“WPF Toolkit - February 2010 Release” – New controls, bug fixes and more (like the latest changes to Data Visualization assembly from the Silverlight Toolkit)
WPF Client Development - WPF Toolkit Released
“It has been a while since my last post! I’ve been spending time working on the WPF Toolkit, helping port some of the controls over from SL to WPF. With the help of the SL toolkit team as well as the WPF toolkit team, three of the controls were ported and are now part of the latest WPF toolkit release, which you can find here.
The three controls in question are:
The controls are nearly identical to their SL counterparts, with an explicit goal of maintaining compatibility between the two.

DataGrid,DatePicker,Calendar, andVisual State Manager, this release also includes the latest changes to the Data Visualization assembly for Silverlight and WPF, bringing the official WPF implementation up to date with the November 2009 release of the Silverlight Toolkit. And because sharing the Silverlight Toolkit's Data Visualization assembly with WPF Toolkit customers has worked out so well, this release of the WPF Toolkit introduces three other controls from the Silverlight Toolkit: AutoCompleteBox (SDK documentation), Accordion, and Rating!…
Just as with the Data Visualization assembly, the WPF Toolkit implementation of
AutoCompleteBox,Accordion, andRatingare almost identical copies of the latest Silverlight Toolkit implementations - we've even kept the same assembly names and structure. Therefore, everything you already know and love about these controls on Silverlight (including your code and XAML) should translate seamlessly to WPF! ……
Those of you who follow the progress of the Data Visualization project already know that I maintain a collection of helpful links from all over the web here: http://cesso.org/r/DVLinks. Another handy resource for new users is my DataVisualizationDemos sample project which runs on Silverlight 3, Silverlight 4, WPF 3.5, and WPF 4 and provides examples of a bunch of different things made possible by the Data Visualization project …
