Do you use Blend to create skins? My designer is trying to create a skin for the calendar, but he is unable to edit the control template... It seems that this feature is not implemented or disabled. How do you recommend to proceed? I am afraid that he is not very proficient in XAML and will not be able to create a good looking skin only with XAML coding.

A New Set of Control Skins

Hi val_hristov,

I'm responding to your question on "Do you use Blend to create skins? My designer is trying to create a skin for the calendar, but he is unable to edit the control template... It seems that this feature is not implemented or disabled. How do you recommend to proceed? I am afraid that he is not very proficient in XAML and will not be able to create a good looking skin only with XAML coding."

It turns out that editing the calendar template as a whole unit in Blend is not supported at this time. The method I use is to copy and paste the individual xaml regions of the calendar from Visual Studio into Blend, and, then, I design each separately. Next, I copy and paste from Blend into Visual Studio, and compile and run to verify that my changes look as I had planned. This process is not optimal at this time, but will be improved in the future.
