Controls by Function

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Silverlight offers client controls that perform many functions. You can select the appropriate control for your scenario by comparing controls that offer similar functionality. Some of these controls are part of the Silverlight libraries in the Silverlight SDK. If a control is only available as part of the Silverlight SDK, it is specified in the Location column. For information about the Silverlight SDK, see Silverlight Tools.

For an alphabetical list of controls, see Controls and Dialog Boxes.
