Question

When I add my user control to the code in a XAML page the typeahead which prompt for elements and attributes stops working in that page. Everything works fine in runtime and I can display and use the user control as I want to, but in design time something gets corrupted.

If I comment out the user control using <!-- --> type-ahead starts working again. So while editing the XML I keep it commented, but it is a bit inconvenient to comment/uncomment every time I want to edit and then build & run.

The local namespace defined is shared among all classes in the project.

<local:MySettings Visibility="Collapsed" x:Name="MySettings" />

Answer 1

All of a sudden I notice that typeahead is working again…

As far as I know I did two things:

1. I did a Rebuild (instead of Build) in order to see if there were any warning messages
2. I closed VS to work on other things, and reopened just now.

Don’t know which one of these was the cure for the problem, but at least it disappeared!
