    Like many others, we have wanted a combo box since the release of Silverlight, but failed to find a usable one. Rather than waiting to see if and when the RTM includes one, we decided to address that need ourselves. It includes templating, data binding, and auto complete functionality.

    Getting Started

    The initial code for the combo box was obtained by reflecting (http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/) on the Silverlight ListBox control. This provided the initial xaml and C# for the dropdown portion of the combo box, so we renamed the controls from ListBoxItem to ComboBoxItem and ListBox to ComboBox.

    The next item in this series is the drupal popular content block. You can see this block on the right hand side titled 'Popular content' that lists my sites popular content of all time.mattserbinskihome-thumb The current block actually uses the views (version 2) module to display the content, but this information ultimately comes from drupals core statistics module. The information will be hosted in a custom silverlight control that I have created that simply sends requests to my custom drupal module and displays the data that it receives.

    I will be writing a few posts on connecting silverlight and drupal in which I will replicate my main site. I will be doing this piece by piece as I investigate each drupal module that I am using and how I can request the appropriate data to populate my silverlight controls. I have outlined the basics needed to accomplish this in my previous post and will be focusing on the new information that is needed to complete each new piece.
