Disable XAML Preview

In Visual Studio 2008, when I open a XAML file from a project, it displays a horizontal split with a preview at the top and XAML at the bottom. In most cases, our XAML will not be displayed in the preview, so I just need to wait until it tries to render, and then close the preview.

Is there a default way to not show the XAML preview window and just give me the full XAML edit window? Thanks!

From the VS2008 menu, select tools , options to display the options dialog. Then from the tree in the dialog box, select the text editor , xaml , miscellaneous , then check the always open documents in the full XAML view . strong> in the right pane.

It was supposed to be removed with the release of tools for Silverlight 3, but it is still there, it is simply hidden by default. This saves time to close it, at least, but does not eliminate the performance issues that are at the heart of the matter.
