Today, Scott Guthrie announced our teams product: the Silverlight Toolkit. My boss, Shawn Burke just posted a blog that lists all the different controls that are included and gives out information about the quality levels of the controls. It's a must-read.

The components included in this release are:

Components in the Preview Quality Band

• AutoCompleteBox
• NumericUpDown
• Viewbox
• Expander
• ImplicitStyleManager
• Charting

Components in the Stable Quality Band

• TreeView
• DockPanel
• WrapPanel
• Label
• HeaderedContentControl
• HeaderedItemsControl

I joined only a few weeks ago and have been looking at the controls. What is most impressive, is the incredible amount of unittests that are included with this release. On the team is Jeff Wilcox who heads the Silverlight Unit Test Framework.

I have been playing around with the controls and will probably be blogging some short blobs about my findings. I've spend quite some time with charting.

David Anson (Delay) heads up the charting control, which is the biggest feature that we are including. He has just announced it with a very detailed introduction post. He is also announcing the ChartBuilder application, that will make it easy for you to play around with the settings.
