Visual Studio 2013, WPF application, cannot view WebView control in the designer

Question

ArcGIS SDK 100.0 .NET WPF

I only see "Cannot create an instance of MapView" in the designer, but the application does run, and the MapView control works as expected. I've tried uninstalling the extension and re-installing but no luck. I get the same result on Windows 10 and Windows 7 machines. Has no one else seen this?

Since VS is still a 32-bit process too, therefore it would be trying to load the 32-bit runtime.

Glad it worked. It would make sense that installing x32 resolved the issue because by default a WPF Application has prefer 32 bit checked on and app needed 32 bit redistributable which was missing earlier.

Preeti ,

I did install the VC 2015 redist, but only 64-bit. Installing the 32 bit as well cleared it all up.

Thanks,

Charles
