I'm using Blend + Sketchflow Preview for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012, Version 5.2.30810.0.

When I compile my solution (Silverlight 5, Async targeting pack, WCF RIA services and some C++ projects), Blend crashes with the following error message after the compile:

TargetInvocationException: Inner exception: NullReferenceException at Microsoft.Expression.DesignSurface.Assemblies.AssemblySource.OnFileChanged

Details (expand)

Blend for Windows Developer Preview

Bug

I load our project, then click Tools->Compile. After the silverlight project, the exception is happening.

Hello! While trying to create a small repro project, I found another crash: I loaded the Silverlight 4 Toolkit and loaded the solution RiaClient.Sdk. Then I compiled, and Blend crashed, see the attached crash dump. WERDAA5.tmp.zip.
I will try to create a repro solution.
