Here are the basic walkthrough to get up and running with PivotViewer Control

After getting all the stuff as mentioned in the faq, Open VS2010 and create a silverlight application. Add a website hosted in IIS adding a clientAccesspolicy file as needed. Make sure it is set a startup project. Go the Property pages and select silverelightApplications and add a test page. set  the testpage as startup page. [...]

These buttons have gone through many iterations and I’m still not sure I’m quite happy with them just yet, but I’ll cover them anyway since they introduce a few interesting attached properties.

I have the following requirements for this radio button style:

• It must be re-sizable
• The rounded ends must stay perfect half circles in proportion to the height of the button
• It must behave correctly in Blend
• Optional Extra: It would be nice to not have to manually edit XAML in Blend

This design is obviously open to reworks, as I’m not sure about the volume control at present. Looks like a Ventilation grill!!! It is possibly all a bit over the top, but this is excise, so some room to go a bit nuts!!! 
The colour scheme is all tied to a single colour resource for easy editing, although this does presently restrict me from setting different colours for the framework & infill elements.

The Windows Phone Controls project has been updated to run with the April Refresh of the Windows Phone Developer Tools. This project currently includes the Panorama and Pivot controls along with sample projects demonstrating the controls.

In Expression Blend 4, one of the new samples we added is called MockupDemonstration. If you haven’t had a chance to use it yet, you can open MockupDemonstration from the Welcome screen, which is available when you first start Expression Blend or when you click Help and then click Welcome Screen. In the Welcome screen, click Samples, and then click MockupDemonstration.

In the past if you had two controls that you needed to work together, you would have to write code. For example, if you want a label control to display any text a user typed into a text box you would write code to do that. If you want turn off a set of controls when a user checks a check box, you would also have to write code. However, with XAML, these operations become very easy to do.

The PathListBox is one of the newest features available in Expression Blend and Silverlight 4. It redefines how users look at lists of data as it breaks the mold of a list "box" and opens the possibilities to use any shape or path. Don't miss this episode and be sure to download Adam's sample code.
