Can't add flyout #76

Hi Tim,

Just downloaded and installed Callisto. When I drop a flyout control on a blank page (new project) it gives me exceptions and I can't use it.

Am using W8 RP, VS Express RC for W8

Thank you for giving attention to this. Thanks in advance!

There is a known issue that Flyout doesn't work on the design surface given the design of the control. I've been working to change that but it would result in a breaking change that I'm trying to prevent now. In the meantime, see the test app for an example usage.
