In the process of mastering the Silverlight 2.0 controls I’ve documented graphically the hierarchy of the controls. It’s a simple diagram that shows relationships. I’m using this to cement my understanding of controls, in particular when creating my own controls, where and what parents to inherit from.
I plan on extending and maintaining this overtime. Please send feedback on improvements to this diagram.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing this. It’s quite an improvement over the class diagram that VS2008 built for me.

Great job. One suggestion; you may want to add information about which controls are inheritable (i have written a small blogpost about those: http://www.firstfloorsoftware.com/BlogPost.aspx?id=12133)

Oops, you did already. I missed those sealed boxes. My bad. Another suggestion: you may want to split the core and library elements.

Man, I don’t think I can read it very well when its that small. Sure would be nice if I could zoom in, like a deep zoom or something…

I agree let’s deep zoom this pic.. Very soon it will be too big to fit on my 27″ monitor

hmm deepzoom is definetely on my radar to play with, I think I just may use it for this
Koen thanks for the recommendation I’ll work out a good way to incorporate that into the diagram, maybe even a new diagram … don’t know.. ideas?
