Visual Studio 2008 - Can't edit events in WPF

I just got a new PC with Windows 7. While editing a WPF window, when I right-click on a control and select Properties, I get the familiar property window docked in the lower-right coner. For some reason, I do not see the lightning bolt button to toggle over to the events. Also, when I double-click on a control, nothing happens.

Has anyone seen this? What can I do?

Hi,

You need to install VS 2008 SP1 for that feature (and a lot more!).

Thanks, but that did not work.

What do you mean by that? You installed Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and still it did not show up? Now, I assume you know NetFx3.5SP1 and VS2008SP1 are different.

Yes, the events button still does not show up, and yes, I have SP1 installed for both .NET 3.5 and VS2008.

I manually uninstalled VS 2008 (by uninstalling each component one-by-one as specified in the readme file), then reinstalled it along with SP1, and it's fixed now.
