I seem to have a sudden issue with my XAML Designer view in VS2012, and a similar behavior in Blend as well. the view has stopped updating and I'm unable to see any changes immediately if I change any properties.
if I scroll or Pan, the Phone chrome seems to move but the content stays put. It gets restored upon slightly adjusting the borders or restarting the page. has anyone else faced this issue? do you know what I need to do? I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Professional (Update 2)
this image will show you what I mean. I re-installed the app and it didn't help
I had the same problem and I solved it.
I don't know which Graphics you have, but I have an Intel 4000 and a Nvidia 640m and I have to start Visual Studio with the Nvidia Graphics.
Maybe it's the same problem.
Had the same problem when doing XAML design for Silverlight 5 app in VS2012.
Have a HP 8570p with Intel HD Graphics 4000. Win7 64bit
I had the driver version 9.17.10.2867 released 17 Jan 2014.
Had to revert back to 8.15.10.2712 released 22 Jun 2012 and it worked there.
Edit 2014-03-25: Reinstalled the newer driver(was going to test something and remembered this) and now it seems to work with the newer driver version.
I wanted to put this as a comment on the question but that option isn't there for me... Not sure why.
I really don't think it's a memory issue. That doesn't explain resizing fixing the problem? Since this happens for you with all wp applications and not windows 8 I don't think its related to the emulator. I would try reinstalling the windows phone sdk and or the Silverlight runtime. Silverlight might be the faster options to start with.
Also a question, when you say all wp projects. Have you tried this with a CLEAN nothing added or changed project?

I tried installing Xammp on my pc (windows 8.1) and it says api-ms-....dll is missing. I have tried every solution I've seen online like upgrading my OS, downloading and installing a new visual studio redistributed 2015 but still not working. please would changing the OS solve this problem?
My question is, does changing the OS from maybe windows 8.1 to windows 7 solve this problem? because I have tried most of the online solutions but still having the same issue
You need to install the following windows update: KB2999226 (Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows)
The missing dll api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is installed with a Windows update. To resolve this issue, download and install the Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows from Microsoft. (Source)
Sidenote: The details page from Microsoft was last updated in Jan 2017. You probably should install all other updates that have been released since then.
We are getting a application failed to initialize error 0xc000007b. I looked around it seems to maybe be the .NET framework, I also read a possible virus.
Our application is Visual Basic .NET 2010, running on Windows XP, Windows Update is turned on.
What fixes the problem, seems to be temporary, is take my backup copy of the .exe and replace the .exe on the machine, it runs for a few hours. Keep in mind I am 12 hours away or more from the machine, I remote to it using TeamViewer.
Will event viewer or something else give me a better idea of what happened? or more information about the error and it's cause?
I'm far from a Visual Basic guru, so I'm very puzzled as to why this application is throwing this error after running for approximately 2 years.
Can windows update cause this? Does .NET framework update itself automatically?
Thanks for any help.
Well if your program was not recompiled, I'd doubt it's the program itself, but if you have the source code you can try running it through the debugger to see what's going on, and where. Personally I'd try just reimaging your xp system and seeing if that fixes the issue.
Also, isn't xp out of support? I suppose windows updates could affect it. I've seen updates cause older applications to break, so it is a possibility. You can look at the recent updates and roll them back.
I've created a C++ UWP Windows 10 app using Visual Studio 2015. However, I'm not able to visualize any xaml in the designer because I'm always getting a System.NullReferenceException error. How can I fix this?
That's very odd but I solved following these steps:
Close any instance of Visual Studio
Open Visual studio and create a new C# UWP empty project (name it as you like, do not matter)
Run the "useless" created project then close it as Visual Studio
Open again your previous C++ UWP project
In my case everything started working!
Switching solution platform to x86 worked for me.
I'm experiencing exactly the same problem on my primary development machine but not on another. The reason is... I think... When I installed Visual Studio 2015 on the 2nd machine, the first time I created a Universal Solution (C#) I was shown a dialog asking me to OK "elevated permissions" (custom permissions) for the VS2015 installation folder. I OK'd it and Designer works on that machine in both Blend2015 and VS2015 (community edition)
On the other machine I was never shown the dialog asking me to confirm elevated permissions and Designer does NOT work on that machine (VS2015 Enterprise). This machine also has VS2013 update 5) on it.
I am thinking that I might have to completely wipe off VS2015 and try to clean the registry of all VS2105 references AND remove the VS2015 installation directories on C:\ AND when I reinstall, create a installation directory with a different name (if I can). What a PAIN though... I'm waiting to see if MS delivers a simple solution since I'm quite positive that this whole issue boils down to a bug (feature... grrr) having to do with custom permissions that can't be changed (or added) after installation.
Would be nice is MS would confirm this...
(please note, none of this involved c++... it was all C#)

this is the dialog I was shown on the machine where Designer works]1
Installing the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 10 solved the issue for me. It may ask to unistall the previous version of Windows 10 RTM SDK
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk
This is fixed in Update 1 of Visual Studio 2015

So I have a program I've been making in VB for my company through Visual Studio 2013 Express for Desktop and have not worked on it in a couple of months. When I try to open it, I get the following error:
"The VB project "WindowsApplication1" is targeting ".NETFramework,Version=4.5" which is not installed on this machine."

I have all of the .NET frameworks installed including all developer and service packs (even language packs). I uninstalled all .NET frameworks and re-installed each of them without any resolution.
I tried to re-install Visual Studio and even tried changing the Framework (one of the options I have) but I cannot view any code or open designer view if I do so. (http://imageshack.com/a/img633/2109/OJaXbr.png)
The strange thing is this computer is the same one I have been developing this application on for months, so I'm not sure what happened over the last 60 days since I launched it.
Does anyone have any clues as to how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
The path to your project must be Les then 256 Character.
That can be the reason of it.
Make sure the path is short "Copy the project to your c drive "C:\ProjectFolder" and try again".
We are using MVVM Light Toolkit (from Galasoft - Laurent Bugnion).
Until now we were using Visual Studio 2010.
Everything was working well (thanks to Laurent).
Two days ago we moved to Visual Studio 2012.
And now Intellisense is no longer working in Xaml files (but still working in code-behind).
After looking on forums and made some tests, it appears that we have an issue with "GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Extras.SL5.dll".
As soon as GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Extras.SL5.dll is removed from project references, intellisense is working again.
Someone already had same problem and/or know a solution ?
Thanks.
Alain.
We had a similar problem when we migrated from Silverlight 4 to 5. We were using a local copy of GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Extras.SL5.dll copied from another computer.
Once we installed the MvvmLight .msi package and changed the reference in our Silverlight project to C:\Program Files (x86)\[...]\GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Extras.SL5.dll, IntelliSense started working again.
Hope this helps
