Description:

Expression Blend 3 is a user interface design tool that lets designers create application interfaces that can be completed by developers with minimal modification. The interface designs can be used either for desktop applications that run on Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation or for rich Internet applications that run on Silverlight, Microsoft's cross-platform, cross-browser application framework.

Expression Blend 3 introduces SketchFlow, a tool that enables designers to create a prototype of the flow and layout of an application. The prototype runs in the SketchFlow Player, which allows others to explore the prototype and add feedback.

Expression Blend generates Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), which can be used directly in Microsoft Visual Studio or exported into other tools and project formats. Code can also be edited directly within Expression Blend: the Intellisense code editor allows designers and developers to work with C# and Visual Basic in addition to XAML.
