  I think I'll create this post as a checkpoint where people can post any info on this bug. For a background, some of us using the November CTP for WPF and either Visual Studio 2005 or C# Express, are experiencing a black window when running the simplest of WPF apps (i.e an app that does nothing but window.Show()). Other people experience it intermitently in XamlPad itself. A few links to the problem... [1] [2] ...Show All
