After spending many months fighting the Visual Studio 2005 XAML editor it is nice to work in VS 2008
There are lots of little extras in Visual Studio 2008. Here is a nice improvement in the XAML editor. When adding an xmlns attribute (mapping) there is a dropdown showing your project and all the .NET assemblies. Picking an item from the list will stub in the correct XAML. Once you have the namespace mapped you get Intellisense when using the tag.

Ok… Nice… but where is autoclosing tag feature.
It works in xml editor (even configurable) but not in xaml editor (no such an option in xaml config pages).
Or is there a key shortcut to close the tag?
It’s broken in Beta 2 (see http://wpfwonderland.wordpress.com/2007/08/26/feature-specification-for-visual-studio-2008/ )
According to the Cider team it will be fixed in the next Beta release.
