Design View not working in VS or Expression Blend

[StacieMcGahey]

When I open a project created using the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight Project in either VS 2010 or Expression Blend, the layout xamls do not show up in design view.  I just see the grid with "Initializing Viewer..." and a wait bar.  When I click on an element in the Object and Timeline window, it highlights where the element should be.  It just doesn't show up on the screen.  Is this an issue or am I just missing something?

In Blend, in the tree view, you can hide the initialization element "LoadingOverlay" by clicking on the "Eye" icon to the right of the name, next to the lock.  This only toggles the design-time visibility of the element, then you can see what's "Under" it.

In VS - I just use the XAML view anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Thanks!

I'm still pretty new to expression and have been just commenting that section out.  Hiding it makes much more sense!
