why some WPF controls do not appear in the toolbox - wpf

Some WPF control do not appear in the toolbox panel in the visual studio 2008 sp1, like webbrowser.
Is this by design?

Some controls were added in WPF version 4 (Visual Studio 2010). For example, WebBrowser. That is why it does not show up in Visual Studio 2008 (which supports only upto WPF 3.5 SP1).

WPF: Error getting UserControl into ToolBox

I can remember that some time ago when I created a UserControl in Visual Studio 2008 the USerControls automatically appeared in the ToolBox.
Now they don't. If use "Choose Items.." on the ToolBox I get the error message "The given assembly name or codebase was invalid", after selecting my assembly.
I have Windows XP SP3 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
It seems VS2008 simply doesn't support this.
