First off....welcome! It is so much fun to actually unveil all of the work we have been doing to help bring this product to market. The heart and soul of blendables is to create components and tools that empower the designer to extend the developer. We call them blendables because they help to blend the roles of the developer and the designer in a way that creates a more efficient and effective software development workflow. Being blendable means our controls are architected in a way that makes them easy to customize and extend as well as having a tight integration with existing designer tools such as Microsoft Expression Studio or developer tools like Visiual Studio.
