    [EDIT] changed the wording: 1 for hand written XAML Vote for this thread. 1. if you don't use the WPF Designer, i.e. write XAML by hand 5. if you use the WPF designer or another XAML generation tool! I'm just curious, I always hand edit my XAML files with the designer. I'm just starting to think perhaps I should have a new look at the designer?!? But I'm also curious, what other people do!

      I confused myself when I wrote it! :laugh: Hence I gave the value 1 to my favorite result! :rolleyes:

        I have written a WPF designer (for SharpDevelop), yet I never use it. WYSIWYG just doesn't work for WPF - at least not if you need your UI to be localizable, with automatically sized buttons and container panels. Hand-editing XAML is the way to go, unfortunately.

            I'll not vote - and here's why. I use a combination of the two. I hand code the basic stuff in XAML, such as laying out textboxes, textblocks and the such. I use Blend to style the app - that's just too cumbersome to do by hand.

            I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be

              Got a poppy! I had lost the black cap on mine, the one that held it all together. I found another that I had picked up in my blazer pocket, with a broken stem. Take the black cap out, place it on the first one, and I've got a true poppy. The only question is where to wear it. A blazer is fine in London, where the temperature is generally around 12° C. Madras is blazing at 31° C, I will get cooked if I wear one. Will try to plug one into a buttonhole or something tomorrow to work. :cool:

                If the designer actually works in VS2010, then it was rubbish for so long that I got used to doing it by hand.

                        I'm quite tall, so I'm disqualified from voting.
