I uninstalled the alpha version then installed Silverlight Tools Beta 1 for VS2008.  Install seemed to go fine. I create a new Silverlight Project works fine.  But when I open Page.XAML I see in the design tab "Unhandled Exception"

Could not load type 'System.Net.BrowserHttpWebRequest' from assembly 'System.Windows, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e'.at System.Reflection.Assembly._GetType(String name, Boolean throwOnError, Boolean ignoreCase) at System.UnitySerializationHolder.GetRealObject(StreamingContext context) at MS.Internal.Host.Isolation.IsolatedDesigner.BootstrapProxy.LoadDesigner(IsolatedDesignerFactory factory, IsolatedView view) at MS.Internal.Host.Isolation.IsolatedDesigner.Load() at MS.Internal.Designer.DesignerPane.LoadDesignerView()

Note that I also have Expression 2 installed.

 Any help is appreciated.

Strange. 'System.Net.BrowserHttpWebRequest' is depreciated in  SL 2 beta1.  So, you should not get this message. Please try to reset the template.

Expression Studio 2? or Expression Blend 2?  If it's blend, you should have Blend 2.5.

I am running the new Blend 2.  Build is 2.0.1523.0 in the about box. 

The message is displayed in the visual studio designer.  What do you mean "reset the template"?

Thanks for your response.  Any other thoughts are welcome. 

I've installed Visual Studio Trial edition and silverlight_chainer executable and everything went well. My silverlight projects open but i am not able to see in design mode in visual studio. it just doesn't appear, neither the toolbox.
