UPDATE: there's a new WPF Designer video showing the features added to Beta 2 now available. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Mark Wilson-Thomas and Jaime Rodriguez discuss the current state and the future of the WPF and Silverlight Designer in Visual Studio 2010.

The WPF and Silverlight Designer in .NET Framework 4 Beta 1 has been through some major reconstruction.  This is part 3 of a three part series.  Check out part 1 covering Form Generation and part 2 covering Styling Improvements.

And Mark would like you to know he is not a WPF Program Manager as the title video implies, rather he is a PM on the WPF and Silverlight Designer team in Visual Studio.

A mess has been made of posting this video.  Anyone who wants to put the best foot forward for WPF and VS2010 should start out by finding someone who can post a usable video.  This presentation is an embarassment.

I want my scalps!

I can't see anything wrong with the video. What do you mean exactly?

I don't see anything wrong with the video, either... it was casual, informative and geeky, which is what I want out of a Channel 9 video. Smiley

Mark mentions in the video that they are looking to gather feedback on things like the color picker and binding tools.  What is the appropriate avenue for this feedback?

The video looks fine to me.    The full screen on the video is better than average on channel 9.

Thank god for the image location tool.

It is great to see WPF4 has so many good stuff Smiley

Thanks @JerryOdom and @tkchen7 for the feedback; I'm glad you like it.

If you get a chance to download Beta 1 of Visual Studio 2010, we'd love to hear your feedback after trying out the new features with your own WPF and Silverlight applications.

Post your feedback at our MSDN forum http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vswpfdesigner/threads .

Cheers

Recently, Mark Wilson-Thomas did some sessions at MIX09 in which he provided details and demos of how Visual Studio 2010 will provide better support for rich development of WPF and Silverlight applications. I asked him to stop by and provide us with some of those details, and look under the hood of the next version of Visual Studio.
