XAML Intellisense Gone

Published at Jan 20 2009, 10:34 AM by pavely | 9 comment(s)

My XAML intellisense went away – just like that. The last thing I remember was installing Team Explorer for VS 2008. From that moment on, XAML intellisense disappeared. No Tools->Options settings appear to have any effect. It turns out this may happen after other types of installations related to Visual Studio. If you got this issue, it can probably be corrected with VS 2008 repair, but here’s how to correct it manually (much faster):

Open regedit.exe and navigate to:

(32 bit system) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{73B7DC00-F498-4ABD-AB79-D07AFD52F395}\InProcServer32

(64 bit system) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{73B7DC00-F498-4ABD-AB79-D07AFD52F395}\InProcServer32

if the (Default) value is empty – you got the issue… (a COM server is not registered properly).

To correct, open an admin command prompt and issue:

regsvr32 "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\TextMgrP.dll" (32 bit)

regsvr32 "%CommonProgramFiles(X86)%\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\TextMgrP.dll" (64 bit)

and presto! XAML intellisense is back (no need to restart Visual Studio).

Thanks so much for finding and publishing this - I thought I was losing my mind trying to figure out what happened, and now things are working again.

Fantastic! I didn't realize that Intellisense stopped working until yesterday, and it's been driving me crazy.

I installed Team Explorer a couple weeks ago. I'm using VS 2008 Express.

Hey, thanks a lot for the quick fix! I lost my XAML intellisense after installing Microsoft SDK 6.1 (For Windows Server 2008 and .Net Framework 3.5). Your fix saved me hours of searches! Greatly appreciated it!

Hrmmm..  after installing Windows 7, I no longer have TextMgrP.dll (and thus no XAML intellisense).

I faced the same problem and it couldn't be solved only with the command:

regsvr32 "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\TextMgrP.dll"

I also had to run the below command to fix this issue:

devenv /resetskippkgs
