CompileXaml failed unexpectedly

Question

I`ve created a new project of a windows 8 application. I want to create it with c#/xaml. I'm creating project and than I press F5 and I get

The "CompileXaml" task failed unexpectedly.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Microsoft.Windows.UI.Xaml.Build.Tasks.CompileXaml.CheckForDesignTimeBuildMode()
at Microsoft.Windows.UI.Xaml.Build.Tasks.CompileXaml.Execute()
at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.TaskExecutionHost.Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.ITaskExecutionHost.Execute()
at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.TaskBuilder.d__20.MoveNext()

I didn`t change anything. Same thing happens when I chose BlankTemplate, SplitTemplate, GridTemplate.

Dunno what to do

Answer 1

I solved the problem. Tbh I`m not sure how I did this.

I've uninstalled all visual stuidos and downloaded latest version of Visual Studio 2012 RC from MS site. Installed it from scratch and it worked

Answer 2

Upgrade your Visual Studio 2013 from Update 2 to Update 4. When you Build your project it gives and error about Hyper - V Network adapter. To Solve that, allow to change in Hyper -V Network Adapter settings by click on "Retry" button in prompt. ( You can also upgrade Window phone SDK to 8.1 for better experience. It is optional not necessary to solve this error.)
