Hi, I just do the clean install of my Working environment.
I installed Visual Studio 2008 Team System, and install SP1.
Next I Install Silverlight 3 tool for Visual Studio 2008 SP1.
No Error here!!!
When I create new Silverlight Project, No error too.
But after creating silverlight project I got only the "source view" with lines of codes, and the intellesene are working fine, everything working fine, no error.
The only one thing is, I don't have the "Design view" of my Silverlight Dev Environment.
I am having the same problem, but I followed Aq suggestion, and yes it is hiding underneath the XAML editor. There is some confusion on the Design Preview, yes it will be fully supported in VS2010, this means you can drop controls and change the layout from
inside the Design Pane.
But the issue that I was having was the VS2008 it will show you a view only preview on the Design Pane, after I installed SL3 SDK it looked like it did not support the view only Preview, but the problem is that it is hiding underneath XAML editor pane and
you have to split it at the bottom.

There's no design view for Silverlight 3. The full design support will be available in Visual Studio 2010.

This is well documented. Yeah, too bad and we all are unpleasantly surprised.

There are also pleasant surprises too, like mouse wheel support.

Taken from Shine Draw:
"Point your mouse below the scroll bar of the XAML editor carefully, then you are able to drag it up to split the view."
I've tried this and it works

This Works!!! It allows you to split the pane but you cant swap it to the top. At least you can see it though...
