I have Visual Studio 2013 Express version:12.0.21005.1REL with Team Foundation Server 2012 express installed.

I need to alter a Build Process xaml file however when I download from source control and open the file this happens:

design view

The machine I am using is a 64bit system running a 64 bit windows 7 - but I am very surprised this should happen. How exactly do I go about altering this build process when the design view is not operable and the xml is horridly difficult to read / alter. Are there any resources which can help me?

Or is there anyway I can fix this?

  • What is the configuration your current project is compiling under? The designer only supports loading X86 binaries. This means that when you are working in a solution/project that's configured for X64 or ARM the designer won't load correctly. – Wouter de Kort Jul 04 '14 at 19:17

Visual Studio is opening the xaml in split view to enable the visual designer to work. This link explains how to set VS to open xaml files in full text mode.

EDIT

I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you wanted to do. Seems this is a bug that has been reported with a possible workaround mentioned here and a relevant SO question here.
