Microsoft Expression Blend for Windows Phone Service Pack 2 (SP2) is available only when you install the Windows Phone Developer Tools |
The Expression Blend Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows Phone provides conceptual topics and programming reference for behaviors, which are reusable pieces of packaged code that can be dragged onto any object and then fine-tuned by changing their properties. You can use behaviors to quickly extend the functionality of a Windows Phone project. To get started with behaviors in Windows Phone projects, see Working with built-in Windows Phone behaviors.

Because the Expression Blend SDK for Windows Phone is provided to you "as-is," support services may not be provided. Microsoft may provide updated components to the SDK in the future. To check for updates, see Microsoft Help and Support |
Working with behaviors
Expression Blend includes a variety of built-in behaviors. You can use behaviors to add interactivity to your applications without having to write any code.
You can use the Expression Blend SDK to extend the capabilities of behaviors in Expression Blend. The Behavior API consists of three core classes: Trigger, Action, and Behavior. This SDK explains how to write each of these components, and contains a few code samples to help you get started. Additional content about some behaviors is available at the following locations:
