Silverlight Cream for October 29, 2008 - 2 -- #412

In this issue: Justin Angel, Ruurd Boerke, Jeff Wilcox, Pete Brown, and Tim Heuer.

This is the 3rd post that's pretty well dedicated to the Silverlight Toolkit release. This catches me up with all the ones I've been sent, but I'm sure I'll find more for later... so come back for more!

A few people had some good introductory posts that I only thought fair to mention because they'll be back with more content later: Shawn Wildermuth posted Silverlight 2 Toolkit, Shawn Oster posted The Silverlight Toolkit and You, and Bruce Abernathy posted ImplicitStyleManager – Hidden Gem in the Silverlight Toolkit November 2008.

From SilverlightCream.com:

Silverlight Toolkit November 2008 Overview: Justin Angel has a very complete, long-running blog post on ALL the Components in the toolkit ... you can tell he's been working on this for a while... great job, Justin, thanks!
Zooming into a chart: Ruurd Boerke is a new name to me, by way of Justin. I've added him to my daily list and the blog tag on SilverlightCream. He goes into detail on the Zooming effects of the Chart Component... now THAT's cool!
Autocomplete box accessing a webservice walk-through: Ruurd REALLY digs into a great example using the AutoCompleBox in a WebService example ... good stuff!
Sorry boss, I just released the new Silverlight Controls source code to the world.: Jeff Wilcox gives the nod to Shawn Burke as the man behind the curtain of the Toolkit, but outs himself as the guy that posted everything... that's gotta feel good! Jeff has lots of great links, and talks about the AutoCompleteBox... love the "already plenty of coverage out there" links, Jeff :)
Silverlight Toolkit (Silverlight 2 Control Pack) - Charting: This is Pete Brown's intro to the Toolkit and he delves into the Charting Components for our pleasure.
Silverlight Toolkit Released – More controls!: Tim Heuer has a nice intro to the toolkit and as others, he is taking a bit deeper look at the Charting components... love the demos, Tim!
Silverlight Tools RTW: Tim also explains the CTP/RTW of the Toolkit... read this!
