Features
Include:
- Efficient
Collaboration-Work together in a friction-free environment,
sharing projects, code, and designs for better productivity
and quality. Quickly build stunning prototypes, and then
turn them over to developers with confidence. Your designs
can be used intact in the final product so you keep creative
control. Developers no longer have to try to recreate them;
play the hero and rid the world of "developer art."
Open existing Visual Studio projects to re-design and re-skin
the applications.
- Tools
for Creativity-Expression Blend opens the door to creating
elegant and compelling user interface designs using a full
spectrum of media types, including vector and pixel art,
video, audio, text, 3D content, and animation. Work inside
a rich, real-time design environment optimized for creative
professionals to shorten the distance between idea and execution.
- Codeless
Interactivity-Add interactivity to your designs without
writing code-just add fully customizable controls, from
simply-styled buttons to sophisticated custom listviews.
Easily connect interface elements to each other or to live
data. Layout interfaces using containers that adapt your
content and interface to various screen resolutions and
form factors. Just drag and drop to add developer-written
custom code or controls to your application.
- Deliver
Better Experiences-Deliver applications that are more usable
and achieve greater end-user satisfaction and productivity.
Leverage the full power of the desktop and Internet to provide
your audience with big-impact, high-performance user experiences
