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?
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
