Learn about Windows Phone7 Development (13.10 Silverlight.toolkit controls)

Silverlight.toolkit is a collection of Silverlight controls, parts, and utilities that are published outside of normal Silverlight. A product of the Microsoft Silverlight team, it quickly adds new functionality to designers and developers, and provides community help to create an effective way to build product development by contributing ideas and error reporting. It contains complete open source code, unit tests, instances and documents, styles, layouts, and user input for more than 26 new controls. But this collection is not fully supported in the Phone7.

To use this collection you need to download this package:
