I'm new to WPF, but at a high level it appears that Microsoft Expression Blend 2 is much richer and more capable for designing a WPF WinClient UI than Visual Studio 2008. I am wondering if the Infragistic controls can be used with Blend? (As an aside, I am also trying to figure out how Blend and VS 2008 integrate, if at all.)
Hi Urfan,
You can try this link - http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/WPF/2010.3/CLR4?page=WPF_Editing_Control_Styles_and_Templates_with_Expression_Blend.html
You can style the controls in Blend.
HI
I just tried and the links still do not work.
I am looking for something similar and wish to use BLEND to modify the Infragistic controls.
Urfan
None of these klinks are working.. Please advise
Hi ericgeas,
Definitely, it's possible to use the WPF controls from the NetAdvantage for WPF 2008 Volume 2 releasewith Microsoft Expression Blend 2.
I would advise you to take a look at the following topics from the online documentation:
