Odd Characters Appearing at XAML Root!!!!

[Jammer 0]

Hi All, Has anyone else seen Blend 2.5 June 2008 Preview breaking pages??? Every now and then I find blend has added in something like:



Making the root of the XAML look like :

<page

or:

<window

Really not good!

I've seen something similar happen when I was transferring to and from a Unix FTP server. I don't recall the exact combination that would cause the characters, but I think it was saving in Visual Studio then opening in Notepad. My guess was that the characters are byte-order marks.

I see ... I was just flipping between the same file in Visual Studio 2008 and Blend 2.5 ... very odd ...

That's a UTF8-BOM...used to identify that a file is in UTF8 encoding... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte-order_mark[^]

Ahhh ... I wonder where that was coming from? All I was doing was editing the same file in Blend 2.5 and VS ...
