Art, Meet Science
Think of it as your virtual playground. Mix design elements such as video, vector art, high quality text, animation, pixel images, and 3D content with a full toolbox ofadvanced controls and containers to create engaging, cinematic user interfaces. Go Beyond the Browser. Give your users something better-better performance, better usability, better experiences. Nowyour designs can break out of the browser to leverage the full power of the desktop.
Features:
* Efficient Collaboration
Efficient Collaboration Work together in a friction-freeenvironment, sharing projects, code, and designs for better productivity and quality. Quickly build stunning prototypes, and then turn them over to developers with confidence. Your designs can beused intact in the final product so you keep creative control. Developers no longer have to try to recreate them; play the hero and rid the world of "developer art." Open existing VisualStudio projects to re-design and re-skin the applications.
* Tools for Creativity
Tools for Creativity Expression Blend opens the door to creating elegant and compelling user interface designsusing a full spectrum of media types, including vector and pixel art, video, audio, text, 3D content, and animation.
Work inside a rich, real-time design environment optimized for creativeprofessionals to shorten the distance between idea and execution.
* Codeless Interactivity
Codeless Interactivity Add interactivity to your designs without writing code-just add fullycustomizable controls, from simply-styled buttons to sophisticated custom listviews. Easily connect interface elements to each other or to live data. Layout interfaces using containers that adaptyour content and interface to various screen resolutions and form factors. Just drag and drop to add developer-written custom code or controls to your application.
* Deliver Better Experiences
Deliver Better Experiences Deliver applications that are more usable and achieve greater end-user satisfaction and productivity. Leverage the full power of the desktop and Internet to provide youraudience with big-impact, high-performance user experiences that drive brand recognition and repeat use. Easily create localizable and accessible applications for global audiences.

Live Preview Make immediate creative decisions based on real-time previews of interface elements that are dynamically bound to externaldata sources.
* Collaborate with Designers
Collaborate with Designers Incorporate design elements from Expression Design and other leading creative professional tools using available XAMLexporters and support for standard bitmap and 3D content formats.
* Collaborate with Developers
Collaborate with Developers Enhance your productivity by seamlessly sharing projects anddevelopment code with Visual Studio for enhanced development capabilities including debugging, Web services design, and enterprise application lifecycle management.
* XAML
XAML Directly editXAML code with colored syntax highlighting. Maintain quality and vision when converting your prototype files to final products because the Expression family and Visual Studio all speak the same"language."
* Connect to Code
Connect to Code Leverage existing external resources by importing and referencing .NET code libraries through simple drag-and-drop actions.
*Audio/Video
Audio/Video Preview video and audio in the design environment. Speed your video post-production workflow with the existing ecosystem of Windows Media encoding, editing, contentmanagement, and digital rights management solutions.

Work inside a rich, real-time design environment optimized for creative professionals to shorten thedistance between idea and execution.
* WYSIWYG Design
WYSIWYG Design Composite your vector and bitmap artwork, video, audio, and rich text. Or create custom vector elements using advancedgradients, alpha transparency, and sophisticated layout and snapping tools. Use the innovative Gradient Eyedropper to capture any gradient automatically.
* High-quality Text
High-quality TextProduce rich typographic designs with ClearType® support, including highly formatted text and anchored graphics. Speed production with in-context spell-checking and support for globallanguages.
* Keyframe Animation
Keyframe Animation Animate any object along one or more timelines by setting property keyframes-using onscreen motion path editing for precise trajectorycontrol.
* Custom Styling
Custom Styling Customize the look and feel of your controls without writing code. Add animation, graphics, 3D, and video as design elements to any control, includinginteractive, state-based effects. Define your own reusable custom styles or apply standard Windows themes.
* Video Support
Video Support Incorporate high-quality interactive video across awide range of resolutions and quality settings, including HD video. Use your video as a "visual brush" on any control or UI surface, including 3D planes and surfaces.
* True 3D
True3D Import geometry from leading 3D authoring tools, or create models directly in Expression Blend. Then easily manipulate and animate in true 3D, using camera position, surface materials, z-spaceanimation, and surface texture mapping.
* Codeless Interactivity
Add interactivity to your designs without writing code-just add fully customizable controls, from simply-styled buttons tosophisticated custom listviews. Easily connect interface elements to each other or to live data.
Layout interfaces using containers that adapt your content and interface to various screenresolutions and form factors. Just drag and drop to add developer-written custom code or controls to your application.
* Common Controls
Common Controls Add standard controls such as buttons,scroll bars, list boxes, menus, radio buttons,
and checkboxes-or composite multiple control elements together to form compound controls. Then customize the appearance and behavior of thesefunctional controls to suit even the most demanding requirements.
* Advanced Controls
Advanced Controls Expand your interface by including advanced controls and layout functions, such asready-made gridsplitters, ink canvases, treeviews, expanders, sliders, rich text boxes, tab controls, and toolbars.
* Databinding
Databinding Bind your interface elements to each other, touser input, or to data from Web services and .NET objects, so that your objects update dynamically and your application comes to life even before
writing code.
* Fluid Layouts
Fluid LayoutsDesign adaptive layouts using containers that automatically handle scaling and repositioning of content and controls.
* Triggers
Triggers Set interactive triggers for any object state, ordirectly on the timeline as an additional animation property.
