extension. You can try to disable the extensions and try again. If it doesn't work you can choose to reinstall Visual Studio.
I'm trying to access the project properties but the window appears blank. I've tried web solutions View>Properties Window, f4, right click on project folder>properties, Also tried resetting import/export settings, searching for specific tab
everything results in a blank window.. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
I ran into this same problem with VS 2022 v17.4.0 Preview 1.0 in a C# Windows forms app. Closing and opening the solution/VS didn't have any effect.
After I closed all the open tabs and reopened a file, the Properties pane was populating correctly.
Does your toolbox items also appear 'greyed out'?
Try Going to your Build Menu and select
Clean Solution
(and perhaps Rebuild afterward - or not)
This happens constantly on my install. I simply minimize the entire VS window, then restore it. Poof! My properties appear. Trivial, but painful.
1 Make sure that your build program is not running (use task manager to end that process if needed) and make sure that you can rebuild your project without errors.
2 Restart Visual Studio as an Administrator.
Good Luck For You All ^_^
I have just encountered this error and it was simply solved by closing the visual studio and reopening it again. it is just gone.
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've recently upgraded my project to Visual Basic 2008 and I'm getting the following errors which I cannot identify, I hope someone can help:
AxThreed.AxSSCommand is not defined
AxActiveInput.AxSSDropDownEdit is not defined
AxPVTEXT3DLib.AxPVText3D is not defined
Any idea what this is and how to fix it?
It looks these are references to 3rd Party ActiveX controls. ActiveThreed, Protoview Date Control, etc
You may need to Add/Re-Add the relevant control to your project. Right click on the toolbox so select the items to want to use. If you don't see them in the list to may need to register/re-register them on that machine
Have a look at this page for more info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973200.aspx
Number 3 here seems to indicate how to fix the problem... I believe some of your controls are not loading.
