I had exactly the same issue today in exactly same line ..

In my case I had a wrong attribute in the xaml-file. So my conclusion: double-check the xaml-file.

I was also getting same error at runtime.

In .cs file I was trying to set the button name as "1", "2"

so i think check also if you are setting invalid attribute and\or its value.

HTH.

I found out that Expression Interactive Designer uses abit more Mark up in the Window than if you use the Window in Visual Studio...Their is a difference between the 2 when it comes to the Xaml in the first 4 to 5 lines of Code..So what i did was recreate the project starting a new one Deleting the Scene and just adding Windows..If you start the project in Visual Studio and add more windows,thats when i tend to see the XamlParseException come into play...

Not the Differences between the Xaml Markup which i tend to think is what causes the XamlParseException in some other manner other than, the Make up having User Coded Errors...Their are considerable Differences in the way EID and Orcas writes the Xaml Mark up like you see below..

So i think thier could be abit more work on either the EID or Orca's for Visual Studio making the Mark Up more alike.. Here is an example of Both projects Blank::
