visual state manager

About this tag
The visual state manager is a feature in Windows development tools like Expression Blend and the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) that helps developers create responsive user interfaces. It allows apps to adapt their appearance and behavior based on screen size, window dimensions, or device family, such as when using Continuum for phone with Windows 10 mobile devices. By managing visual states, developers can ensure their UWP apps look great on any screen, from phones to external displays, without writing complex code. The tag covers topics like building responsive apps, targeting device families, and using tools like Expression Blend 4 to set up UI for Windows Phone clients.
