silverlight-4.0

I finally got Silverlight 4 Toolkit installed , referenced and working after the difficulty of finding the right namespace described in this question.

But intellisense doesn't work fully: after I type "tk:", it doesn't pop up the various controls I have available, but if I type a control name out, e.g. DockPanel, then it works, as shown below. It will even give me intellisense after I type tk:DropPanel, which is odd.

How can I get intellisense to work in all cases for the Silverlight 4 Toolkit?

I can imagine I need another namespace, but this site says that this reference:

is now all you need (and will be automatically used by both Visual Studio and Blend)
