WPF Toolkit January 2009 (Version 3.5.40128.1) by Microsoft Corporation

The WPF Toolkit is a free, community-supported add-on for the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 that delivers early access to new Windows Presentation Foundation controls and features ahead of their inclusion in the core framework. The January 2009 release (3.5.40128.1) focuses on improving stability and performance over the initial October 2008 drop and aligns WPF more closely with contemporary Silverlight capabilities.

Highlights

• Core controls: Provides production-ready implementations of DataGrid, DatePicker, and Calendar for WPF applications.
• VisualStateManager support: Enables state-based control templating to help share styling patterns across WPF and Silverlight.
• Design-time integration: Works with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and Expression Blend for streamlined design and development.
• Improvements in this release: Cumulative bug fixes, performance tuning, and refinement of control behaviors based on community feedback.

Typical capabilities

• DataGrid: In-place editing, sorting, grouping, column reordering/resizing, and UI virtualization for large data sets.
• DatePicker and Calendar: Keyboard and mouse navigation, globalization/localization support, and flexible date validation.

Requirements and licensing

• Requires .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 on Windows; recommended with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 or Expression Blend 2 SP1.
• Distributed via CodePlex under the Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL).

Note: Many toolkit features and controls were later incorporated into the .NET Framework 4 and subsequent WPF versions.
