hello,

im running the VS.NET 2005 C# express edition, and ive downloaded the .NET 3.0 plugins (which afaik, includes Cider). i am able to create a new XAML-based windows app, and work w/ it in xml/tag mode.

but i thought there was a visual editor for the Cider release how do i switch to its view/editor

thanks,
matt



Re: Visual Studio WPF Designer how do i make use of Cider?

The WPF extensions for VS 2005, which include the Cider designer, do not support the Express editions of Visual Studio. You need to have Standard, Professional, or better.

However, we have just released the March CTP of Visual Studio "Orcas", which includes a much improved version of the Cider WPF designer. If you have the bandwidth I would encourage you to download it. Look here for details.
