SilverlightContrib is taking off

Congratulations to the freshly expanded SilverlightContrib team for the work done on their Alpha 2 release!  They’ve overshot their original release goals set in September by quite bit. 

Straight from their site:

Silverlight Contrib is a collection of Silverlight Controls and API enhancements built for and by the Silverlight developer community.
The current release is compatible with Silverlight 2 – RCW and consists of the following features:
Controls

• Color Picker
• Gauge Control
• Star Selector
• Enhanced Metafile (EMF)
• Cool Menu

Library

• Zip Compression
• Byte Utilities
• String Utilities
• Simple Text Parser
• Animation Tweening
• Wheel Mouse Listener
• Clipboard Helper – (Internet Explorer Only)
• Data Context Extension Method Wrapper

My favorite features include the Color Picker and the Tweening Library, which you can use to do non-linear dynamic animations.

Nicely done, I look forward to the next release!
