With Microsoft Expression Blend 4, you can create websites and
applications based on Microsoft Silverlight® 3 and Microsoft
Silverlight 4, and desktop applications based on Windows®
Presentation Foundation (WPF) 3.5 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and
WPF 4.
Expression Blend introduces new SketchFlow features. Using
Publish to SharePoint, you can share feedback among multiple
reviewers for Silverlight projects. You can also use Team
Foundation Server (TFS) services to create work items from
feedback in both Silverlight SketchFlow projects and WPF
SketchFlow projects. SketchFlow is available only in Expres-
sion Studio Ultimate.
New graphics tools and support in Expression Blend include a new
Shapes category in the Assets panel, path layout, shader effects
during state transitions, and support for Adobe® Photoshop®
layer effects. Expression Blend 4 also offers support for RichText-
Box controls in Silverlight projects.
Expression Blend also includes new behaviors that are quickly
and easily configured, making it easier to add interactivity
without knowing any code. To support the development of
line-of-business (LOB) applications, Expression Blend introduces
support for Views and ViewModels.
For a complete list of new features, see “What’s new” in the
Expression Blend User Guide (on the Help menu).
