How to set default XAML view in Visual Studio 2008

Question

In Visual Studio 2008, when you add a new XAML window to a WPF Application Project, the default view you get is "split view" where the visual designer and the XAML code are shown one above the other in the same document.

I prefer an alternative view which you can get by double-clicking on either the Design or XAML tabs. The visual designer and the XAML are in separate side-by-side tabbed views. This makes it easy to switch between them

I want to know if it possible to make this the default view for all new XAML documents I add to my project, and where in the options you would set it.

Answer 1

Tools/Options/Text Editor/Xaml/Miscellaneous, check the "Always open documents in full XAML view"
