I just installed the Orcas Feb CTP/Windows SDK Feb CTP/ and Vista 5308.
When ever I create any project under the WinFX type, I get lots of
errors.... "Type Application could not be found. Are you missing an assembly
reference?".. the same error happens for lots of objects including
Application.Resources ... Page ... Grid.. etc - Any Ideas?

Yes, I got the same. However it compiles and runs fine.

One more gotcha with the February CTP. It seems that you need to do a
Rebuild everytime instead of just hitting F5 to get Avalon apps to run
without a runtime error.

Really? I can't? - When I go to Design mode, I get a screen which says
"Whoops!" and says to modify the XAML so the designer can properly parse the
document.

What did you do?

Can't do what? Use the Designed or Compile and Build the project? I also
have problems with the designer, but it still compiles and build the
project.

Odd... unless you kept posting I'd have given up. - If I just put a
<button>test</> in there (the Grid object or directly under the Window
element) and ran it, nothing would display. It would compile - enter debug
mode - but nothing would appear. This is when I just goto Create New Project
& click any WinFX type (VB), and leave the default project name fields.

Because you kept be from giving up, I just tried it but I specified a custom
Project name. lol - And it does actually show up now when I run it??? =) --
Anyway, I guess the moral of the story is to always give a custom project
name. Thanks!!
