Interop between Blend 1.0 and VS.Net 2005

After an attempt to merge Blend created UI into Visual Studio 2005 (with WPF), I found out that:

• When you are at Microsoft Blend and try to create a new page, remember to create the code file too. Otherwise it will get messy later on (like when try to integration your code back into Visual Studio.
  
  
• Sometime there are issues that you don't see unless you have some data put inside the control. So it could be beneficial if you bind some static XML data to the control just to see how things look like.
  
  
• It's way way better to actually open the VS Solution in Blend 1.0 instead of just opening a project. You will see the benefit when you do a Test Project in Blend.
