Having been quite excited about Blend before it’s launch and in turn quite disappointed with it when I tried the first release, this seems to sum up the problem. Designers will not use Blend as a design tool, period, end of story. It’s an odd bastard child that sits somewhere between being too geeky for designers (loads of panels and event lists) and not geeky enough for developers (no code??)… it’s rather like the old days of clunky flash components and seems to me to be good for one thing, filling in and ticking little boxes to join the code and design up… an important task no doubt but who’s the tool intended for?

Thanks again! So happy, the wmv worked perfectly, and finally I could see the important part where it comes to VS.

In fact, there's a chance that I'm not the only one with that problem. I've tried it on a 3rd computer today, and the same problem occurred. Anyway, I would like to thank you very much for your contribution and help :) It would be really very, very great if you could manage to put it up for download.

I'll see if I can find the original and put it up for download. A Roger,

It's a nice help, but unfortunately your video needs too much RAM. I tried it on to computers (the better one has 1GB Ram and 3Ghz CPU), and the screen turns suddenly red in the middle of the video until the browser crashes (tried IE and Firefox). So I never got farer than the part were a resource was created in blend. Thanks for your tut. It’s a nice help, but unfortunately your video needs too much RAM.
