Silverlight Outlook Bar Control

Present users with a common user interface control as used in Microsoft Outlook 2007 navigation bar.

Deliver the look and feel found in the navigational bar popularized by Microsoft® Outlook® 2007 in any Silverlight 3 line of business application, via the xamOutlookBar™ control. Your end-users will think you spent months on this exciting user interface element alone, but only you need to know its docking and fly-out features, collapsibility, group data templates and group overflow menu were built-in from the get-go.

You'll only find the Outlook navigation bar replicated with such high fidelity from Infragistics, with out-of-the-box support for all of the UI mannerisms end-users expect.
