Design view is unavailable for x64 and ARM target platforms

I've started seeing this message when I set the Configuration Manager to build for the ARM platform. The error output also reports that LayoutAwarePage does not existing in the namespace "using:<appname>.Common", and that the member Resources is
not recognised or accessible. I'm unable to access the properties of any XAML object whilst VS2012 is in this state.
These problems go away if I switch the build back to x86 but that slows down development and also seems to trigger the wiping of the Local app storage on the Surface RT when I redeploy the app; that doesn't seem to happen if I keep the configuration manager
set to ARM but then I can't do any XAML work.
Any thoughts on what might have caused this or how I can try and determine what has happened? I've gone back over the source history to see what has changed but I'm not seeing anything that occurs to me as a possible cause.

So XAML Designer *never* works if you've selected x64 or ARM as the build process?
I'm not sure if I misunderstand what you mean by Intellisense but what *definitely* breaks is the ability to work with the Properties pane when XAML Designer isn't working so even if you are working on raw XAML and not using the design surface, the experience
is really poor. I might just as well be using Notepad :-(.
I hope there is a solution to this soon. I'm heavily using my Surface RT as my debugging device - a big improvement on trying to use a non-touch laptop - but this problem is having a significant impact on my productivity as I try to work on some UI/XAML
issues.

Hi MonsterMMORPG,
I made a mistake in my previous reply. What I suggested is that you created a new and simple WPF app, set the platform to
x64 rather than x86, and then build the app to check the result.
If a new WPF app also has this issue, then I doubt whether this issue is related to your VS.

Design View Nonworkable - Fine in Browsers and Validation

Hi!
I have year old sites and new sites using CSS and server side
includes (both php and asp) that are nonworkable in design view in
Dreamweaver CS3. Sites were fine in Macromedia 8 but not now. My
very old sites are fine - they are straight HTML sites.
I have read several past posts on this problem and ruled out
many of the solutions for my case. My pages are clean in WC3
validation (meaning no errors) - since this is what Adobe
Dreamweaver support was concerned about when I took out an support
incident with them. The sites display fine in 6 browsers, but not
in DW CS3 now that I upgraded. This makes no sense.
I see some answers that CS3 is not as tolerant as before of
bad coding. This is not the issue, it is validated and displaying
across browsers fine.
I and my staff are crippled working on these sites now that
we have all upgraded to CS3 with the way they are displaying.
Here are some pages that I am having problems with:
http://www.scandpg.org/meeting_event.php
http://www.eatrightny.org/about/about_site.php
http://www.eatrightmissouri.org/jobs/index.asp
(site workign on now, not live)
http://www.hada.com/about/board.asp
I have found if I uncheck server side includes in preferences
for invisible elements I can work on the content better, but this
is a workaround but does not resolve the fact that DW is not
displaying coding in view correctly and still leaves some issues
when developing a site.
Thanks for your help in shedding light on this as I may be
off. My conclusions are drawn from a support incident/ticket with
Adobe on this very same thing, looking at the DW forum postings
over the last six months on this and my own recent experiences.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Healthy regards,
Teresa

If you want to work in DW, then you must adopt this approach
to the use of
server-side includes:
> The parent file is the ONLY one that can contain
<html>, <head>, or <body>
> tags.
> The include files cannot contain those tags.
> The final assembled page must therefore only contain one
instance of each
> with its associated closing tag.
That seems to be your largest problem.

Design a custom Storefront for iOS and Android

Hi everybody, I'm currently designing a CS for iOS based on the barebone example by Derek Lu (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/getting-started-with-v2-librar y-and-store-api.html). So I tried the sample out on iOS and it works.
Then I uploaded it to an Android App as a Library, and Im getting the Error: ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME.
Ok, so I downloaded the Custom Android Storefront from the Store Configurator and took the AdobeLibraryAPI.min.js file. I switched the API file from my iOS-Custom Storefront (Derek Lus) with the one from the Android Store Configurator.
But now the Android app doesn't show any Folios, just a white screen. I checked via remote debugging for error messages: Except "Ressource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME Type text/plain" there are no errors.
Device: Nexus 10 @ Android 4.4.4
Debugging with latest Chrome Canary on Mac (39.0.2129.0 64-Bit)

Our SDK documentation is updated and has notes for each of the APIs that are supported on each platform. You can find it at http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/DPSViewerSDK-2.32/docs/library/ind ex.html.
You should just update to use the latest LibraryAPI.js and be good to go. One big difference: you are responsible for calling UpdateLibrary() on Android every time you want the library to refresh its content or entitlement info. For example, after the reader signs in with direct entitlement on Android, you need to call UpdateLibrary(). This is different than iOS.

View change documents for risks and functions

Is there a way to see what changes have been made to risks and/or functions? Our SOX group would like to monitor the changes that have been made, who they've been made by and when. Currently we can go into the individual functions and risks and look at the "Change History" but not sure if there was a way to see a massive list? Possibly a table that we can pull?
Thanks for any help!
Elizabeth

Hello Elisabeth,
unfortunately in 5.2, you will have to go to the individual functions.
5.3 will have a one-click overview for risk/function changes, as well as configuration changes.

What is the proper method to access exported functions in a DLL compiled for a CE (Arm) target?

I have been trying without success to access functions in a DLL that is targetted for Windows CE. My Labview application target is an Arm-based TouchPanel device.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, you can't load an ARM DLL into a VI that is loaded on Windows. The ARM DLL has a different object format, that the Windows loader doesn't know and even if it did, the Intel CPU can't interpret the ARM opcodes in that DLL.
In order to be able to load and debug your application on your host system, you need to create a so called stub library. This is a DLL, compiled for the host system, that provides one equally named function for every function in the target DLL, that you want to call. You create such a DLL in Visual Studio, by taking the header file and adding an (empty) function body to each function you want to call, and then compiling this into a DLL.
Of course you won't be able to debug the DLL call itself on the host system, unless you fill in some sensible functionality into the stub function yourself, but you can load the VI hierarchy and debug other aspects of your application.
I haven't played with this specific part of mobile development yet but I believe that you can debug the VI in question from your host system when you start it under the mobile target. But you still need to provide the stub DLL, so that LabVIEW can load the VI into memory. The actual execution happens on the target and the data is transfered back to the host system through a debug channel to be displayed in that VI, but the stub DLL is required so LabVIEW can load the entire VI hierarchy to allow debugging the VI.

Disappearing Design View Toolbar on iOS

Hi there, recently had some issues on BC. When viewing my admin panel via iphone/ipad it seems as though design view is unavailable for me when viewing it through iOS devices. I'm stuck in HTML view and theres no design view tab like on the desktop version. This obv means I can't access the toolbar to add in images and so on. Is there a way of restoring it? It was there about a month ago last time I checked but it seems to have vanished!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
This definitely appears to be a bug if only happening on iOS (iPad/iPhone). Please submit a case or reach direct chat support so they can investigate this further to confirm.

What is the replacement for design view in in flex builder 4.7 for cs extension builder?

Because design view is not available in flash builder than what is the use of extension builder in UI designing now we have to do design UI with xml which is very time consuming and boring if there is any replacemnt for it than please help me .1 more thing i want to know is that when i make new default project in extension builder(flash builder 4.6) than it also not able to load design mode errror is
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.cside.libsinstaller_2.0.0.4-33034\archive\cslibs\2.0\4.5\re lease\apedelta.swc- not respondingSWC file failed to load. Any component dependent on this SWC file will not be displayed in the Design Mode.The SWC may have failed to load because of:
* Incompatible definitions caused by usage of a different SDK version
* Missing referred class definitions

I have researched this quite considerably and my understanding is that Adobe have no intention of supporting Design View any more for Extension Builder. In my opinion a very disappointing decision and one that is hard to comprehend.
The best workaround I can find is to create the majority of your design in a parallel, non Extension Builder, project and then convert/import your design into your Extension. This is by no means as satisfactory as having Design View for the Extension you are writing but it is better than simply creating your layout by guess work/trial and error.
Although this has not been announced by Adobe, I have a suspicion that the reason they have decided not to put any further resources into fixing Design View is that Extension Builder as we know it is going to be abandoned soon, probably replaced with an HTML5/JavaScript method of building extensions. My concern with this is that, other than wanting reassurances that there will be backward compatibility support for old extensions, There will not be a way of compiling an extension in a way that prevents people from seeing your code.
This is all speculation and I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. Hope this has helped.

Unable to view page content in Design View

I cannot see the content of a page made from a template in normal Design view.
I am able to see the content in Live View mode, but cannot make changes in that view. I can only make changes in code view.
My client would like to make changes to content text in Design view only.
Why am I unable to see/edit in Design view?
Two screencaps and the page code are here:

There are two questions for the Spry Menu 2 version.
1) Do I have to make all menu title and link changes in code? With the regular Spry menu that comes with DW CS5 you can make the changes, and add links to menu items, in the "Design > Properties" window. I would sure like to be able to do that, rather than go to the strictly "code" view and work in there.
2) With the Spry 2 menu at the top ( see www.Aloe-Vera.org/test.htm ) I am unable to go into "Design" view for the page to make changes in the content of the page itself.
Are there any fixes so that I can view and edit the rest of the page in DW CS5 "Design" view?
Thanks, David
1. It is true you cannot use the Properties window. You can use the code view or the Widget Browser to make edits. The Widget Browser has a GUI if you feel more comfortable with that.
2. You should be able to make some changes in Design View, but unfortunately the GUI and clean layout in Design View is gone. Best suggestion I can give you here is to file a bug report/feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . I have before with this because I agree it helps newer users and compared to commercial alternatives like those from Project Seven it falls short everytime.

Design View - Can't believe it's gone!

I have been using Flash Builder since it was Flex Builder. Actually, since flex was introduced. Once of the best features of Flash Builder over other IDE's was the ability to use a GUI to layout elements on the page. I just downloaded the trial version on Flash Builder 4.7 to see all of the new features and start playing with it, and that's when I noticed that there was NO Source/Design tabs. At first, I thought there must be a check mark somewhere to turn them on. After I could not find any settings that enabled the Design Veiw, I did a search on Google, and found out that it has been removed.
REALLY! OK. I have read peoples comments saying that if you are a Real programmer, you don't need it. Well, if I am a real driver, I really don't need leather seats and Air Conditioning either. The Design View was what set Flash Builder apart from other IDE's! And you got rid of it!?
Well, this is one developer who will not be upgrading to 4.7, when I could just use a free IDE to get the same results. Adobe, if you really care about your END USERS - The people that actually use your products, don;t change things that made your products what they are! When something works, don't fix it!
I can not imaging Flash Builder ever seeing a Version 5 if the Design View is not brought back.
So, hey... Adobe management - it's your lively hood because it's us developers that use your products that pay for your new releases that keep you in business. You have to show me why I should spend the $250 to upgrade when there are many FREE products out there that will now do everything that 4.7 will do. I just don't get it.
Thanks for listening, and I hope this comment is not just lost, forgotten or locked and displaced.

I guess that when they set at the round table, and discussed what it would mean if they removed the Design View, they must have though... nevermind, I have no idea what they were thinking. All I know is, I love Adobe Products, I have purchased the CS suites since CS2, and I have been using Flex since it was introduced. Design View, however such a "small" part of the overall Flex concept, is a very important part. The concept was to have an environment that allowed you to write code (actionscript) and bundle that with a user interface (Flash) and build these applications quickly (RAD). Sure, Flash Builder will still allow you to develop the coding part quickly, but the Design View was the key that tied it all together, allowing you to create the backend (code) and the front end (user interface) quickly. I do not care that you are a fabulous coder that feels they are so good that they do not need a design view. I want it, and I am the one who is buying it.
So, I guess Adobe must have felt there where enough people that will still buy the 4.7 and beyond concept to keep it alive. I feel... it will not be me.
Adobe, I really like your products, But this is something that really needs to be re-thought. Who ever the person was that made the decision to get rid of this, you need to now make the decision to let them all go. Because they effectivaly killed Flex for many many people.
I hope you figure all of this out soon, because we will continue to use 4.6 for a little while. Then, we will start to change our development practices. Are you wanting to push people back to Flash Pro? Well, this may be the way we have to go and forget about Flex. I hope this will not be the case, but we will see.
Adobe can make the decision to not listen, and I can make the decision to not spend. Last I understood, they were in business to make products they can sell. So, I know I will still be here with my money, even if Flex falls to the side.

Why, since CS6 does DW now use ABSOLUTE image paths when dragging images into Design View from a folder in Finder?!

While I am grateful the previous issue I had with not being able to drag files into design view at all (in CC and CC2014) was resolved.
Guys (Adobe), seriously, if you're going to change the functioning of something that used to work just fine, at least supply a way for a user to revert to the old way... I absolutely loathe that I need a legacy version of DW to continue with my current workflow. Please put it back to the way it was, or at least allow a user to chose between the two behaviours.
If there is a way to do this, without using the Site Manager (which still doesn't work from Finder even with relative to document selected), I would appreciate any guidance.
As for using the Site Manager (before some smart guy suggests that I just use that) I do not wish to navigate to and create up to 20 "sites" a week and wait for DW to cache them all, when I am already in the folder with the image assets in Finder.
Also before someone pipes up and says: "You shouldn't be diving sites in design view anyway", I don't... I develop many, many newsletters every week and the folder structure is such that navigation to the actual image folder using the Site Manager would be painful at best.
I don't really like having to and replace all instances of "file:///Users/me/Work/company/Mailers/Year/wk14/mailer/dev/img/prod5.jpg". It is horrendously wasteful, time-wise.
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies

Sorry Murray, DW used to have an idea, my point is that since CS6 its developed a case of Amnesia.
The "elements" are in the "root" folder as follows:
newslettername.htm
img
imagename.jpg
So the relative path would be <img src"img/imagename.jpg" />
However since the change: <img src"file:///Users/me/work/Company/year/week/campaign/img/imagename.jpg" />
Which is completely useless and needs to be corrected before I upload the html anywhere.
As for using the site directory, I did answer that in my initial post. I use a laptop, I really don't want a site manager taking half my screen just so I can see the folder structure and navigate with that, especially since I am already at the files I need in Finder.
Again, this is something that used to work just fine in previous iterations of DW, so I don't believe Adobe is incapable of fixing it nor am I being unreasonable asking for a choice for those that may find the local absolute paths useful in some way. All I want is to be able to chose not to use absolute paths when dragging from Finder.

Design View is Blank in CS5.5

Hello, I have had problems with design view since upgrading from CS3 to CS5.5. In fact, it has never worked for me. Design View is completly white.
I'm on a Mac, running OS X 10.7.3.
This isn't an issue with bad code, it's all the time. I can start a new document, type one word inside the body in code view and switch to design view and nothing is there. If I click in the white space on design view, I can type there and it will show when I go back to code view, but it won't show anything in design view while I'm typing.
This is not an issue with the "Head Content" covering everything up. I can toggle that on and off. I can also turn the rulers on and off and they show. But nothing on the page I'm working on will show.
Also, "Live View" works fine.
Any ideas? I'm totally stumped.
Thanks!

Design View Workaround

I have discovered a way to make Design View work as expected in Flash Builder 4.6 with Flex SDK 4.9. I tried it on one of my existing projects and I can use Design View as normal, debugging tools and export to release build no problem.
The workaround is really easy to apply. But if you want to try it, please do so at your own risk.
Here's what I did:
Remove Flex SDK 4.9 from Flash Builder 4.6 (if already exists)
In the Flex SDK 4.9 folder, edit the "flex-sdk-description.xml" file, changing the "version" number from "4.9.0" to "4.6.0"
Re-add the SDK into Flash Builder
Open a project and choose to use Flex SDK 4.9
Open Design View

Wow - thanks for the quick response!
As for the column moving, I usually can do it, but I've got a fairly complex view I'm building - there are a lot of widgets in there....so posting an example will not be easy. I wasn't concerned about that one to be honest.
Thanks for fixing at least the setText([]) bug!

Spry UI 1.7 slideshow images cascade down page in design view

When I put in the Spry slideshow all the images go down the page in bullets. It works fine in the browsers, so it is no problem. But... it is SO annoying because I am trying to finish off the page and do some stuff under this slideshow but i can see there. So it has messed me all up because I am not good at just hand coding the website... I have to do a little of both... Others have kind of suggested to just live with it... but I just cant

The only reliable view in DW is the Live View. Design view is OK for very simple layouts and documents. As soon as it becomes more complicated, then you cannot rely on design view.
And even though Live View can give a better picture of what you are doing, you must always check your design in all of the target browsers.
