System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException when opening a XAML page?

Question

I have a project that I've worked on for several months now without problem.  Yesterday I started getting the following Exception crash report from the designer process (XDE) when I try to open the page for further work:

    System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException
	[5080] Designer process terminated unexpectedly!
	   at Microsoft.Expression.DesignHost.Isolation.Primitives.ProcessDomainFactory.ProcessIsolationDomain.Microsoft.Expression.DesignHost.Isolation.IIsolationDomain.CreateInstance(String assemblyName, String assemblyCodeBase, String typeName)
	   at Microsoft.Expression.DesignHost.Isolation.Primitives.IsolationBoundary.Initialize()
	   at Microsoft.Expression.DesignHost.Isolation.Primitives.IsolationBoundary.CreateInstance[T](Type type)
	   at Microsoft.Expression.DesignHost.Isolation.IsolatedObjectFactory.Initialize()
	   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExpressionHost.Services.VSIsolationService.CreateObjectFactory(IIsolationTarget isolationTarget, IObjectCatalog catalog)
	   at Microsoft.Expression.DesignHost.Isolation.IsolationService.CreateLease(IIsolationTarget isolationTarget)
	   at Microsoft.Expression.DesignHost.IsolatedDesignerService.CreateLease(IIsolationTarget isolationTarget, CancellationToken cancelToken, DesignerServiceEntry& entry)
	   at Microsoft.Expression.DesignHost.IsolatedDesignerService.IsolatedDesignerView.CreateDesignerViewInfo(CancellationToken cancelToken)
	   at Microsoft.Expression.DesignHost.Isolation.IsolatedTaskScheduler.InvokeWithCulture[T](CultureInfo culture, Func`2 func, CancellationToken cancelToken)
	   at Microsoft.Expression.DesignHost.Isolation.IsolatedTaskScheduler.<>c__DisplayClassa`1.<StartTask>b__6()
	   at System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1.InnerInvoke()
	   at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Execute() 	

Trying to reload the designer doesn't work.  Unfortunately trying to open any other XAML page in the project also gets this error.  *However*, I can still open XAML pages in other projects without error.  Has anybody seen this problem and knows what to do to fix it?  I am using Visual Studio 2013 Update 3.

Hi roschler,

I think there is something wrong with your environment, I have designer crash issue weeks ago and I restart my machine fix the problem, could you test it?
