Silverlight 3 Visual Studio 2008 Designer Preview

Documentation says that Design Preview in Silverlight 3 Tools for Visual Studio 2008 is away. The preview with Silverlight 2 was only read only and sucks. OK is bad but no preview is even worse. When you right click a XAML file there is still context menu “view Designer”.

So why? Cause designer is still here- but hidden!

move mouse to bottom of XAML editor.

No mousecoursor is a double arrow which can be drag by mouse down to upper direction.

Now click relaod and ready.

After closing file- designer setting is away. Perhaps i find a solution somewhere in template settings.

The splitter is only like 1 pixel wide (vertically), so, unless you stop the mouse cursor right on top of it, you won't see the arrow.

This solution does not work for me (upgrade from Silverlight 3 to Silverlight 3, using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition).

UPDATE: now it works in Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition).  You have to really strain to find the splitter bar just above the window, then expand it.  Ironically I downloaded Visual Studio 2010 Beta, installed it, the installation failed, then when I retried the suggestion on this page, I found the splitter bar.  It's a hair width and if you don't hover you mouse exactly over it, you'll miss it.

Get the following error on clicking on Reload link. And also tried to repair VS20008, but still the same error. Any ideas?

Type 'MS.Internal.Permissions.UserInitiatedNavigationPermission' in Assembly 'PresentationFramework, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' is not marked as serializable.
