Silverlight 2 Video Tutorials
Dan Wahlin told me a while back he was working on these. I had forgotten about them until he sent the link tonight. I actually forgot they went with Scott Guthrie's 8 Tutorials until I started watching them! ... How cool is that??

I've got a bunch of things going, but as I find things like this, I'll be posting Tooltips. This one is the TextDecoration property I found on a Button earlier this evening. Just had to go chase it down and as long as I did, you may as well benefit from my efforts!

If you've been reading along, you've probably figured out I'm a control junkie, so I am trying to do a good job on a controls project.

While ratting around in the Intellisense for Button, I came across TextDecoration... hmmm.. what's that??

Read on to follow my bread crumbs to enLightenment.
