d:DesignContext="{d:DesignInstance Type=X}" is an abstract class. I can't get the WPF design to acknowledge my type. I know some of you guys have said not to rely on it, but it does help from time to time and I at least like the design context set. I've tried deleting the bin and obj folders for that project and restarting VS. Didn't help.BestChat.Platform.Conversations.AbstractConversation. Those appear to match to me.
