Microsoft Expression Blend

The Expression suite developed by Microsoft is one of the most complete on the market and with Microsoft Expression Blend it has one of the most important examples of design and graphical creation, especially when it comes to state-of-the-art web elements and with special attention to Silverlight and its desktop applications.
Microsoft Expression Blend is an alternative to other professional tools that are much more complicated to use and expensive, despite offering more or loss the same results.
Blend includes a WYSIWYG interface, that can be used to work with bitmaps, artwork, video or rich text, and, of course, with Silverlight.
Furthermore, Microsoft Expression Blend includes several controls and containers like menus, buttons and scroll bars to make it much easier to develop and design anything that we're implementing.
Among its most advanced possibilities, it supports 3D objects from the majority of main modeling applications, as well as handling cameras, textures and integrating into the Microsoft development suite, Visual Studio.

Prior to version 3, the suite also consisted of Microsoft Expression Media, a digital asset management application sold to Phase One.

Features[edit]

Until version 2, Expression Web was the only application in the Expression Studio suite based on Microsoft Office code and dependencies.[6] With version 3, Expression Web was rewritten in Windows Presentation Foundation, in line with the rest of the Expression Suite, without Microsoft Office dependencies, essentially making it a new managed code program. A result of the complete rewrite was features like customizable toolbars and menus, standard Windows color scheme, spell check, DLL addins, file menu export feature, drag-and-drop between remote sites, comparing sites by timestamp were removed in this version.[6][7][8][9][10] Other features do not work reliably or are incomplete, like Undo for instance.[11][12] Version 3 introduced Expression Web 3 SuperPreview tool for comparing and rendering webpage in various browsers. Also noted was the lack of support for root relative links, links that start with a '/' to refer to the root of a web server. This feature was added with Expression 3 Service Pack 1.[13]
