Our good friends at Resco just announced some new Silverlight controls for Windows Phone 7. They’re called the Resco MobileLight Toolkit, which is optimized for Microsoft Visual Studio and Microsoft Silverlight.
Resco MobileLight Toolkit is a set of Microsoft Silverlight controls designed for Windows Phone 7. The controls‘ architecture is based on the Resco MobileForms Toolkit controls but adjusted to the Microsoft Silverlight technology.
“Since Microsoft announced the new Windows Phone 7 we have experienced a dramatic increase of demand for Windows Phone 7 controls,” said Radomir Vozar, Resco Developer Tools & Enterprise Division Director. “We have a clear goal to develop a product built on a successful tradition of Resco MobileForms Toolkit with account to the new possibilities and trends of the Windows Phone 7 and Microsoft Silverlight.”
The first version of the Resco MobileLight Toolkit—scheduled for September 28, 2010—will include two most frequently used controls: Resco AdvancedList and Resco DetailView. After the release, Resco will continually add new controls, such as Calendar, Grid, etc. The controls’ UI will meet the Windows Phone 7 Series UI Design & Interaction Guide in order to fulfill the Windows Phone 7 graphics and usage standards.
The Resco MobileLight Toolkit will be marketed as a stand-alone product as well as part of Resco MobileApp Studio. The license includes a 1-year subscription, which ensures access to the new control releases, updates, fixes and support.
If you’re developing for Windows Phone 7, and I know you are, you might want to take a look.
