Intellisense disabled in XAML editor for Silverlight 5 and Visual Studio 2010 SP1

Some days ago the XAML editor of my Silverlight 5 project in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 stopped to work. Before it worked well. I see around in web that it's a known issue, but I can't find the cause and, specially, the solution (if it exists).

This usually happens when you add an xmlns definitions that prevent intellisense.

There are two major causes for this:

  1. You reference a namespace in the same assembly that the xaml resides in and it looks something like this:

    xmlns:myLabel="clr-namespace:MyAssembly.MyNamespace"

    this is an easy fix, just add ;assembly= at the end, so it looks like this:

    xmlns:myLabel="clr-namespace:MyAssembly.MyNamespace;assembly="

  2. You reference an assembly that has internal errors that affect reflection. This is more of a problem since it's very difficult to find what is it that the reflection doesn't like. So, the only way that I know to deal with it is to remove (comment) the offending xmlns definition and work with blue squiggly-lines all over the xaml (but with intellisense) and then to add the xmlns definitions back before building the project. And yes, it's a major PITA. :(

Hope that in your case it's the first cause.
