Is it possible to create XBAP applications with Expression Blend 3 only?

I want to create an XBAP application with blend, but when click on

• File
• New Project

it asks me if I want to create:

• Silverlight 3 Application + Website --or--
• WPF Application

Is there a way to create XBAPs from Expression Blend 3 or does this require Visual Studio?

From stackoverflow

• Basically an XBAP page inherits from System.Windows.Controls.Page,so you create

  public partial class Page1 : System.Windows.Controls.Page
  

  So you should be able to create and design the page in Expression Blend,try WPF Application option.

  For publishing you need Visual Studio....
