#61 – Exporting XAML From Expression Design
September 11, 2010 2 Comments
When creating a WPF application, you should avoid using bitmaps for images in your application but instead use images drawn using vector graphics.
You can use a tool like Microsoft Expression Design 4 to generate your images. You can then export these images as XAML, so that you can use them directly in a WPF application.

I’m using Blend as a designer. I created a simple button interface that slides into the screen. I want to send the xaml code to the developers, from what I understand they can open this code within Visual Studio and see what I’ve designed as well as editing the code to fit their needs. How do I do this? Do I just copy the xaml code?

Mark, you just need to send them the entire project, including the .sln (solution) file and everything else in the directory where the .sln is located, as well as all sub-directories. That should be easier than sending them individual files. They’ll be able to open the project itself in Visual Studio and then have access to your .xaml. –Sean
