WPF Glass Button

Martin Grayson has a fantastic tutorial on creating a "glass" button in WPF using Expression Blend.  If you're looking to learn the basics of Blend this is a great starting point.  Making some changes in Blend then looking at the XAML rendered has helped me learn quite a bit.

Very nice. I enjoy the examples for Expression Blend. There are quite a few quickstarts that use XamlPad for learning XAML as well. I personally use Kaxaml. Channel 9 works great too though.

Odly enough I found Kaxaml while looking at websites during Code Camp today.  It has some benefits over XamlPad.  I have to say I still prefer Visual Studio for it's syntax highlighting and intellisense while typing, though the designer slows it down quite a bit.

Robby also has a pretty neat post on creating simple drop shadows using SystemDropShadowChrome.
