developers will be happy to know that today we are releasing the Silverlight for
Windows Phone Toolkit (August 2011) add-on. This is a great new release of
extra controls and should let you create even better apps with the Windows Phone
7.1 SDK.

In this toolkit you will find user interface controls like those found
throughout the Windows Phone, with components like toggle switches, page
transitions, picker controls and more. We have also localized the toolkit into
all of the Windows Phone ‘Mango’ languages, since there’s a whole world out
there hopefully looking to purchase your apps from the Windows Phone
Marketplace.

You can download the new release straight from the CodePlex site at http://silverlight.codeplex.com/ – it requires
the latest ‘Mango’ developer tools as well.

The release is also available on NuGet as the SilverlightToolkitWP package.
