Blend for Visual Studio 2012 By Example: Beginner's Guide This book is a hands-on guide that provides you with a number of clear, step-by-step exercises that will help you take advantage of the real power of Blend in creating WPF, Silverlight, and HTML5 applications. Microsoft has announced it’s launching its primary coding interface, Visual Studio, on Mac computers. The news may sound uninteresting, but it’s been a long time coming, and is a big shakeup.

You can set the properties for a Visual Basic project, and then set how you want to help protect the project.
Do either of the following:
Set the project properties
To begin, click Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor.
On the Tools menu, click VBAProject Properties (In Word, click Project Properties), and then click the General tab.
In the Project Name box, enter the name that identifies your component in the registry of the Object Browser.
The project name is the name of the type library for your component. The type library, or TypeLib, contains the description of the objects and interfaces provided by your component.
In the Project Description box, enter the description that will display in the Description pane at the bottom of the Object Browser.
In the Conditional Compilation Arguments box, enter the constant declarations used for conditional compilation.
Help protect the project
You can lock a project to help prevent someone from changing it or set a password to view the project properties.
On the Tools menu, click VBAProject Properties, and then click the General tab (In Word, click Project Properties, and then click the Protection tab).
To lock your Visual Basic project, select the Lock Project for Viewing check box.
Under Password to View Project Properties, in the Password box, enter the password and then in the Confirm Password box, enter the password again.
Microsoft Expression is Microsoft's product line for web design and web development. It first started as part of Office 2007, and was later distributed as a separate product line. Expression Studio 4 is the latest and final release. The installation files were available from Digital River, however, the downloads have been removed by now.
Important Note February 2015
Microsoft has taken down all previous and current download servers (msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net, msft.digitalrivercontent.net, digitalrivercontent.net and drcdn.blob.core.windows.net)! At this point it is unlikely that the downloads will ever come back.
If you need installation media for and old Expression Studio edition, and have proof of purchase, you can try to order a replacement disk for a small processing fee.
Expression Web 4 is Freeware
Microsoft no longer distributes Expression Studio as a product line. Any future versions will be integrated into Visual Studio. They have, however, released a couple of components as freeware. In the Microsoft Download centre you'll find free versions of Expression Web, Expression Web Super Preview, Expression Encoder and Expression Design.
Free Upgrade from Expression 3 to Expression 4
Expression Studio 4 can be installed on top of Expression Studio 3 without needing to provide a new activation key. This upgrade works from Expression Studio 3 to Expression Studio 4 Ultimate, as well as from Expression Web 3 to Expression Studio 4 Web Professional.
Purchase an Expression Studio Activation Key
Although Microsoft no longer officially offers Expression Studio for purchase, many packages are still available through Amazon or eBay. The following links point to some products I was still able to make out on Amazon for each edition. Pricing is not always logical, and newer or better edition might indeed be cheaper:
Purchase Expression Studio 1
- Expression Web 1 (single component)
- Expression Blend 1 (single component)
- Expression Media 1 (single component)
Purchase Expression Studio 2
- Expression Web 2 (single component)
- Expression Blend 2 (single component)
- Expression Encoder 2 (single component)
- Expression Media 2 (single component)
Purchase Expression Studio 3
Purchase Expression Studio 4
