User(s) can reproduce this bug

According to this article http://blogs.msdn.com/expression/articles/528008.aspx and the Blend 3 help documents (see "Try it: Display data from a sample SQL database") users are supposed to be able to see Commands (presumably anything derriving from ICommand) on data sources in the Data panel within blend. The design tool then gives the option to create a command invoker such as a button on the art board.

The problem is I have never been able to get this to work.

Has this feature been intentionally removed? If so the documentation needs to be updated.

If not, then its broken!

Bug

Follow the steps in the Blend help article "Try it: Display data from a sample SQL database".

Observe in section "Binding to the data source in Expression Blend/To bind procedures to the data source in Expression Blend" that step 15 does not appear to work.

I notice this has been fixed in Blend Preview for .NET 4

I think I was mistaken. I now have some code in Blend 3 where the ICommand does show up. I think maybe there was something wrong with the sample code above, as my own code is working fine.
