WPF design rendering is dramaticaly slow Visual Studio 2008? Are there any tweaks that could speed it up?

Question

I just wanted to do some tutorials in WPF but I find that the designer works very slow in comparision to Windows Forms/GDI+.

Are there any tweaks to speed it up?

Answer 1

If you're just after a bit of XAML editing, you can use a separate editor, such as XamlPad. That has much quicker rendering than the VS designer.
