In this episode, Adam Kinney demonstrates how to take advantage of behaviors in Expression Blend 4. He creates several demonstrations using the new DataStore and conditional behavior features in concert with several new behaviors including ChangePropertyAction, ControlStoryBoardAction, SetDataStoreValueAction, and the custom Mouse3DBehavior. Adam also shows how to create a custom behavior using code. Don’t miss this episode as Adam discusses how behaviors can make the UI developer’s job much easier.

In this video, Adam Kinney explains what the PathListBox is and why it is so compelling. Then, he demonstrates several ways of using it in creative examples. The PathListBox is one of the newest features available in Expression Blend, Silverlight 4 and WPF 4. It redefines how users look at lists of data as it breaks the mold of a list “box” and opens the possibilities to use any shape or path. Don’t miss this episode and be sure to download Adam’s sample code.

*** Update *** Due to some scheduling conflicts we have had to make a few changes to the Channel 9 Live at MIX10 lineup.

Unfortunately Charlie Kindel is unable to appear on Channel 9 Live at MIX10. In his place we are pulling together a panel of Windows Phone 7 Series experts to talk about the application development story for WP7.

Also Scott Guthrie is unable to join Bill Buxton on day 2. In Scott’s place Erik Meijer will be stepping in for a slightly different discussion with Bill on design; engineering vs. user experience. Should be fun!

You never know what hijinks are in store when Adam Kinney and John get together. In this episode, Adam makes his theatrical return to Silverlight TV and claims to have filmed the best Expression Blend 3 video ever! Adam demonstrates:

  • sketching with SketchFlow
  • importing images
  • path conversion to elements
  • sample data
  • editing item templates
  • data binding
  • behaviors
  • effects
  • visual states
  • easing

This is a great and very practical demonstration of Blend 3 from the Expression Evangelist himself.
