It appears I am doing something wrong, but not sure what. I have a few years of Silverlight C# background so I thought I would be able to get going fairly quickly.
But I am finding that simple things are not so easy. For example, here are some of the problems I ran into.
1. I create a folder called view, and then created a new ItemsPage and added it to this folder and it created so many broken references to common I had to delete it.
2. After re-creating it at the top level I added a Textbox and it locked up the machine for about ten minutes. After it finally unlocked, I dont think it actually added a label, or at least I cant find it.
3. I tried binding the View to a ViewModel and it crashed the designer preview.
4. So, I deleted this page, and added a simpler "basicPage". Just adding this page caused the designer to crash again. Building it once didnt help, building it twice didnt help, but the third time, the designer was no longer crashed.
5. whenever I try to add a control to a page by either double clicking or dropping from the toolbox I get a message saying a reference has been added, no matter how many times I add the same control. It is not adding adding a reference and it
is not inserting a control.
6. When I opened Expression Blend, and created a new project, there was no new project, and most of the menu bars were white text on white background, until I moused over them. It was virtually impossible to do anything in EB because a project
could not be createdk though it claimed it was creating a project. And there were no files.
Is this going to be typical of what I am going to experience if I continue to attempt to develop in Metro C#?
Thanks,
