We started a survey to gain your mostly valuable feedback on your experience and expectations with the Silverlight platform and the controls we provide. Your involvement will be much appreciated and you will be awarded 1000 Telerik points for taking the survey. We want to direct our future Silverlight development into building the critical and most important blocks for your existing or future Silverlight applications. You can take the survey at: Silverlight Survey
