I am still trying to work through this conversion to .NET 4.5. I cannot create a sample project to recreate. All Infragistics controls will not render in the designer in VS2012 or Blend CTP2 Update2. Here are examples of the errors:

Exception: The component 'Infragistics.Windows.Design.SmartTagFramework.SmartButtonAdorner' does not have a resource identified by the URI '/InfragisticsWPF.Design.VS2012;component/smarttagframework/smartbuttonadorner.xaml'.

and

Method not found:Infragistics.Windows.Themes.ResourceSetLocator Infragistics.Windows.Themes.EditorsResourceSet'1.get_Location()

The rest of the view is rendered, but the designer cannot render any Infragistics controls.

Any suggestions you have to help me resolve these issues would be appreciated. All of the projects rendered views correctly when the projects were on .NET 4

are these messages indicating that some helper design.dll or design.VS2012.dll is missing or corrupted?

Hello,

Could you please send us the exact version of VS, OS and NetAdvantage that you are using, so we could be able to investigate this further for you?

Hello again,

Could please try to change the target framework of the sample I attached, so we find out where exactly the issue comes from.

Looking forward for your reply.

yes, thank you all for your help.

Hello,

If I read your last update correctly you have resolved the designer issue and this is now working correctly.

Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

ugh, apparently somewhere along the line some references to our own assemblies got corrupted and/or there was a custom converter throwing an exception that never appeared in any of the stack traces we were looking at and didn't happen before the switch to .NET4.5... Why IG was blowing up the designer because of these.. I will probably never know.

Thank you for YOUR patience.

Interestingly there are also multiple instances of your assemblies in memory which I'm guessing is why there are multiple instances of our assemblies. So for example I see that 2 Asset.Resources assemblies are loaded - which while they have the same version number seem to have different dates (1 from 3/15 and another from 3/18). In other cases (e.g. MVVM.Markup) I see 3 copies of your assemblies loaded. I suspect if you correct that then the designer issue will go away.

I've got nothing but patience now. Thanks for your help.

I have attached to XDesProc and added that Module output to the spreadsheet attached.

Definitely seeing 2-3 instances of many but not all IG assemblies. They all seem to be the version-free assemblies and the correct version 12.2.20122.2089.

It seems that where some are referenced 3 times, the VS2012.dll verison is only referenced twice. I don't know if that is a tell or not.
