Xceed Extended WPF Toolkit Plus

The Essential Toolkit for any WPF Developer!

• Provides 60 WPF controls, many of which Microsoft's WPF and the original WPF Toolkit lack. Also provides functionalities missing from some of the standard WPF controls.
• Exponentially increases development momentum: no need to create the dozens of useful controls that the toolkit contains from scratch.
• More feature-rich than the CodePlex project (as of version 1.8).
• Backed by a seasoned team of WPF developers and designers.
• All controls are themable.
