Microsoft Continues the Integration Between Blend and Visual Studio

Years after Microsoft attempted to lure designers into the world of app development by giving them a tool where they could assist with the designing of applications, it appears that Microsoft still recognises that design and development, whilst different roles, go hand in hand as part of the development process. In Visual Studio 2015 the integration between Visual Studio and Blend for Visual Studio becomes even more apparent. The changes range from the simple things, like the link to open Blend from within Visual Studio being renamed to “Design in Blend,” through to intellisense in the XAML editor in Blend and better alignment of the various tool windows.
