Don't let the gotchas getcha [Adding the ScrollIntoViewCentered method to WPF's ListBox]

If they can build it, they will come... [Enabling anyone to compile WPF Charting from the Silverlight Charting sources!]

In yesterday's post I updated the unsupported public build of WPF Charting . The WPF version of the System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Toolkit.dll assembly in that release is all that's needed to use Charting on WPF, so yesterday's update should

Controls are like diapers: you don't want a leaky one [Implementing the WeakEvent pattern on Silverlight with the WeakEventListener class]

A rose by any other name... [LayoutTransformControl on track to ship in the Silverlight Toolkit under the name LayoutTransformer!]
