Fixes for Expression Design to Silverlight Workflow

  • Article

I have run into two small glitches when creating Silverlight designs in Expression Design and I got the fixes from the Product Team.  When you export a design to Silverlight XAML you may run into these problems:

  1. Viewport attributes are added to ImageBrushes elements.  Since Viewports are not supported in Silverlight, you should remove Viewport attributes from ImageBrush elements.
  2. Images filenames have slashes in the paths.  Replace the with / slashes (you can do a simple search and replace for characters.

I also got word from the product team that this will be fixed soon.  Yippee!
