使用 Expression Interactive Designer体验WPF

最近忙里偷闲体验一下.NET 3.0  Framework中的WPF，感触颇深。
记得前一阵看过一个 Thom Robbins的ppt，其中谈到WPF带来的根本性变化，要彻底的改变以往程序员的开发流程。示意如下：

前两天安装完毕VS2005 wpf extension（November CTP version）后使用wizard创建了一个wpf application发现，在vs2005中设计xaml文件很不爽。打开xaml设计器等待时间很长，而且xaml文件不能手工编辑（可能是个例，能cut/paste，不能键入新字符，不知大家的如何？），另外发现在退出vs2005时常常引起错误。
做程序久了，很少愿意使用UI设计类的工具设计UI，但实在难以忍受vs2005 wpf extension这些或大或小的不便之处了，就下载了一个Expression Interactive Designer来试试看。发现现在这个CTP版本使用起来不错的，至少比在vs里编辑xaml方便多了，而且支持timeline编辑，可以很方便的
实现动画功能，看上去很像flash啊，看来以后这些presentation要殊途同归了。
言归正传，下面是EID编辑出来的xaml文件

这些xaml文件代码要是手写得累够呛吧，幸好有Expression Interactive Designer。
这个简单的UI的主要功能就是从Google Code Search上搜索代码用的，这些业务性代码最好还是用vs2005来吧，在button click里编写完毕就可以了。具体代码比较简单就不一一累述了。

总结一下，未来程序的开发过程分离的要更合理了，美工人员设计UI，程序员可以更专注的编写核心逻辑代码，不用一天到晚的操心控件摆放，动画效果什么的了，呵呵。

例子代码：CodeSearch.rar
