Another preview of the Controls in Silverlight 2!

  • Article

This morning, my VP ScottGu published a blog about Silverlight 2. I haven't blog much, well one because I am not really allowed to reveal anything interesting and two, I have been totally swamped.

Anyways, from his blog and his demo, you can see a partial list of what controls we'll be delivering at MIX! I am currently working on a demo that is basically a Silverlight Control's version of this page: https://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/samples/ build entirely in Silverlight.

Rich Controls: Silverlight 2 includes a rich set of built-in controls that developers and designers can use to quickly build applications.  This upcoming Beta1 release includes core form controls (TextBox, CheckBox, RadioButton, etc), built-in layout management panels (StackPanel, Grid, Panel, etc), common functionality controls (Slider, ScrollViewer, Calendar, DatePicker, etc), and data manipulation controls (DataGrid, ListBox, etc).  The built-in controls support a rich control templating model, which enables developers and designers to collaborate together to build highly polished solutions.

After MIX is annouced, I can go indepth into topics like:
- Using Controls
- Templating Controls
- Databinding Controls
...etc.

 This is exciting... and I hope to see all of in at MIX!

    It will be good to see your samples. One thing that is really needed is for the installed based of Silverlight 2.0 to take off quickly. For example, the more end users that have it installed, the easier to becomes to make a decision to deploy it. Regards

    And if it's the one I know and love, it looks pretty slick. :)
