I've just removed a big memory issue for me, I used to merge our "Themes" resource dictionary in every xaml file instead of just in the app.cs.xaml. However, after removing the merging in every file except the App.cs.xaml I've lost the design time styles/templates. Please note: This only applies to the styles merged into our Themes.xam...
I know this is leaning more in the direction of a designer question, but as I am faced with developing something which requires me to crop an image, I thought I would give the question a shot. This seems like a ridiculous question to ask, but I've look all over the IDE (Expression Blend 2) to try and find a way to crop my image, but I c...

The cause of this seems to be because width/height is not always set in the XAML-file - only margins. If the size of the workspace is different thi...

When I change the style of my window to WindowStyle="None" and AllowsTransparency="True" I lose the inactive window visuals. Is there a trigger I can use in the XAML style that can show a hidden mask or opacity changes in the main window when another window has focus? I'd like to be able to achieve this within the XAML and not programat...
Maybe it's the 3 hours of sleep (thank you Harry Potter) talking this afternoon but I cannot wrap my head around this. I'm trying to learn to use Expression Blend 3. And by learn, I mean do things in the "Blend way", using Behaviors and DataGrids and the new SampleData and all it's wonderfulness. I think it will be beneficial in the l...

However this option is gray (unavailable). Thanks, Kiril ...
Looking for the best practice here... I would like to allow multiple users to provide feedback against a single SketchFlow project. They would also like this ability so that they could see everyone else's annotations. I realize that they could very well do this now, but is there a way to distinguish what feedback belongs to a given user?...
For example in Sketchflow add-in there is ApplicationFlowPane (derrived from PrototypingPane) which registers itself using IWindowService like this: service.RegisterPalette(this.PaletteRegistryName, this, this.Caption, this.KeyBinding); But i can't see where it is defined that it is docked on bottom pane. Before someone repli...

Hello, I'm starting a WPF project in a "free tools" environment. I'm currently working with the designer in Visual C# Express 2008, and directly with the XAML, both of which are very limited in design capabilities. My understanding is that Microsoft Expression Blend is not available for free (except for limited time trial). Is Expressi...
