You know, the same functionality that is found here in the UT editor being used to create this message. No sir. That would be too easy.

>That bothered me too and I don't think that there is a way. Blend doesn't really sound to be a tool for developers. Besides weird behavior like you described it has other quirks like claiming that a perfectly valid XAML is invalid. A simple example would be SL 3 toolkit's autocompletebox (datagrid). Despite all the namespaces are defined and XAML works perfectly under VS it gives invalid XAML in Blend.

I hear you Cetin. The closest to "white" as you can get is found in Tools/Options/Workspace/Theme = "Expression light" lol

Maybe I should start wearing turtleneck sweaters next and call myself a "designer". Seriously, I wonder how many UT members work for a company that has full time "designers" on staff.
