Questionxaml problems with Blend and VS2008 - deleting line

    I have found that when I open my files (project) in Blend3 this line xmlns:d=http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2006 is removed automatically. I have to manually add it back into each individual file that I have opened. VS2008 isn't nearly as strong for the cosmetics but this is insane to have it delete the reference every time in Blend. I am spending just as much time adding the references back as I am if I just hand coded the changes in VS instead of Blend.

    What is wrong? And, thank you!

    Hi Chris,

    We automatically try to update xmlns:d=http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2006  to xmlns:d=http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008 (which is the preferred namespace for designer properties that we presist in XAML). Do you find that both are missing (in which case the XAML is not invalid)? If so, this is not a known issue

    From reading your post, it is not clear to me that just opening the file should remove it - what changes do you have to make to cause this inside Blend?

    Thanks,
    Unni

    Actually, I think I have found a bug. As I said above the " xmlns:d=http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2006" is completely removed and I must manually replace this line each time. I think the only thing I have to do is save for the line to be removed. I was working cosmetic changes, changing the background.

    Also, this problem has returned and the app works fine in vs2008 but fails to open in Blend now with a different error. I wish I could paste a picture in here to show you the error string. Should Blend2 be completely removed?
