I am having the same issue - getting the "enumerator is not valid because the collection changed" exception in Blend.

I have a XamChart with two of series of ChartType = "stackedColumn" hosted inside a user control.  Whenever I add the user control to a window, Blend stops rendering the window and shows the error above. 

The funny thing is that I have another XamChart with one series of ChartType = "bar" hosted inside another user control - and there are no problems with that one.

I will open a ticket with support, but it would be great if the workarounds were posted here - it's a lot faster to get the information.

Hey, I feel your pain.

The solution, I found, is that you should not set the DataContext in Xaml.  You can set the DataContext in the C# code behind at will.

Let me know if that helps.

I hope it does.

Unfortunately, I'm not setting the datacontext in XAML.  I just have a series defined - see below.
As soon as I add the user control below to a window, Blend does not render with window and displays the exception:

    "Getting the "enumerator is not valid because the collection changed"

Hello Emmanuel,

Has this issue been resolved?

I received the same error message with WPF DV 10.2 in Visual Studio 2010 when I was doing trial license expiration testing.  I was able to solve the problem by deleting all content in the licenses.licx file.  This file should be located in your project folder under the Properties subfolder.

This might be a different issue than you experienced, as I was advised that this is a common error message in .NET.  I would suggest backing up the licenses.licx file and then deleting all content.
