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 just CafePressed up a whole bunch of minibuttons to give away at MIX to the various Friends of Kaxaml that I may encounter.  For some reason, I’ve never kept stats on the number of downloads I’ve had, so I really don’t know how many of you there are.  Hopefully enough that I don’t end up with a lot of leftover Kaxaml minibuttons.  They’re too small to be coasters and too big to be thumb tacks so I really don’t have a lot of use for them other than giving them away. 

So…track me down.  I’d love to give you one. 

I’ll try to save a stash for our session on Friday (more details on the session in a later post, but it’s the second one down and called "Nerd + Art: Ten Code Snippets to Empower Your Inner Artist").

Serious Kaxaml fanatics are also welcome to purchase the newly designed Kaxaml T-shirts (or buy your own minibutton if you’re not going to MIX) from the now-open Kaxaml Cafepress Store.  Certainly no obligation here…the only who profits from sales of the shirts is CafePress (and you, I guess, as you show off your XAML savvy).
