    I haven't got Intellisense when I edit C# code behind files launched from within Expression Blend. How do I get it / fix it?

    I am able to see the intellisence for c# in Silverlight app using blend. I use expression 3 preview.
    which version are you using ?

    if you are expecting any control to be displayed first you have to give control name. when you drag and drop any control on artboard using blend there will be no control name by default.

    I hope this will help you :)

    Thanks for that. I get a C# Intellisense if I open my Visual Studio project and load the project manually, but not if I double click a .xaml.cs file from within Blend. Is there Intellisense for XAML editors?

    Hi Prasad, I am having a similar issue. C# intellisense does work for me in Blend (Blend 3 RC) but not for everything. For example if I have a named component, intellisense will not pick up on it through Blend, only in Visual Studio. Another example is the following line:

    myGrid.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

    the myGrid does not pick up ( although it is defined in the Xaml)
    the .Visibility does
    the second Visibility does not
    and the .Visible is not an option under the list that appears after typing the ".", but I am able to use this property and it works correctly.

    Thanks and I hope I was able to help add some detail to this issue
