When debugging in Visual Studio 2017 it hides the xaml visual designer when opening a xaml document, showing only the xaml text. Is it still possible to show the visual designer when debugging?
I've just started using Visual Studio 2017 Community edition. I was previously using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate.
This is by design (https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/178903/vs2017-hides-xaml-designer-when-debugging.html):
"This is by design starting with 2017. We do not want people to interact with the designer while in a debugging session.", Charles Bissonnette [MSFT]
With the UI Debugging Tools for XAML your running application is the Designer.

According the official site, this is a ugly and strange bug of some VS updates:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs-knownissues/vs2015-update3
In some cases, applying Updates to VS 2015 can cause the optional feature selections for Visual C++ (e.g. Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015) to become deselected and uninstalled. This issue can be resolved by re-selecting the required Visual C++ features in the Visual Studio 2015 setup dialog.
In "Programs and Features" (Add/Remove Programs), select "Microsoft Visual Studio 2015", then click "Change".
In the Visual Studio setup dialog, click "Modify"
Select/check "Programming Languages->Visual C++->Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015" and other features under "Programming Languages->Visual C++", as appropriate.
Click "UPDATE".
How do I set an icon for my c++ application? I'm using visual studio 2013 express. all the questions like this that have been on the same topic were all visual studio 2008 and i don't know if there's any different with the way the icons work.
Not 100% sure, but I believe if you click on the title bar in the design tab, in the properties panel, you would be able to select one.
I've been searching for an answer for an hour with no luck. I'm using the Express edition of Visual Studio 2012 and I want to add an icon to my C++ application. How can I do this? Also how do I change the description of the application? Thanks.
