It just shows a line with no text at all.

Mine shows up fine though. Screenshot?

I can take a look into this. I've not had this issue previously but haven't recently tried it in VS17

I've given this a quick try with an app targeting the Anniversary Update with the latest NuGet packages for the UWP Community Toolkit and it appears to be working fine in the XAML designer.
VS2017

OK, I have found the problem: Setting my VS to x64, the designer doesn't show anything. As soon as I change it back to x86, it renders the control just right. I don't know why.

Thanks for confirming that it's working in x86. I'll investigate into what could be causing an issue with x64

The toolkit has bunch of issue with the designer on the non-x86 build. ImageEx also doesn't work on non x86 configuration.

HeaderedTextBlock seems to be working as expected with the VS 15.4 designer on x86 and x64. Feel free to reopen this issue if issue comes up again.
