Your Favorite Free Custom Controls for WPF and Silverlight

What are your favorite free custom controls for WPF and Silverlight?  Leave a comment or send email to let me know!

For our session at MIX next week, we’re going to be talking about the cool stuff that custom controls let you do and I’d like to compile a list, especially of the community created (read "free") ones.  We’ll share that list in the the session and then later make a home for it somewhere so we can keep it up to date.

Before I tell you my favorites, I’ll give you a chance to weigh in…so what’s out there that you use and like?

    I like WPF Contrib: http://www.codeplex.com/wpfcontrib

    I admit I have not used it, but they have some nifty controls and clean source.

    The drag/drop framework for WPF: http://blogs.msdn.com/llobo/archive/2008/02/26/drag-drop-library-updated.aspx

    I use this ALOT.

    Another cool one is Hyperbolic treeview:

    And of course Kevin’s Bag o Tricks, specifically the TransitionPresenter

    There’s too many to mention on codeproject…though the fisheye panel sticks out: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/Panels.aspx

    Would it be narcissistic if I put up my control, WPF Win32 Renderer? =X http://www.codeplex.com/WPFWin32Renderer

    I downloaded your SimpleStyles project (notstatic.com/simplestyles) and it doesn’t compile against RTM. Any chance you have posted an updated version somewhere?
