  [sarcasm] I just looooove how I have to set the title in the code behind. It's so pretty [/sarcasm]. I know there's other (hokey) ways to get around that, but I truly wish we had proper x:Static support in Silverlight. (btw this goes for Silverlight too).

  mORTEN, Agreed - x:Static sure would be nice. :)

  Very nice and detailed explanation! Thank you. Haven't thought of using the source code to localize the toggleSwitch. I just used svn to check it out. This way the toolkit will stay up to date automatically.

  Beave, Cool idea - you'll get merges and conflict resolution for free that way!

  "... building applications that can be easily translated to other languages [is] easy ..." Really? :o) search.cpan.org/.../TPJ13.pod "It is more complicated than you think." -- The Eighth Networking Truth, from RFC 1925

  RichardDeeming, Okay, so maybe I exaggerated a little. :) Though if you want to split hairs for a moment, I said only that building applications which could be translated was easy - I didn't say that the translation itself would be easy, too! Thanks for the article - that's great stuff!
