This beta of Silverlight that's out since last Friday (SL2B2) is so much better than the last version that I'm starting to get really excited again looking at the possibilities. I'm really happy about the changes they've made to support skinning controls because that'll help me with reusability of my code.
But it's still kind of a guessing game, when you're creating your control skin, what properties are supported on which controls. This blog post really helped me with that problem, http://blogs.msdn.com/delay/archive/2008/03/22/improving-everyone-s-access-to-silverlight-2-s-generic-xaml-resources-silverlightdefaultstylebrowser-tool-and-source-code.aspx
The application that Mr. Delay wrote, SilverlightDefaultStyleBrowser, is now something I keep open while I'm working. That and the documentation that's been released which is FABULOUS!
So, here we go - let's burn some rubber.
