Today we are also shipping a free download that enables
Silverlight 3 development support for VS 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2008
Express (which is free). The VS 2008 Tools for Silverlight download
provides project support, intellisense, compilation, and debugging for
Silverlight 3 applications. The next release of Visual Studio - VS 2010 -
will add to this and provide a fully interactive WYSIWYG designer for
Silverlight (including data binding support within the designer).
