I don't know why I'm having so much trouble doing this, it shouldn't be hard, but I must be Blend-incompetent. Can someone give me the xaml for an image style where the image is at 60% opacity, on mouseover fades in to 100, mouseout back to 60% and onclick glows for a 0,2 sec. Or just tell me how to do in blend? thank you Solution tur...

I feel as though I still see a lot of guidance and advice stating that a view-first approach is the best way to go to get Blendability in your application. However, with d:DataContext, d:DesignData and d:DesignInstance, isn't the problem of Blendability easy to solve regardless of how your views and viewmodels are wired together? With D...

I do a lot of editing between Blend and VS. VS has a great option to "automatically reload changed files" so that I don't get prompted when I do some work in Blend and switch tools. Going the other direction though I don't see an option for Blend to automatically load files when changed. Is there a way to get rid of that dialog and al...

This is not really a question, but an assertion. Posting this so that others can avoid this problem. If you use Mvvm-Light (and maybe other Mvvm frameworks) and have code in your ViewModel that runs on a thread other than the UI thread, VS2010 and Exression Blend will likely crash when trying to view/edit your XAML in design mode. For ...

So I have been working on a project using C Sharp and WPF for a while now, and now recently several of my user controls are hidden in Expression Blend. I tried show all, setting visibility to Visible in the gui, cleaning the project build, rebuilding, restarting, etc... nothing seems to work. As you can imagine, this is very frustrating...
Hi everyone! To realize my application I have used a lot Blend3. When Blend3 wants to link a resource to another resource, it uses many times the link-type "DynamicResource". As I have understood (but I could have understood not well), the "Dynamic" links have sense only if I want to modify the links at runtime. In other cases they use m...
