Blend for Visual Studio 2012 - No design view


I have a normal WPF MVVM-Light application, that I tried opening in Blend (first time I used Blend for Visual Studio 2012 on my Windows 8 machine).

However, I'm not able to open the Design View, which pretty much renders Blend useless.

One issue I read was that it happens when your application's Output Type is set to Console, which isn't the case for me. Anyone else seen this?

Solution

  • Apparantly, Blend included in VS2012 only supports Windows 8 Apps.

    However, there's a preview been released for Blend + Sketchflow that allows other platforms here :
