Intellisense when writing XAML

Using VS 2008 or Blend 3, is there a way to get intellisense for available properties when styling in XAML? I thought I heard there was a third party freebie that did it.

In the snippet below, I want intellisense for properties like FontSize, Margin, Width, etc.

<Style x:Key="MyTextBoxStyle" TargetType="TextBox">
   <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="12"/>
   <Setter Property="Margin" Value="5"/>
   <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left"/>
   <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
   <Setter Property="Width" Value="200"/>
</Style>

The following link has appeared in fast Bing. I don't know if this applies in your case, but it must have been in mine. The problem occurs if you install Windows SDK after VS2008



And Shawn Wildermuth had some good advice for editing Silverlight XAML ... use an XML editor instead of what Visual Studio wants to use for all XAML (The WPF Designer)
