I've worked with Visual Studio 2008 and editing XAML was really painful because the designer reloaded very slowly. Now I have installed Visual Studio 2010 and it seems to me that the XAML editor + Designer haven't changed much.

For example in order to force designer to change a color in my control I have to close the xaml file and open it again.

Is it just my problem?

I've tried this solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/859335/visual-studio-2008-xaml-editor-not-working-disappeared but it didn't help.

Are there any better tools for Visual Studio to edit XAML?

Thanks!

We are currently building a WPF solution in Blend 3 and Intellisense is extremely slow. Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 beta 2 do not have any problems, Blend 2 did not have any issues either. How would it be possible to disable Intellisense in the XAML editor. Many Thanks, KShaban >>> More
