Disable the WPF designer in VS 2010?

Question

Is there a way to disable the WPF designer (the preview pane, I only need the XAML-pane with intellisense) in VS 2010?

Please note that when hiding the Design view of the WPF designer, it will still render the form/control ... I don't consider that disabled.

I only see the "Open With" + "XML Editor"-solution, which doesn't give nearly the fidelity the default XAML designer has.

Answer 1

I don't know about 2010, but in 2008 you can Tools->Options->Text Editor->XAML->MIscellaneous->"Always open documents in full XAML view"

Maybe this helps.
