In Visual Studio 2008, when you add a new XAML window to a WPF Application Project, the default view you get is "split view" where the visual designer and the XAML code are shown one above the other in the same document.
I prefer an alternative view which you can get by double-clicking on either the Design or XAML tabs. The visual designer and the XAML are in separate side-by-side tabbed views. This makes it easy to switch between them
I want to know if it possible to make this the default view for all new XAML documents I add to my project, and where in the options you would set it.
To open the XAML Designer, right-click a XAML file in Solution Explorer and choose View Designer. to switch which window appears on top: either the artboard or the XAML editor.
XAML is a lightweight XAML Editor. While coding, the corresponding design preview can be displayed in real time.
The XAML code editor in the Visual Studio IDE includes all the tools you need to create WPF and UWP apps for the Windows platform, and for Xamarin. Forms.
