]]> Comment on Are Flash Catalyst and Expression Blend scratching the same itch? by Bryan http://blog.flexforcefive.com/?p=78&cpage=1#comment-1110 Bryan Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:52:49 +0000 http://blog.flexforcefive.com/?p=78#comment-1110 Unfortunate that Microsoft decided to only include Sketchflow in the Ultimate edition of Blend 4. As a MSDN Premium subscriber, I was very disappointed that a feature that was once available in Blend 3 would not be available without a stiff upgrade fee. Unhappy with this and after learning of the existence of Catalyst, I found that for a similar amount I was able to upgrade my older version of Adobe Creative Suite to CS5 Web Premium. I'm glad I did because, though Catalyst doesn't offer that same "sketchy" look out of the box, it make a nice tool for building prototypes as well as adds Flash to my heavily Microsoft-focused skill set.

I added the SilverlightHyperlinkDemo namesapce and assembly to our Silverlight project, but it does not seem to give any properties to pick from. Did I do something wrong? Thanks Linno Hi,

Did I do something wrong?

Blend comes with a EventTrigger out of the box including designer support for selecting the event. The TriggerAction would then be your Animation. I find splitting them like this allows a lot more composiblity by the designer. The actual Behavior base class should only really be used when the Trigger and Action are intertwined.
