The Blend RC has just been released. As an eager child I got hold of it and checked if my projects were looking good inside it!

Some of the things that I noticed right off the bat:

• I can now see my custom Window control in all its glory right inside Blend. In the previous version I was only seeing some rectangles with solid colors.

• Still having trouble with ResourceDictionaries that have been linked using absolute paths (eg: /Assets/PanelIcons.xaml). I know it works inside VS2005.

  

• Storyboards that are not linked to any Triggers don’t show up in the Resources panel. I would love to have them editable.

I am sure there are more, but i’ll post them as I discover and probably post on the Blend newsgroups or Connect.
