The Silverlight editors control how localizable literal characters such as the date, time, thousands and decimal separators appear to your end users. By default, the editor automatically displays them according to the user's current culture setting, but this is something you can override by setting the Culture property yourself.

Both the toggle button (which causes the dropdown list area to show and hide itself) and editable text field on the Silverlight combo editor can be fully customized to change their appearance so you can add rounded corners, mouse over effects and more. A control-level ItemTemplate can be applied to all list items to give them a more compelling appearance than straight text.

The xamWebMaskedEditor™ allows you to specify the prompt character (defaulting to '_') and the padding character (defaulting to a blank space) that will be displayed to the user as they fill-in the editor's formatted value. Prompting helps keep the user on-track to entering masked data of the correct length and format.

The xamWebNumericEditor™ lets the user increment or decrement its value by clicking on the up and down "spin" buttons. You can control whether the numeric editor displays its spin buttons using the SpinnerVisibility property, and set the delta by which the spin buttons will increment / decrement the value using the IncrementBy property.
