I've checked the Ajax online help and seen that many/all of the ajax controls talking about being 508 Compliant in their accessibility sections. However, I dont see any equivalent sections in any of the silverlight help files.

Are any of the silverlight controls 508 compliant?

Hi Sean Fulmer,

RadControls for Silverlight support UI Automation. For more details you can refer to the following blog post:
http://blogs.telerik.com/konstantinpetkov/posts/08-11-07/ui_automation_support_in_radcontrols_for_silverlight_q3_2008.aspx

We cannot state that we are fully 508 compliant, however, the UI Automation provides programmatic access to most user interface (UI) elements, enabling assistive technology products such as screen readers to provide information about the UI to end users and to manipulate the UI by means other than standard input. UI Automation also allows automated test scripts to interact with the UI.  As the Silverlight platform exposes a full accessibility tree trough UIA (UI Automation), Telerik RadControls for Silverlight support UI Automation for screen readers and other accessibility tools.

Best wishes,
