Requirements

Depends on the SilverlightToolkit and is currently using the December 2008 drop.

Quality Bands

Currently all controls in Quasar are in the pre-Alpha stages of development. I have tried to outline all of the limitations in "Limitations below."

1. pre-Alpha: There are no unit tests, sample usage in Quasar.Samples, or other documentation.
2. Alpha: There is sample usage in Quasar.Samples and limited documentation
3. Beta: There are unit tests, sample usage in Quasar.Samples, and limited documentation
4. Released: Ready for prime time.

Dependencies

1. Built against Silverlight 2 RTM
2. Silverlight Toolkit, December 2008

Limitations

1. AttachedDragDropBehavior * EventHandlers cannot be set in ControlTemplates * EventHandlers must be public methods on whatever class they are declared
2. AttachedEventHandlerManager * EventHandlers cannot be set in ControlTemplates * EventHandlers must be public methods on whatever class they are declared
3. ImageListView
   • The ImageListViewItem does not utilize any sort of bounding (i.e. ViewBox), so there may be possible clipping in some Stretch usage scenarios.
4. LightBox
   • Currently has no "Adorner" like layer built into it, so to get the faded background effect, you must have it stretch to the entire area.
