[JohnnyBoyCali]

Am I the only one that cant read any of the type in the video? This is useless.

I thought it was mandatory to have aero for WPF !!! but I realized it's also for XP. Thanks so much!

[SIKZONER]

I can't figure out the code to change the textblock text. I do VB but I'm just starting this today.

sorry for being so new haha



[omkardc]

@SIKZONER Try usingthis statement in VB : YourTextBlock.Text="content of the text block"

...............works in a similar way in C#. :)

hello bro, nice video

can i ask you a question

is it true that i cant edit c# code in expression blend?

[omkardc]

@222phobos Yes you can edit the C# code in expression blend....but I dont think the syntax errors are detected while typing and the autocompletion feature ("intellesense" as microsoft calls it) is also not available. Even while debugging your code, it is easier to identify exactly where exceptios are thrown in Visual Studio. So I prefer writing the code behind with visual studio IDE. Also expression blend focusses more on creating advanced UI and animation effects rather than the code.

@omkardc thank you very much buddy

Can I use Microsoft Expression Blend and VB (Visual Baisc) instead for C#?

[omkardc]

@swc20 Yep!...you can use any of the languages available in visual studio...while you are creating a new project in expression blend just select "Visual Basic" as the lenguage in the new project window. Then you can use VB for the code behind.

Nice video!

how do you remove the default window?

[omkardc]

@kiranvr1

In expression blend, open your project and double-click "window" inside the "Objects and Timeline" category in the interaction window. Inside the properties window check "AllowsTransparency" checkbox in the Appearance category.

Make sure that inside "Brushes" category of the property window background and BorderBrush are set to "No Brush".

Great question by JaimeR0M0...

Is there any way to move the window in execution time?

[JaimeR0M0]

What if i want to move that window in execution time?

[omkardc]

@JaimeR0M0 to allow your user to drag the window add a function for the "MouseLeftButtonDown" event for the background rectangle object...inside the function just call "DragMove();" its an inbuilt method...thats it.......and btw sorry for the late reply!
