Silverlight Controls – Look Nicer, Taste Great

 

 

In my earlier column i referred to the nice new look of the Silverlight 2 controls. I couldn't resist throwing together a very fast application (using Blend to lay  it out, and Visual Studio to bind the data) showing off a few of the controls.

SL2Controls

Not an ideal layout, but just enough to show the bit of extra polish that has been added to the controls at release.

Happy Battle of Hastings Anniversary.

Very excited about the silverlight 2.0 release, and very looking for the next tutorial videos.Keep up the good work.

Questions: are you planning to create any web service tutorial with this new version?

Thanks,

Rachida

Taste great, less filling!  I congratulate the team, the RCO controls had just a little bit of "funkiness"; I think the new controls are very pleasing.

Yes. In fact, I was planning on doing so fairly soon but this comes up so often and from so many people that it is moving to the top of my list.
