Unable to edit Desktop Client properties and screen navigation

Question

Hi,

I am not able to launch the dialogs for editing the Client properties or the screen navigation inside of an upgraded HTML Client project. Nothing shows up. Here is a screenshot inside my instance of the ContosoMoving tutorial.

Is it working for anyone else? Any suggestions apart from editing the LSML by hand for now?

Thanks

Answer 1

It was not just the properties, I could not load the entity/screen designer either.

I unload/reloaded the project and it started working. I will try to determine what action caused it to stop working.

Answer 2

Not sure what caused it to happen. The LightSwitch application would not build and run any more and was reporting duplicate definitions. This must have been causing the designer not to load.

The resolution was to 'Clean Solution' and 'Rebuild'. Then all back to normal. If it happens again I will try to capture more details but the workaround is simple enough for now.
