WPF, VS, XAML: Disable Design-Mode in Visual Studio

visual-studio-2010-logo


It's very annoying when opening a XAML file the first time that it will start in design-mode for preview mode.

Visual Studio will render the XAML code but sometimes if you have a lot of controls in it it can take a long time too load.

But there is a option within Visual Studio to turn this feature off.

 

  1. Start Visual Studio
  2. Click on Tools -> Options
  3. Navigate to Text Editor -> XAML -> Miscellaneous
  4. Check the box Always open documents in full XAML view

Thanks for that! The time it was taking to load and save was really getting annoying
