There are two things that you really need to know about this release.

First, if you are doing Windows Phone development, you should not use the Expression Blend 4 RC. We will have an update for you soon with updated components, but in the meantime, please use Expression Blend 4 Beta.

Second, this release of Expression Blend 4 targets the final versions of Silverlight 4 and .NET 4, you can share your creations with the rest of the world. You no longer are limited to only sharing your creations in source code form or for private testing.

As always, we love to hear from you. Please feel free to comment below or use our forums here.

    Will the new version of Blend for Windows Phone add support for LayoutStates (even though it's Silverlight 3).

    Joe - no, it will not. LayoutStates is something that is a part of Silverlight 4 and not something we introduced as an extension to the platform. Cheers, Kirupa

    Ryan - it will be available once we release the final version of Expression Blend 4. Just like with Expression Blend 3, you will be able to download the SDKs separately from the download center. Cheers, Kirupa
