enter image description here

For some reason, I can no longer bind anything through Expression Blend. I have to go into the XAML and bind things there which is a real productivity kill. In the screenshot above, there is absolutely no reason why the OK should not be enabled and available to click. Is this a known bug? Am I doing something wrong? My XAML is checked out and not read only. If I manually bind the control and come back the bind dialog works fine. This happens everywhere with all kinds of binding.

I’ve also posted this on the Expression Blend forum here.

Edits:

I’ve recently plugged my project into TFS 2012. It was in Source Safe before (yeah I know). The file is checked out and NOT set to read-only. But might this change have caused the problem? Anybody?

Further Edits:

This is getting really frustrating. A person on the Expression Blend forum told me that this has something I can do to get it to work. Its a real productivity sucker to have to switch over to XAML whenever I want to bind something. Its also not just element binding, its all binding that is like this. HELP!

    It’s a bug that Microsoft is aware of. You can find more information;

    though I’m not sure if there’s a submission to MSConnect for it even if Erik over at MSFT says it is “on his to-do list.” Hope this helps…
