This might become little annoying when you have a large XAML document, because all the content needs to be rendered before you can get some work done.

You can fix this issue by modifying Visual Studio settings

  • Go to Tools, Options.
  • Under Text Editor open the XAML section and select Miscellaneous.
  • Under Default View check the Always open documents in full XAML view box
  • Click OK to Apply
Always open documents in full XAML view

Dotnetthoughts.Utilities, Version=1.2.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a78a5c561934e012

You can find the public key token using Strong Name tool(sn.exe). Open your Visual Studio 2010 command prompt, use the following command. (sn.exe will be also available in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\[Version]\bin location)

sn -T [assembly name]

This will print the public key token of the assembly like this.

Cannot publish because a project failed to Build. An error occurred while signing - Signtool.exe not found.

Cannot publish because a project failed to Build. An error occurred while signing - Signtool.exe not found.

It was working long back, but suddenly it stopped working. Then I found the problem, it was because of .Net Framework 4.5 developer preview installation. I un installed it. You may also need to repair the Visual Studio installation, otherwise Visual Studio will not work.
