How do I disable the XAML visual designer ("Cider")?

I want to disable the XAML visual designer ("Cider") and work using only the XAML text editor. This is because the visual designer does not handle well the kind of XAML files that I'm writing.

I found no option in VS to do so. Any suggestions?

rightclick on the file you want to edit and click "Open With..." and click XML With Encoding (i think) and click set as default

Using the XML editor loses intellisense. A better option is to do the following:

- open the file in the designer

- press escape to cancel loading the designer

- make the XAML editor "full screen" by double-clicking on the bar in between the designer and the editor

From now on whenever you open the file it will be in "full screen" XAML mode

And please enter connect bugs on any XAML that does not load in the designer.

Does this apply to beta2?

Because in beta1 this doesn't really work (the editor does not remember its last state).

Hello,

Do I have to perform these steps for *every* XAML file?

Will there be an option to turn the visual editor completely off in the final version?
