I was reading the article ‘Common Misconceptions that New Designers have with Expression Blend‘ by Don Burnett this morning. The article has a lot of great info, but one very interesting nugget that I didn’t know is that you can now add intellisense to Expression Blend.
The download is available here:
IntelliSense For Expression Blend
These are Don’s install instructions:
- Extract the contents of installation archive in your Blend 2.0 sp1 installation folder (typically %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Expression\Blend 2.0)
- Run Blend from the Blend.bat file that was extracted into Blend’s installation folder. (The only way to run an add-in in Blend is to use a command line argument: -addin:path_to_the_addin - in this case -addin:Addins\Expression.Blend.IntelliSense.dll.

The original release was for SP1 beta — if you can’t get it to run on the final release of Blend 2 SP1, check out this post for a fix:
