Introduction

This article describes how to make a basic game – a window where bomb user controls drop from the top – to prompt the user to intercept them.

Todd Miranda has a plethora of educational videos about how to use Expression Blend, found at expression.microsoft.com/en-us/cc197141.aspx . I am writing this article to show both the importance of C# in two code-behind files: one for the Main Window, and the other for the bomb, which is a UserControl, an added new item. If you are unfamiliar with how this application derives its output, do not be intimidated. Expression Blend 4 functions as a superior vector-based design tool used to gain a stronger hold on both of the Windows Presentation Foundation technology and Silverlight.
