User(s) can reproduce this bug
When opening a WPF application that is based on the .NET4.5 framework, you cannot open XAML files in Design or Spit view. Visual Studio 11 beta displays XAML correctly in its Design view.

You may also not be able to use the "Add New Item..." command to add files to your project.
Details (expand)

Product Version?

 

Blend for Visual Studio 11 Beta

Language?

C#

Issue Type?

Bug

Repro Steps? (N/A for Suggestion)

1. Create new Visual C# WPF Application project using the .NET 4.5 framework.
2. Open project in Blend for Visual Studio.
3. Open MainWindow.xaml.

The XAML file will open in code view with no Split or Design view tabs; however, the XAML will open and display correctly in Visual Studio 11 beta's Design View.

I was able to run the MockupToXaml.sln file just fine. It may not be supported, but it can run.

Hi Brad,
        Thanks for sending this feedback. WPF or SL projects are not supported in Blend for Visual Studio 2012,Only metro style application development is supported in this version.

The same thing is happening to me but with Blend included in Visual Studio 2012 RC. My project is a .NET 4.0 WPF application.
