blend

I'm making a website with a full page background image. I want to create a background image for a side column that acts like a Photoshop layer with multiply as blend mode. It's just a blue colored surface with the 'behaviour' of a Photoshop multiply layer. It's not possible to merge the overlay and the image since the background can change when the website is opened in another screen ratio/size. There are a lot of solutions on SO, but they only work with multiplying 2 images with a fixed position, not a colored surface with variable position/background. Are there tricks to achieve this? jsBin

I just spent several hours on an issue when using VS2012, WPF 4.5 and design-time data, specifically the DesignInstance attribute. Goal : I wanted to have design-time data support in my WPF project (MVVM-based), both in VS2012 and Blend, and I could not for the life of me make the MVVMLight approach work consistently . So I tried to change to "just" using the built-in support for design-time data, using the markup extension provided with Blend. Problem : Consider the following code: <Window x:Class="Nova.View.AlertsView" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x

I see a lot of refs to something called 'blend for visual studio' which I understand a W8 version of blend. I have VS2012 Ultimate installed on W8 and I don't see any blend. I looked into my MSDN Pro subscription and I don't see neither separate Blend for VS2012 download not VS2012 with Blend download.. How do I get it? It is one of the install options that you pick when you do the install (or at least it was in 2012 Professional). You should be able to get it by going Add/Remove Programmes Select VS 2012 and Clicking Change Click Modify in the VS installer Tick the Blend for Visual Studio

I am a bit confused on how Visual Studio 2010 and Expression Blend 4 operate together. If I want to create a WPF application, should I start it in Expression Blend 4? If so, then how does Visual Studio 2010 natively open Expression Blend projects, or does it? Or should I start my application in Visual Studio 2010? If so, how do I open my solution in Expression Blend. Also, how do I modify an existing WPF form, if I need changes. If I already have events handled and code behind, how do I bring it over to expression blend, make my changes, then bring it back to visual studio without disrupting

Sometimes I see the shortcut sometimes I don't. I'm not sure why. How can I make the shortcut permanent? I believe I have an answer. It worked for me flawlessly. After being frustrated, I wrote to MS through the Feedback option in VS2013 (at the top). A week later, one of their employees responded with this: Hi, Thanks for raising this issue to us through the Visual Studio Feedback program. I am interested in helping investigate the issue you’ve described. After creating a new WPF app in Visual Studio 2013 RTM, I was able to reproduce the issue you’ve described. By default, .xaml files do not

My WPF application has a style manager that I have built on blend. My problem is this: I've got a login button that blinks occasionally and i can't figure out how to remove this behavior. Here's the style code for my login box: <Style x:Key="LoginBoxGrid" TargetType="{x:Type Grid}"> <Setter Property="Background"> <Setter.Value> <ImageBrush ImageSource="/Client;component/Assets/images/LoginBox.png" Stretch="None" TileMode="Tile"/> </Setter.Value> </Setter> <Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.765"/> <Setter Property="Width" Value="411"/> <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left"/>

I'm developing a Metro-style app (for Windows 8) using C# and XAML. I have set up my viewmodels to be used as design-time datacontexts, like so: xmlns:vm="using:hub.ViewModels" d:DataContext="{d:DesignInstance IsDesignTimeCreatable=True, Type=vm:ViewModels My app appears to work perfectly when run, but in the design views of both VS 2012 and Blend, I occasionally get this (unhelpful) error message: An Exception was thrown. TargetException: Error in the application. Stacktrace at System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventHandler.Invoke(Object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e) InnerException:

Hi all, as you see in previous brush there is lines in the middle, it isn't so smooth how to make it smooth? (how to remove that lines) i create it with blend <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"> <Grid.Background> <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.452,1.962" StartPoint="1.164,-0.352"> <GradientStop Color="#FF202020" Offset="0"/> <GradientStop Color="#FF545454" Offset="1"/> </LinearGradientBrush> </Grid.Background> </Grid> The banding is an artefact of the gradient algorithm. It has to break the area in to bands each filled with a slightly different colour. The edges are in fact an optical illusion which
