title: Expression Blend vs Visual Studio
body: <p>I have got knowledge about Expression Blend which is used to create graphical user interfaces (Wpf) in a similar way to Visual Studio. Is it free for download? In any case, can anything produced by Blend be implemented with identical code (markup) in Visual Studio?</p>
  
  <p>Could somebody recommend me a detailed and comprehensive "tutorial" of how to build Wpf in VS and how to develop effective use of its controls? </p>
