Using the New Silverlight Designer in Visual Studio 2010

Silverlight developers everywhere rejoice! We now have a designer that can be used directly in Visual Studio 2010 which means you can drag-and-drop controls onto the design surface, access control properties, and modify them visually, set Grid columns and rows, plus more. Although I'm a huge fan of Expression Blend, it's nice to be able to modify controls directly without having to open up another program. If you're working on Silverlight 3 projects and are ready to move to Visual Studio 2010 you can continue to target version 3 while taking advantage of the new designer features.
