Yeah, VS 2013 only seems to support WP8, so when I converted the project I think it retargeted to WP8. I suppose we could leave it as a VS 2012 project, but I don’t know if that makes much sense. Anyways, I never do side by side VS installs so I only have 2013 on my machine right now

Did you upgrade the project to Windows Phone 8? I recall seeing this error a long time ago when I tried to upgrade the project and never got around to root-causing it. Let me try to talk to some folks internally, my guess is that something is weird with how the project is setup as we started this with a super earlier version of the WP7 dev kit long before it was ever released.

Hey Sean,

I synced, rebuilt and updated the project to VS 2013. But the app won’t run, and I don’t know why. Maybe Rob can help….I get this very strange error on launch:

No XAML was found at the location '/MainPage.xaml'.

I have no idea how that can be….I think it has something to do with Microsoft.Phone.Toolkit. I grabbed the latest off of NuGet but it still doesn’t work.

No idea what’s going on. I’ll push what I have up to the depot so somebody else might be able to figure it out.

The project opens and compiles for me just fine with Visual Studio 2013.
