Note
The Project panel shows different files depending on whether you open a WPF, Silverlight 1.0, or Silverlight 2 project that was created by Expression Blend 2, a site that was generated by Microsoft Expression Encoder 2 or modified by Microsoft Expression Web 2, or a site that was created by Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
