For a long time, collaboration between designers and developers has been a challenge. With developers not understanding much about graphical and user interface design and designers not knowing code requirements, there has always existed an unhealthy tension between the two.

A Behavior is added to an element through drag and drop; any attributes exposed by the developer can then be edited directly in the Blend UI.
