From SilverlightCream.com:

Animate anything anywhere with behaviors in Silverlight 3 (and 2!) (Animations part II): Marek Latuskiewicz has part 2 of his animate anything with Behaviors post up. Check out his "PerElementAnimationBehavior"!
Silverlight 3 Beta TrackballBehavior: Cristian Merighi has a nice Perspective 3D post up. He does the whole thing with a "Trackball" Behavior he wrote and is providing... sweet!
Designing an editable Silverlight combobox (or listbox): Kevin Dockx took on the challenge of making a Silverlight ComboBox (or ListBox) editable, and it ended up being not as difficult as I would have thought.
DoubleAnimation Basics with Silverlight Application: Jayaram Krishnaswamy has an article up on aspAlliance covering double Animation. By itself, the post could have been Silverlight 2 or 3B, but he also includes OOB in the discussion pushing it into 3B.
Zoom in and out using the Mouse wheel in Silverlight: Gavin Wignall demonstrates using the Mouse Wheel for zooming a Silverlight app. This works very nicely. I also really like the way he pans over to where the mouse is located...
Login with e-mail address using .net RIA services: Stefan Olson had two posts up today... the first is providing a method of using the email address as a user name in the .NET RIA Services login ... very cool. Stefan's second takes from Bea Stolnitz' posts and culls out just what he needs to start a tree control completely expanded... small and useful: Auto expanding tree view for Silverlight
How to customize holiday appearance in the Silverlight Calendar: Jason Cooke is guest-hosting on Kathy Kam's blog today and has a very cool addition to the Calendar control... I'm going to challenge you... figure out how you'd do this before you look at the article... see if you come up with Jason's method :)
