Visual Studio 2012 XAML Designer Vertical Split Can't Be Set As Default?

Question

Is there only Horizontal Split as default and not Vertical Split? Again or my eyes are going bad? It was an issue in VS2008 and VS2010 when it was per-file basis so nothing has changed?

Answer 1

Yep there is currently no way of defaulting to a vertical split for the XAML designer in VS2012.

Like you mentioned the only way at this point is doing it per-file basis as these settings are saved together in your .suo file.

This applies to VS08 and VS10 or VS12...

If you do want to let microsoft know that you would like this to be a feature you can send them a request here

Here is the original thread about this issue.

Its funny though that their HTML designer does allow defaulting to vertical split..
