  • Use the WPF Designer to:
    • Preview any XAML in the designer including user defined controls and types
    • Design Windows, Pages and UserControls
    • Do basic layout tasks in a Grid
    • Do basic property editing using the new property browser
    • Easily understand and navigate “document structure” using the Document Outline
    • See changes in the designer immediately in the XAML
  • Use the XAML Editor to:
    • Edit XAML with intellisense
    • See changes in the XAML immediately in the designer
    • Build design time for WPF controls
