The WPF designer refuses to find classes in the defined namespaces when I try to use a UserControl in another UI element. No matter what I try (the list of things is long and distinguished), I thought I'd try something completely different.
I work as a contractor on a DoD installation. They've instituted a network share setup upon which all of our documents are supposed to be saved (including development projects). I decided to create a simple project on my own local drive, and lo and behold, the designer acts as expected (I can see the user control being rendered).
When I copied that project UNCHANGED to the proper network share location, the designer thinks my markup is invalid. It appears as if the WPF designer is a retard where network shares are concerned. C'mon Microsoft, fix this crap you call a development environment. I can't possibly be the first person to discover this.

I've never come across that, but you'll find a lot of that weird things in government systems. We have a "Z" drive where we're supposed to keep all our work.
But the network is set up such that you can't execute an application over the network...makes writing programs interesting, if you want to debug.
You also can't have those Evil media files on the shared drive...so it automatically deletes anything it finds. So much for using animated controls like the old file copy AVI.
I finally gave up struggling with it and got an extra drive put in my system.

I had just the same yesterday. I'm reviving my UI project and the views have always been designed with XAML. The controls and other classes of course are from my code and in their own namespaces, but the Visual Studio insists on opening the XAML in the designer. It always marks every single data type as wrong and claims to be unable to find it in the included namespaces. If I want to compile, I first must close all designer windows to get rid of those false errors.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

You can have VS always open the XAML files in the XAML text editor instead of the designer - I do this and it's SO much nicer.
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> XAML -> Miscellaneous -> Always Open Documents in Full XAML View. (This is in VS 2013)

Isn't that what source control is for?

That was my first thought, I have never attempted to use a network drive as my development source. Check out/in can be a dog on our network mind so the thought of using is for storage just make my toes curl.

Yup... saw that way back in VS2010.
I also get strange results if my project is in DropBox.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

I don't know if they fixed it, but the ASP.NET designer used to barf on even local paths if there was a "#" character anywhere in the path.
The excuse reason given was that "#" is not valid in a URL.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Well be fair: if Luton was destroyed by a nuclear weapons test, it would only get the headline "Urban improvements in Luton".
