What are the differences between WPF Designer in Expression Blend and Visual Studio (2008)?

This was inspired by a question I recently asked regarding development-time behavior in my WPF application. ( It is not possible to bind data at design time in WPF using MVVM - the ViewModel property will never be called )

The end result of this is that my DataContext / ViewModel development time works fine in Blend but doesn’t appear in Visual Studio 2008. I decided not to look further, since Blend support is all I really need, but it surprised me because I worked on the assumption that Blend and VS will have similar, if not identical, WPF designers.

So what is the difference? Does anyone else find out? All information is welcome :)

In short, WPF matured after VS 2008, so the developer has a lot of crap since he very soon completed the development cycle for Visual Studio.

In VS 2010, however, the improved constructor is significant (as well as the WPF application in general ... many of the components of VS 2010 are WPF themselves), but I would stick with Blend for now. I personally use Blend to design Visual Studio for code.

Soon VS 2010 / WPF 4 will appear:

I just want to say my opinion. In Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2008, both do not have user interface design features. therefore your design is not displayed in VS2008. but in Visual Studio 2010 it gets better. Visual Studio 2010 will support a fully editable and interactive designer for Silverlight.
