Struck by Silver-lightening!

  • Article

The cat is out of the bag, yes, Silverlight 2 Beta 1 is now available for everybody to download and use. My past few months have been spent learning Silverlight 2 and building Silverlight 2 controls.

Controls I worked on: I was on the team responsible for the following controls which made their way into the Silverlight 2 Beta 1 SDK:

I hope to blog about some of them individually and share interesting tips and tricks on how to use them and customize them for your specific purposes.

Setting up your Silverlight environment:

You can find instructions on setting up your Silverlight development environment here. I would like to use the Expression Beta 2 suite to make my future samples good looking. You can download the whole suite from here. Controls source code can be downloaded from here. It is so easy!

Asking Silverlight questions:

We have worked very hard on these controls and we do hope that they serve you well. If you would like to discuss controls specific issues feel free to contact me or you can share them on the Silverlight Controls Forum. If you have general Silverlight related queries you can find the right forum on Silverlight.net.

Enjoy!
