Windows Forms for Silverlight

When every new technology comes out, there is someone that will go ahead and implement the old tech on top of the new tech for those lazy bastards that refuse to learn anything new. In this case, it might actually be useful, since Silverlight doesn't contain a lot of built-in controls on it's own. Check out Netika's WinForms controls for Silverlight:

Jesus H. That is brilliant and beautiful. How come MS did not much put much time into the 1.1 SDK Controls samples, I wonder? I was left after reviewing the SDK and creating a demo app with the impression it just played really nice with HTML elements and the DOM for now.

HtmlElement _submitBtn = new HtmlElement();

_submitBtn = HtmlPage.Document.GetElementByID("yourBtnID");

That demo just sealed the deal for me. I was already all about the agclr, but damn.
