Vista - WindowsFormsHost has invalid child element

I am trying to add a .net user control to a stackpanel in a winfx
windows application. Whenever I try to add the <WindowsFormsHost> tag to the
xaml I get an error like below. The error below was generated from a simple
winfx app as shown in the msdn link
(http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com...sFormsHost.asp)

I have set my references to both C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\Common7\IDE\Cider\WindowsFormsIntegration.dll and C:\Program
Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\WPF\v3.0\WindowsFormsIntegration.dll.
Neither seem to work. My namespace is
xmlns:wf="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms;assembly=System.Windows.Forms"

I have visual studio 2005 pro and february ctp release. I installed them
in the order listed.

Not sure what else to do? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

<wf:MaskedTextBox x:Name="mtbDate" Mask="00/00/0000"/>
</WindowsFormsHost>
</Grid>
</Window>

Any help would be greatly appreciated - from my side as well since I've
encountered similar problems while integrating windows forms.

Please help as it is very important for our research project!

Because you didn't quote what you reply to, and because the original
post doesn't seem to appear in my newsreader, I have no clue what you
refer to.

Quoting is always a good idea on Usenet ;-)
