I have created a console application using Visual Studio 2008. In a few cases, this application shows a WPF dialog.
Now, the design view of Visual Studio is a little limited, so I'd like to edit this dialog using Expression Blend 3. Blend does not seem to have an option to load individual XAML files, and when I open my solution in Blend, only the XAML code is displayed when I try to edit the dialog.
Edit: I've noticed, that no IntelliSense is available in the text view either. When I create a new WPF Project inside Blend, and copy my dialog there (overwriten MainWindows.xaml), I get a design view.
What do I have to do to actually get a design view here?
Thank! =)

x:Class="QuantumAnalysis.Deployment.Activation.Checker.MainWindow"

Title="MainWindow" HorizontalAlignment="Right"
