Me again...

I do have 2 wish list items for that toolkit :)

1. masked edit box - ie. the dataform example for a phone number desperately is begging for a input mask

2. a money text box for entering money values with a mask

These are beyond a doubt the most used jquery plugins I use in all my business applications. Can't leave home without it!

The "Tree View" demo crashed my Firefox... scary. Opened fine next time, though.

Is the source code to the whole hosted sample available (not just the individual sample)?

This was cool but I still don't think you should force users to use Silverlight for Data Entry.

The UI components are still too clunky to expect my LOB users to use it everyday (I'm just not that cruel) - they need to feel just as snappy as a web app or windows form app.

Mouse wheel still sucks.(Most annoying thing abut silverlight controls IMHO) When scrolling does work it jumps around like crazy and rarely moves the scroll bar like you think it should be - nice and smooth.

Good things I saw:

Text is finally clear - nice!

DataForm is cool.

definitely catching up to Flash's variety. Keep up the good work Microsoft, we need to keep up with Flash since most .NET developers are not designers we need a hand here :)

@ Steve - Thanks.

For a Currency NumericUpDown, see the instructions over here:

Feel free to suggest your new MaskedEditBox control up on codplex at http://silverlight.codeplex.com/WorkItem/Create.aspx

Please call out any usecases and why you need it.

@Kiran -

Source code for the Silverlight SDK, Silverlight Toolkit, tests, design time and samples is available in the Silverlight toolkit installer.

@Dave -

Mouse wheel was a recently added feature to SL3 and we'll make sure the samples support that in vNext.

@LOVE_MOSS_NOT -
