I just installed Visual Studio and I am writing a C# program. However I can't see ho to switch to design view. In Visual Studio 2010 I seem to recall that there were tabs beside the main text area that let you select between code, design or split views?
By the way when I was installing VS2012 I select C++ as my 'main language' so I don't know if that might have something to do with the missing design view?
Right Click select at your file to view than find view design bottom or can see Design tab on the left bottom as first answer
Make sure that you have the .xaml.cs file selected then go to view->designer.
When you are open a xaml file you can see Design tab on the left bottom of the VS.
