On the eve of the
PDC conference (did everyone see the
plenary reports with the announcement of Windows Azure, Windows 7, Office "14", Live Mesh, etc.?) The first release of the Silverlight Toolkit (previously - Silverlight Control Pack) was announced.
The Silverlight Toolkit is a set of additional
controls and
themes for Silverlight 2, distributed for free, open source and tested under the
Ms-Pl license.
The Silverlight Toolkit is developed together with the community, and separately from the actual creation of Silverlight. Now he already includes 10 controls and 6 topics:
- Autocompletebox
- Chart
- Dockpanel
- Label
- Expander
- Treeview
- Updown
- Viewbox
- Wrappanel
- ImplicitStyleManager
- Topics (6): ExpressionDark / Light, RanierOrange / Purple, ShinyBlue / Red
All these components along with examples of use can be downloaded
now .
Each of you can take part in this project - this is the essence of all projects on
Codeplex .
