More than once, I’ve found myself wanting to be able to demonstrate the range of controls that are available for Silverlight and WPF and, today, I ended up in that same place and decided to do something about it.All it’s doing is displaying in a TreeView with a number of sections in it;

* WPF Built In Controls
* WPF Toolkit Controls
* WPF 3rd Party Controls
* Silverlight Built In Controls
* …

and this is just driven by an XML configuration file that’s embedded into the application so if you happen to know of other sets of controls that should be included then let me know.

What’s really cool about this stuff these days is that control vendors tend to have either a;

1. WPF XBAP
2. Silverlight XAP

on their website showcasing their controls. So, in most cases all the application above is doing is using the WebBrowser control to load those things and display them. For the other cases, I just embedded a couple of XAML files into the application with some of the built-in WPF controls and the WPF Toolkit controls in place.

I’ve written a few times about some of the controls that have been provided by organizations like Telerik and ComponentOne. I figured it would be a good idea to do a larger dump of those that I’m aware of (and hope you add comments to point me to others so I can amend this list) and help make you aware of them as well. There are a ton of great resources out there for Silverlight developers and I’m always impressed how our developer partners are extending our platforms to make tools for developers (and most of the time better than we do :-)).

You don’t need to be a mac fan to love the Mac OSX fisheye menu effect. This kind of menu has a lot of eye candy and it’s especially useful to arrange both long lists in small spaces and giving a “physical” user interaction to the interface.

In this post I gathered 9 Opensource (free) Fisheye Menus for you to use on your on web project and give that “bells and whistles” you felt were missing.
