Workflow help? Visual Studio 2017 + Blend + Unity
Posted: 15 Nov 2017, 14:35
Hey all, I'm interested in setting up a workflow between visual studio's XAML Designer Blend and I've hit some issues that are frustrating and tedious.
The documentation is outdated, the behavior in current Visual Blend/Studio does not represent the expected outcome of the tutorials.
These are a few of my frustrations;
Link to no longer exists as previously shown, add existing the 'substitute' has a dual behavior.
1) add existing to project, copies the file
2) add existing to the solution, links the file but cannot be rendered "Build the project to update the design view"
Open Unity solution directly in Blend/VS and Open XAML files directly
but XAML files don't render and refuse to open in XAML Designer
Now, I'm fully aware of how NoesisGUI is a middleware and there are various tools out there. but frankly, I can't find a XAML editor that works.
I've looked at Kaxaml, the websites went to some Asian site, I've tried Xaml editors from Git Hub that just don't work.
I'm eager to find a current workflow with Visual Studio 2017 and Unity. Unfortunately opening and editing the sample .xaml files, the XAML design previewer refuses to load or "Build the project to update the design view" which doesn't do anything.
