    Hey – Liking the vids, and looking forwards to new ones in the future re Blend.

    Being an absolute beginner to Silverlight and Blend I would like to know how to add new controls to Blend. ie if I download a free trial control from Rad or DevExpress like the AgGrid then how do I then install it and use it in Blend?
