Answer 1

Most probably its set not to open the XAML in full XAML view. Try this

1. First click Tools > Options
2. Navigate to Text Editor > XAML > Miscellaneous
3. Uncheck the box that says Always open document in full XAML view.
4. Click OK, close the Options box and try opening again

If you don’t see Text Editor in the Options menu, check the box Show all Settings in the bottom left of the Options window.
