UWP Composition API breaks Visual Studio 2015 Designer - Cannot load a reference assembly for execution
When I create custom control that uses new Composition API from Anniversary Update, then Visual Studio Designer is broken:
However the application runs just fine.
Why is that? how to avoid it?
EDIT: Please, vote on UserVoice (Fix the UWP designer errors) so Microsoft will adress this issues finally.
Visual Studio 2017 is out for a while, two VS updates has been released and nobody adressing issues with UWP designer.
I partially solved the problem by using animation helpers and controls like DropShadowPanel from https://github.com/Microsoft/UWPCommunityToolkit and upgrading to Visual Studio 2017 and installing all updated and installing latest windows update (creators)
UWP designer sucks anyway, but at least some views works, when I do not use composition api directly.
