Description - Blend for Visual Studio 2012



bLend for Visual Studio 2012 helps you design and build user Interfaces by providing you with an accurate design surface and tools that let you visually create and edit Windows Store applications. These new design tools take advantage of Windows 8 technologies to create dynamic applications that run on a wide variety of Windows-based hardware. You can choose to design your user interface using HTML or XAML.

Use Blend to design Windows Store apps built using HTML

A Windows Store app built using HTML uses the same technology that a web site uses. However, a Windows Store app is not deployed page-by-page from a web server. Instead, it is installed locally on the user`s computer. Like any native Windows application, a Windows Store app built using HTML has Direct Access to the underlying platform and is able to share information with other applications.

- Visual design Visually edit HTML, CSS, and Microsoft design style controls. What you see in Blend is what users will see in Windows 8.

- Interactive Mode Design your app in states that would otherwise be available only at run time, without having to endlessly compile and run.

- App building Drag and drop Windows app controls onto the design surface, set their properties, and style them.

- Powerful code generation When you add a new style or element to an app, Blend takes care of all the syntax and generates concise, reliable, and predictable code.

- Debugging Visual Studio can debug JavaScript, but only Blend lets you visually debug HTML and CSS. The Winning Properties virtual rule shows you the CSS CASCADE for any element. The Computed Values virtual rule shows you how Windows 8 will compute CSS property values for each element. The Live DOM panel updates to display run-time changes.
