Code and content are separateStreamline collaboration between designers and developers

Easy for tools to consume and generate

<Button Width="100"> OK <Button.Background> LightBlue </Button.Background></Button>

Button b1 = new Button();b1.Content = "OK";b1.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightBlue);b1.Width = 100;

Dim b1 As New Buttonb1.Content = "OK"b1.Background = New _ SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightBlue)b1.Width = 100

XAML or Code?

Button b1 = new Button();b1.Content = "OK";b1.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightBlue);b1.Width = 100;
