using expression blend with .NET micro framework

Question

I just started an internship at a smaller software company here in Italy and I have been assigned to try and develop/create a piece of software in netmf like a timestamp machine for employees, which can be used on a gadgeteere board(hydra) with a 3,5in screen and a smartcard reader.

My "boss" asked me to design the GUI with pro expression blend, so far that was not to difficult, but now I'm stuck since I see no way of transfering the blend project to the netmf. I tried looking for books, but there are so few out there and those that you find are mostly about the netmf 3.0!

So could someone please help me, give me an idea or point me the right direction?? I would really appreciate your help and will gladfully supply more info if needed.

Thanks Matt

I sadly expect the answer is simply "no, Blend isn't going to output that to NetMF" - so it may have to serve as a visual prototype only — Marc Gravell

What about just creating a new .net mf project in VS2010 and inserting the existing xaml files in it ?? What's bad with that solution ? Because i'm afraid Blend targets only 3.5 and 4.0.

Edit : How do you do create new project ??? Well create a new project, name it save it, choose the assembly name and the namespace in the project main settings, change target Framework, then use Add existing item, then browse to add all your xaml/code/... files...

if it works, sure! just how do I do it, like I said I have been trying to find a book on this topic for a while now. Plus my C# is still pretty basic since I'm coming from Java

another things is, that from what I know NetMF does not support XAML....or is that only for 3.0?

srry, not a new project! that I can use the xaml files in the NetMF! I allready inserted the files before I asked this question...but there is no way of using them. Only the "filename.xaml.cs" and thats not all that I need. This is driving me crazy

So when you choose 'add item', you change the file filter to be able to see xaml file, then you select one of your xaml file, click 'ok' and then... what happens ??

Like I said I added the files allready before I posted this question, but they are not usable in the NetMF...so I am hoping if there is a working way to implemente them in a NetMF-project so they work. If I click on a XAML-file i get a "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: typeName"-Error
