I'm using Silverlight with C#. When I type just the letter "a" and wait a second, I get this weird suggestion for an invalid type. It shows with the "friend struct" icon (I don't think those are valid in C#). The tooltip shows the entire source of some internal Silverlight class.

I don't know anything useful about Silverlight, so a quick websearch got me to this page:
http://www.silverlight.net/getstarted/
Do I really have to download and install 5 separate tools / toolkits just to run a quick test of this problem? I will if I need to, but it would be nice if it was quicker and easier  |

First would be to find if it is Silverlight 2 or 3. Version 3 is pretty new, so Nels might be using 2.
You don't have to install Expression Blend or Sketchflow or Deep Zoom Composer or RIA services to code in Silverlight in VS. You do need to install Silverlight (2 or 3?), and VS2008, and the Silverlight Toolkit.
Expression blend is an alternative to VS2008 for working in Silverlight, but also an enhancement. It's more of a web design tool, and makes it easier to do graphics design, that type of thing in Silverlight. Expression blend and VS2008 work together (you can have the project open in both at the same time, and updates done in one can be reflected in the other). The other items are tools not needed for basic Silverlight but might be desired as you get into it deeper.
Thanks,
Mark. |

I am seeing the same problem here:

Nobodo thank you for your help. It turns out that Silverlight is not the real cause. A new default Silverlight solution contains a JavaScript file that defines a variable called "a". This is the item "a" that is being suggested in the C# files. |

Bad C#/Silverlight suggestion for "a"
