2.9. Blend Development Views and Workspaces

Previously, Blend had two different development views. With the release of Blend 4 there are now three. At some point, you as a developer will have to work in all three, so you need to be familiar with each. I discuss them briefly here and in depth in later chapters.

2.9.1. Design View

Blend's real power is its Design view. You can get to Design view by clicking the Design button, as shown in Figure 2-60. Visual Studio 2010 also has a Design view, but it is not nearly as powerful as Blend's, which can visually represent complex applications.
