Expression Blend 4 - AutoCompleteBox not available for WPF application

Question

It looks like there is an AutoComplete box in Expression Blend 4, but it looks like it doesn't let you use it on a regular WPF application. Can this be true? Is it only available for Silverlight applictions? If so, is there one I can use in a WPF application written for .Net 4?

Indeed, the AutoCompleteBox is only available in Silverlight... no idea why. However, there are plenty of auto-complete textbox implementations for WPF... See this answer for details :

Thanks for your response. At least you have confirmed that it is only available in Silverlight. I wonder if Microsoft have plans to make it available to WPF too. – Simon Williams Jul 06 '10 at 09:27

Seems WPF toolkit has an AutoCompleteBox.

Ah, OK thanks. It seems like I might have to use that one and therefore make my project dependent on .Net 3.5 as well as .Net 4 – Simon Williams Jul 06 '10 at 09:26
3.5 is included in 4 so you're not adding any dependencies by referencing a 3.5 assembly. – John Bowen Jul 06 '10 at 13:29
