Topic

Karl Shifflett will be introducing Microsoft Expression Blend, the professional design tool that can help you create engaging web-connected experiences for Windows using the Windows Presentation Foundation. Karl will add depth to the introduction by developing an application during the presentation. Since time is short, the application he develops will be a Take-Home-Pay Tax Calculator. But to make it even more fun, he will take a VB.NET 1.1 DLL, reference it, write a wrapper class to make the DLL support WPF features, and then use Blend to write a WPF front end for the former application.
