Chapter 3. Expression Blend

Visual Studio provides an excellent environment for writing C# or Visual Basic code but a mediocre environment for creating XAML interfaces. Expression Blend provides the opposite experience: It is a fine environment for creating XAML interfaces but a lackluster tool for creating C# and Visual Basic code-behind.

Fortunately, Expression Blend is nicely integrated with Visual Studio, so you can switch back and forth between the two tools as needed.
