There is no silverlight designer in VS 2008 only for WPF

You could use Expression Blend. It has a great desinger and works with Silverlight and WPF.

Look into Kaxaml. It's a small download and it allows you to design XAML in realtime (e.g., if you have animations, it will show them in to top pane while you type XAML in the bottom pane).

Looks like VS2010 will support a Silverlight designer (the way you want it).
