Third-party Silverlight controls are starting to emerge

ComponentOne is now showing off demos of it’s upcoming Sapphire Silverlight controls.  After installing the plugin, click on the Show Me Sapphire button on the carrousel.  The control gallery includes Flashy versions of buttons and listboxes and docking panels.  These are still alpha versions of the controls (a few things don’t work yet, like the Tab key) but you can really start to see where we are headed with it now.  I’m tempted to write some of my own similar controls here but it looks like in 6 months or so all of the basics should be available.  Lots of people seem to be working on libraries.
