Unable to run WPF applications after upgrade

[tanveerbadar]

Description

I upgraded Visual Studio 2022 to latest preview yesterday, version given below and even simple WPF applications which are looking up resources are failing with weird exceptions.

Reproduction Steps

Create a new WPF application.

Replace Window content with the xaml below

<Grid>
    <Grid.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="Button">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue" />
        </Style>
    </Grid.Resources>
    <Button Content="Hello" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>

Expected behavior

Application should run just fine.

Actual behavior

Application fails to start and exceptions are thrown at initialization.

System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException
HResult=0x80131501
Message='Initialization of 'System.Windows.Controls.Button' threw an exception.' Line number '15' and line position '62'.
Source=PresentationFramework
StackTrace:
at System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader.RewrapException(Exception e, IXamlLineInfo lineInfo, Uri baseUri)
at System.Windows.Markup.WpfXamlLoader.Load(XamlReader xamlReader, IXamlObjectWriterFactory writerFactory, Boolean skipJournaledProperties, Object rootObject, XamlObjectWriterSettings settings, Uri baseUri)

at System.Windows.Application.LoadComponent(Object component, Uri resourceLocator)
at WpfApp1.MainWindow.InitializeComponent() in WpfApp1\MainWindow.xaml:line 1

This exception was originally thrown at this call stack:
[External Code]

Inner Exception 1:
IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Regression?

This and similar were working just fine till yesterday.

Yes please go ahead.

For myself, I reverted VS to 17.10 and added a global.json fixing to v8 SDK.
