Describe the bug
Description: I am experiencing a complete failure of the cross-referencing features (Source -> Preview and vice-versa) in the Avalonia XAML Designer.
Clicking on a markup element in the .axaml file does not highlight the element in the previewer, and selecting an element in the designer does not navigate to the corresponding code.
Furthermore, the Avalonia settings menu under Tools > Options > Avalonia appears nearly empty, showing only a "General" tab with very few basic layout options, suggesting the extension is failing to load its advanced design-time components.
Environment:
- Visual Studio Version: Visual Studio 2022 Community
- Avalonia NuGet Version: 11.3.9
- Extension Avalonia for Visual Studio 1.11.1
- Target Framework: .NET 8.0
- Operating System: Windows 10/11
To Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open an Avalonia project with version 11.3.9.
- Open any .axaml file (e.g., a UserControl with a TabControl/Grid).
- Wait for the designer to finish the build and show the preview.
- Click on any tag (like ) in the XAML editor.
Expected behavior
Actual Result: The previewer remains static. No blue highlight/border appears around the control.
Expected Result: The corresponding element should be highlighted in the preview pane.
Logs & Attempted Fixes:
Clean Rebuild: Performed a "Clean Solution" and manually deleted bin and obj folders.
Extension Reinstall: Verified the extension is "Avalonia for Visual Studio".
Avalonia version
