I'm assuming you're using Blend 2.5 and Design 2.
Try these things. I don't think you can
import into Blend from Design but you
can easily export from Design to Blend.
- In Design, select the element you want (CTRL-A if you want it all).
- CTRL-SHIFT-C (copies the underlying XAML to your clipboard).
- In Blend, make sure you're in 'Split' view or 'XAML' view.
- Paste the clipboard contents where you want it in the text editor.
If that's not what you need, you can also do this:
- Open the Design file.
- File -> Export...
- In the Export Properties pane, choose the correct format -- 'XAML Silverlight Canvas' or 'XAML WPF Canvas' depending on your needs (you should probably use a Resource Dictionary down the road).
- Give it a filename and location and press 'Export All'.
