I am just beginning to try Silverlight. I downloaded Silverlight 3 into my VS 2008. So I began clicking New->Project then clicked on SilverlightApplication. The MainPage.xaml generated was: UserControl ..... Grid ..... Grid UserControl When I open this in Blend 2 I get all sorts of error messages such as "Grid not supported in Silverlight" etc. What have I done wrong??

Sorry. The problem lies with VS 2008. When I open a new project in Blend I get the correct Page.xaml, that is page.xaml declares Canvas, but when I open a new project->SilverlightApplicatio in VS2008 it gives me a WPF RootLayout.xaml with UserControl and Grid.
